天文学家也一直持相似结论：当太阳燃烧、膨胀以至于它的表面触碰到地球之时，地球将被这个巨大火球所毁灭。

Astronomers have long come to a similar conclusion: that the Earth will be obliterated by a giant fireball as the sun burns up and expands so that its surface touches the planet.

从表面上看，这与2003年至2004年的情况相似：上一轮房地产、信贷、大宗商品和股市泡沫就是在那时开始膨胀，主要受低名义利率和低通胀的推动。

On the surface, this looks like 2003 and 2004 when the previous housing, credit, commodity and equity bubbles started to inflate, helped by low nominal interest rates and a lack of inflation.

但是官方的记录里，那儿和情况相似的邻村应该是膨胀为622个选民了。

But according to the official register, this and a similar neighbouring village were supposed to be bulging with 622 voters.

it's kind of like the Joule expansion, an ideal gas.

焦耳-汤姆逊膨胀过程相似。
