4、 comes the hour, comes the woman是什么意思？

"It was a time when the economy was a really big story, all hell was breaking loose - repossessions, unemployment, every day we had to write features news stories and do our columns," he said. "She introduced herself saying she wanted to get into journalism. I thought 'comes the hour, comes the woman' and I hired her."

原译：他说："当时，经济确实是大新闻，都乱了套了，重新占有啦，失业啦，每天我们都得写新闻特写和专栏。她自我介绍说，她想搞新闻。我想，'时候一到，女人就来'，这样，我雇用了她。"

改译：他说："当时，经济确实是重头新闻，到处乱哄哄的，回复产权啦，失业啦，每天我们都得写新闻特写和专栏。她自我介绍说，她想搞新闻。我想，'她来的正是时候'，这样，我就雇用她了。"

点评：

1、(all)hell breaks (或is broken, 或is let)loose意为"大乱起来，闹翻天"。

2、 repossessions译"重新占有"不明确，应改为"恢复产权"。

3、comes the hours, comes the woman，还有另一种说法，comes the hour,comes the man,意思都一样，在这里可译为"来的正是时候"。
