This metaphor

English to Chinese translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / Microsoft Office 12
English term or phrase: This metaphor
When users save a document with the current or previous versions of Microsoft Office, a single file is written to disk, which can then easily be opened subsequently. This metaphor is important to how documents are stored, managed and shared in practice. By wrapping the individual parts of an “Office 12” file in a ZIP container, documents will still remain a single file instance. The use of a single package file to represent the entity of a single document means users will have the same experience that they do today when saving and opening documents with “Office 12.”

this metaphor
传说中的


Explanation:
中文用隐喻觉得怪怪！

因为微软公司的源程序是保密的，因此人们不知道你在存储文件时，微软公司做了什么手脚。


微软公司不提供存文件时的细节，这样的存储过程，可能是作者的猜测，或者是程序员之间的传说
