Die Supernova überstrahlt alle anderen Sterne in ihrer Galaxie. The supernova outshines all the other stars in its galaxy.

Dieser melancholische, nörglerisch den gesellschaftlichen Niedergang bequengelnde dickleibige und einsame Beamte, der gleichwohl unverdrossen seinen Dienst tut, ist zu einer Identifikationsfigur der deutschen Leser geworden, die mit ihrer überwältigenden Wirkung etliche (kriminal-)literarisch interessantere Autoren überstrahlt. [G] This melancholic, grouchy, corpulent and lonely official, who complains about social decline yet nevertheless sedulously does his duty, has become a figure of identification for the German reader, whose overwhelming presence outshines many a mystery story by authors who are more interesting from a literary point of view.
