"She hit Chicago like a bucket of cold water" in Persian?

Question

 

She hit Chicago like a bucket of cold water.

Answer 1

Hi Ali.

When I googled "like a bucket of cold water", many results for this expression contained the word "head", for example:

"like a bucket of cold water on the head of a drunk"

or "like a bucket of cold water on my head".

Now, regarding the effect that "cold water on someone's head" might have, I think we can translate it like this:

برد او چون آب سردی بود بر پیکر شیکاگو. (اگر منظور از hit بردن در یک مسابقه باشد)

ضربه اش به شیکاگو، ناگهان او را به خود آورد. (اگر منظور از hit ضربه زدن باشد)

Answer 2

I agree with Masood. The main question is the meaning of the "hit" in this sentence. I found some near sentences in the sports area. Thus, "hit" may be meant "بردن". Therefore, Chicago is perhaps a name of sports team. But I also found the following sentence:

The realization hit me like a bucket of cold water.

What are your ideas, guys, in this case?

 

Thanks
