"From the sublime to the ridiculous is only a step" -> nghĩa là những điều tốt đẹp/cao quý rất dễ biến thành trò hề/lố bịch (từ sang chảnh đến ngớ ngẩn chỉ với một bước chân); như "gái xinh quẹt tay ăn bánh kem" đó.

Ví dụ
Is there a wine more synonymous (đồng nghĩa) with this time of year than rosé? Probably not, and producers know it, flooding the market each year with everything from the sublime to the ridiculous is only a step.

It is strange how often in life we go from the sublime to the ridiculous. Everything easily swings from one extreme to the other. You may feel that you are already giving it all you've got, but there's just a little more that you can find from somewhere.

“From the sublime to the ridiculous is only a step” is a well-known idiom that came to mind multiple times during our week with the 2017 Mercedes-AMG C63 S cabriolet (xe mui trần). Could that step be the difference between the sublime and equally new C43 AMG cabriolet, with its sweet 362-hp twin-turbocharged V-6, and the ridiculously overpowered C63/C63 S cabriolets, endowed as they are with AMG’s hand-built, twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 in 469-hp and 503-hp tunes? Or, considering the mass and structural challenges of convertibles, is that step Mercedes-AMG’s decision to risk diluting the street cred of its C63/C63 S coupes, being bad-ass creatures themselves? Regardless of the answer, a C63 S cabriolet is just a step away from two vehicles that could be fairly characterized as sublime, and we couldn’t wait to get our hands on one, drop the top, and determine where it fell.
