Ví dụ

Lagos is a major city in Nigeria where the Avengers, and Wanda specifically, left a hell of a mess that the entire MCU wrestled with for years.

Nine years later, there is very little of that. The UN seems powerless, and civilians are once again suffering. Some 350,000 have been displaced inside the country. Tens of thousands risk dangerous sea crossings into Europe, where they are barely tolerated if they make it at all. Libya's civil war continues, spiralling into an international free-for-all. "It's one hell of a mess," said Ahmed Dahmani, a 30 year-old engineer from Tripoli.

Don't let the title fool you. Hell in this book isn't some far flung, war-torn or disease-ravaged country. (Although they do make appearances.) It's not the struggles of setting up your own business or even the deflation (sự giải lạm phát) that comes from being one of the most significant players on the international stage, complete with security detail and airplane, to now getting pulled aside for a bag check at airport security. It's not about the "hell of a mess" aspects of life.
