stréla thunderbolt, flash of lightning, lightning; (udarec) a stroke of lightning
 stréla z jasnega neba a bolt from the blue
 kot od stréle zadet thunderstruck, dumbfounded
 biti zadet od stréle to be struck by lightning
 kot stréla zadeti to strike like a thunderbolt
 zadeti kot stréla z jasnega to hit (someone) like a bolt from the blue
 novica je bila zame kot stréla z jasnega the news came to me like a bolt from the blue
 stréla je udarila v drevo a tree was struck by lightning
 kot stréla hiter quick as lightning
 kot stréla je šinil proč he was off like a shot
 kot stréla hitro (figurativno) like (greased) lightning
 priti kot stréla z jasnega to appear suddenly out of the blue, to come all of a sudden
 gromska strél! well I'll be blowed!
