英语翻译
It is the same reason that the typewriter keyboard is standardized.We might call this “figurative” networking,by analogy to the distinction between literal and figurative queuing (for example,standing in line to buy a ticket versus waiting for one’s case to be called for trial).

答案

打字键盘标准化也是这个道理.我们可以称它是“喻意”上的网络运行.通过原义上排队和喻意上排队的区别（例如：排队买票与排队等待案子被审判）来作类比,说明这个“喻意”上网络运行的概念.
我认为这里的“figurative”and "literal" 就是抽象意义和具体意义的区别.
