52. Not a Snowball's Chance in Hell
The idiom "not a snowball's chance in hell" describes something that is extremely unlikely to happen, practically impossible. Imagine someone trying to survive in a scorching desert, carrying a snowball with them. The image is absurd, highlighting the impossibility of the situation. This idiom emphasizes the lack of probability, the near-zero chance of success. It is often used to express a sense of pessimism or disbelief, indicating that something is highly improbable or even ridiculous. While it's important to be realistic about our chances of success, it's also crucial to maintain a sense of hope and to never give up on our dreams. Even if something seems "not a snowball's chance in hell," there's always a possibility, however small, that things can change.
地獄裡連滾雪球的機會都沒有 (沒有任何可能)
