pie是馅饼,那pie in the sky你能猜出它的意思吗?


Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.
成功绝非偶然,而意味着努力工作、持之以恒、学习求知、忘我付出,最重要的是,它需要你对自己正在做或正在学习的事情拥有无比的热爱。
pie in the sky
难以实现的允诺。
这个短语起源于19世纪末至20世纪初的美国,世界产业工人联盟发布的宣传歌曲《传教士与奴隶》,里面有这样的歌词:“工作、祈祷,睡在干草垛上,你死后会吃到天国的馅饼(Work and pray, live on hay. You'll get pie in the sky when you die)。”歌曲中描述了工人们将来在天堂享受的幸福,暗示他们对待工人们的困境很少有任何帮助。这个表达后来被引申为指任何虚幻、虚假的承诺或期望,用来表达对某人或某事不切实际的期待。
与之意思相近的短语还有:
castles in the air:虚构的、不切实际的梦想或计划。
pipe dream:不切实际的、不现实的计划或愿望。
wild goose chase:毫无结果的追逐,徒劳无功的努力。
blue sky thinking:在没有限制或约束的情况下进行的创意或设想。
