Snowball chance是个一语双关的词组，你引用字典固然没有错，但烂土豆的本意可不是这个。
因为Snowball chance本是某好事者，崇拜那个曾经写下反映专制集权小说《1984》的驰名作者Orwell。
为了蹭热度，该好事者以调侃的风格，模仿偶像的文风，为偶像的另一篇小说《动物农场》，写了续集，书名为《Snowball's chance》。
该续集描述了看似不可能实现的梦想，只要努力还是能成功的。
所以烂土豆的言外之意是，川普你就尽情用来过猛吧，爱拼才会赢！

I talked with my son about the three books, he said: Same book, different readers, different comprehension, different understanding.

俺们讨厌蛆多和自由党是真的，但现在谈加拿大加入美国有点儿异想天开，不具备那种条件。媒体搅合这事有替自由党转移视线应对危机之嫌。
