我有更好的答案
　　when pigs fly　　adv.永无可能;　　[网络]决不可能; 太阳打西边出来了; 绝不可能;　　[例句]A-ming: She will when pigs fly! She swore she'd rather be a nun than be his wife!　　阿明：不可能的!她发誓她宁可当尼姑也不会嫁给他!
直接翻译的话是：当猪在飞的时候。其真正的含义是永无可能，不现实的短语。用形象的比喻来说明事件的不可能，不现实。这也是英语表达中比较地道的口语。例句：You will get Taylor Swift to ask you on a date when pigs fly!等猪都会飞了你就会得到泰勒.斯威夫特的约会邀请。
绝对不可能，痴心妄想...

弗鲁姆（Chris Froome）在本届环意上的迷思有三：粉色Pinarello F10上的CCCCNCI字样、第19赛段中频繁点按手变上的D-FLY按键与始终如一的高踏频。此前我们已经为你揭秘了前者的秘密（相关报道：），今天，小编将为你揭秘后两者的真相。相信弗鲁姆在2018年环意第19赛段上的表现一定圈了不少粉，但质疑声同样也存在。在我们感叹弗鲁姆80公里单飞获胜的同时，细心的朋友会在比赛直播中发现弗鲁姆频繁点按Shimano Di2手变上的D-FLY按键，并且无论坡度变化如何，始终都能保持高踏频骑行。这一系列表现，很多车迷都质疑，他是否在点按中置电机的按钮，才能在坡度变化时，保证如此稳定的高踏频输出。Shimano D-FLY按钮Shimano Di2手变上的D-FLY按钮是为增强电子变速的扩展性能而设计的，它可以通过ANT+的方式与多种自行车配件相连，例如控制智能车灯的开关与自行车码表的翻页。在不配对其他智能设备的情况下，它还可以当做控制电子变速的自定义按键使用。在禧玛诺中国的D-FLY微博下，有网友逗趣的评论道：难道不该是中轴电机控制按键吗破解迷思证据：UCI严苛的机械禁药检测在本届环意上，UCI采用了X光检测装置与平板电脑两种方式检测机械禁药现象。此前多方质疑平板电脑对于机械禁药的检测效果不佳，因此UCI在2018年3月推出了X光检测装置检查自行车内部的改装。在本届环意中，UCI总共使用X光检测仪检查了6次弗鲁姆的比赛用车，其中包括段弗鲁姆单飞获胜的第19赛段。第19赛段前，环意夺冠热门车手西蒙·耶茨（Simon Yates）的待遇更好，在本届比赛中他总共经受了11次机械禁药的检查。在所有车手中，总共有58名车手接受了X光检测仪的检查，剩下的车手则用平板电脑接受了总共1440次的检查。因此，我们可以排除弗鲁姆机械作弊的可能，得出弗鲁姆在比赛中频繁点按D-FLY按钮并非为了控制中轴电机，他始终如一的高踏频也完全是真材实料的能力。至少目前为止，还未有任何弗鲁姆在本届环意上服用违禁药物的消息与证据。文：HCY图：资料图库
