看来，你还没有考虑过rainy day。
rainy day是下⾬天的意思，但很早以前，它就有了“困难、不幸”之意，所有save for a rainy day也就是“以备不时之需”的意思。
⽉光族们要好好⾃我反省⼀下哦，不能今朝有酒今朝醉啦。
Ads from the bank keep advising people to save some money for a rainy day. 银⾏的⼴告⼀直建议⼈们存钱以备不时之需。
2.when pig fly 很多形象的说法来⽐喻某事不可能实现，⽐如：⽩⽇做梦、太阳从西边出来、异想天开……⽽英语中也有⼀个形象搞笑的说法，就三个词：“when pig fly”(当猪可以飞的时候)。
猪，⼜肥⼜胖，没有翅膀，靠⾃⼰的⼒⽓是飞不起来的。
所以当猪可以飞的时候，那可真是猴年马⽉了。
这种说法源⾃苏格兰谚语，还曾经在《爱丽丝梦游仙境》中出现。
——Do u think ur brother will be successful?你觉得你弟弟会成功吗? ——When pig fly he will猴年马⽉吧。
