用不可能实现的夸张来作比喻就叫Adynaton。比如:

(2)It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a sinner get into the kingdom of heaven.
(3)Hu*****and: I’m going to the strip club tonight. See you tomorrow morning.
Wife: When pigs fly, it’s our anniversary!
Hu*****and: Okay, I’ll be home at midnight then.
