Pie in the sky:此语直译为“天国的馅饼”,源自美国流行作曲家、IWW世界产业工人联盟的组织者JOE HILL(1879-1915)在1911年所作的第一首著名歌曲《传教士与奴隶》(The Preacher and the Slave)。他在歌中写到:
“You will eat, bye and bye,
In the glorious land above the sky!
Work and pray, live on hay,
You'll get PIE IN THE SKY when you die!”
(不久你将在天上的圣地就餐。劳动吧!祈祷吧!靠干草过活吧!死后你就会得到天国的馅饼!)

这几句歌词是Joe Hill从美国救世军军歌中引用过来的,他意在讽刺这个宗教组织,揭露其欺骗性。后来人们就用a pie in the sky 比喻“死后的幸福”、“渺茫的希望”、“不能保证实现的允诺”等意思。
