This sounds like an incorrect translation from your software. Try a different program you may have better luck. Or Post the original sentence online perhaps someone can translate more appropriately. Stephen

"pork"在美口语里指"政治恩惠" (指政府用以笼络选民的政治拨款等口头恩惠) 如果你关注过美总统大选一定很能理解这个."in the road '是尚未实现的吧.所以它应该是说"除非我们真的能做到XX,YY才会成为我们到手的肥肉" 原谅我翻译得粗俗,"pork"很容易让人产生类似联想. 而且这种句子要联系前后语境和背景才好理解. 所以上面都是猜的,你可以假装没看到.

I think what was likely said was 'it's a fork in the road...' rather than 'it's a pork in the road...' A fork in a road is when the road splits in different directions, meaning there are different paths you can take. Describing something as being a fork in the road means that there are different directions or options you could take and a decision needs to be made to decide. I can't tell you exactly how that applies to what you've heard as there is no real context and the second part doesn't help much, but that's the basic concept of what a "fork in the road" is.
