chance and opportunity, good or bad
Is the word "chance" can be both a good chance and bad one while "opportunity" normally indicates a good one? Thank you!
I mean a good "opportunity" like getting promoted and a bad "chance" like getting stuck in the traffic or even worse like being injured in an accident.

The Snow[s] of Kilimanjaro
Why is "The Snow[s] of Kilimanjaro" (by Ernest Hemingway), not "The Snow"?
Snow is uncountable, isn't it?
Thank you!

请教，四川或重庆的街头叫卖声
在网上一个视频里面，背景声音（画面上并没有这个叫卖的人）是好像四川话或重庆话的街头叫卖。大概的发音是“不锈钢，豆腐干”（中间是停顿，应该是两种物品的名字），不过声调和普通话是不同的。假如“豆腐干”正确的话，那么前面类似于“不锈钢”的发音（也有点像“佛手瓜”），可能是什么食品、小吃呢？谢谢！
