move the goalposts 搬龍門
move the goalposts
繁：搬龍門
简：搬龙门
潮語「搬龍門」或「亂搬龍門」，意思並唔係真係要將個踢波嘅龍門搬嚟搬去。「搬龍門」只係一個比喻，形容有啲人講嘢或做嘢一時一樣，經常轉換講法，成日用唔同標準去判斷，即係永遠都係自己啱晒，人哋錯晒。

足球始終係鬼佬嘢，「搬龍門」呢句潮語，其實係嚟自英諺「Moving the Goalposts」，直譯就係「搬龍門柱」，係八十年代開始喺英美地區開始流行嘅諺語。

行會成員兼人大代表鄭耀棠亦說，鄧小平在基本法討論稿出台前已清楚表明，香港不搞三權分立或西方一套，三權分立制並不適合在香港運行，故中央並無「搬龍門」。
