Definition

下辈子

Literally means:

afterlife; next life

Actually means:

There is a superstitious belief that, after dying, one is reborn into the world as another person.

It is often used to refer to something that cannot be realized in one's life.

指来世,即死了以后重新出生到世界上来(按照迷信的说法,人死后可以转生,成为另外一个人)。

多用来说明这一生不可能实现的事。
