【情景再现】


Catherine在公司表现优秀,很受老板赏识。在周一例会上,Catherien大胆提出公司可以在非洲国家开拓市场的想法,并希望公司能够迅速付诸实施。而公司老板却摇了摇头说:Don't jump the gun.


Don't jump the gun. 不要草率行事。


gun指“枪,手枪”,jump the gun本义为“抢跑”。这个说法源于赛跑时,有些运动员在信号枪响之前就提前跑了,即过早采取了行动。所以jump the gun现在引申为“行动过早,操之过急”的意思。如果你碰到同事有什么新想法要急于实施时,你就可以提醒他说:Don't jump the gun。


【英语情景剧】




Benjamin: Sir, I think we can run a few chain stores in African countries.

本杰明:老板,我认为我们可以在非洲国家经营一些连锁店。


Todd: Don't jump the gun. We need a further discussion.

托德:不要草率行事,我们还需要作进一步讨论。
