迷你对话
A: Sir, I think we can ran a few chain stores in African countries.
老板,我认为我们可以在非洲国家经营一些连锁店。
B: Don’t jump the gun. We need a further discussion 1.
不要草率行事,我们还需要做进一步的讨论。
地道表达
jump the gun
1. 解词释义
Jump the gun中的gun是指“手枪”。其本意是“抢先跑步”,它源于赛跑时,有些运动员在信号枪声响之前就提前跑了,也就是说过早采取行动,现在引申为“行动过早,操之过急”。如果有什么新想法或新点子并且给予实施的话,就可以用这个短语了。
2. 拓展例句
e.g. Hey, don't jump the gun. Listen to what he has to say before you make a decision.
嗨,不要操之过急,在做决定之前听听他怎么说。
e.g. Don't jump the gun. She's in the driver's seat right now. You have to be patient.
别高兴得太早。现在还是她在作主。你得要沉得住气。
e.g. Whoa! Let's not jump the gun. This is only our first date.
哇!我们别这么早就打如意算盘。这才是我们第一次约会而已。
Ps :a chain store:连锁店 run a chain store:开一家连锁店,经营一家连锁店 a further discussion:进一步的讨论
n.讨论,谈论;论述
- It is certain he will come to the discussion.他肯定会来参加讨论。
