那天和我家男神瞎扯用了一个好玩又实用的proverb和大家分享
Don’t count your chickens before
they hatch--话别说的太早! 在等待机会的时候,
最后的结果充满变数--“鸡蛋还没孵出来的时候期望的太早”
英文中用Don't count your chickens来表示
其中before they are hatched在口语中经常省略。
男神:My boss says I'm getting a raise,so I'm going to buy a new car with the money.
我: I'm happy for you, but has the money actually landed in your bank account?
男神: Well, not exactly.
我: Don't count your chickens before they hatched.
