当长辈规劝晚辈做事要考虑后果,不可冲动,以免造成不可挽回的损失时,常常说要“三思而后行”。

“三思而后行”,出自《论语》,意思是“多次思考再行动(think twice before you do)”,形容做事谨慎,小心稳妥。与英文谚语“look before you leap”意思相近,表示“carefully consider the possible consequences before taking action”。

  • 如果你现在欺骗你的老板,你认为一旦他发现后会发生什么?我想说,三思而后行!
    If you deceive your boss now, what do you think will happen if he finds out about it? I mean, look before you leap!
  • 我不是说你不应该签那套公寓的租约。我只是说你应该三思而后行。
    I’m not saying you shouldn’t sign the lease for that apartment. I’m just saying you should look before you leap.

你的评论可以尖锐,也可以湿疣!
