jump the gun, 성급하게 행동하는 것

Good morning! Today's English expression‎ is:  jump the gun.  Jump the gun means to start doing something before the appropriate time.   Here is an example conversation:  Person A:  Why don't you offer Jane her promotion early?                   You know she'll complete the project up to your standards.  Why wait? Person B:  I don't want to jump the gun.  I'm going to wait and see the outcome of her project first.                   I don't want to make a decision before I have all of the information I need. Person A:  Oh, I guess you're right.  Better to wait and be sure.   오늘의 표현은: jump the gun     의미: 성급하게 행동하는 것 (적절한 시간전에 무언가를 시작하는 것) A:  Why don't you offer Jane her promotion early?       You know she'll complete the project up to your standards.  Why wait?            Jane 에게 일찍 승진을 제안하는 것이 어때? 너도 알잖아.            그녀는 그 프로젝트를 너의 기준이상으로 완성할거야. 왜 기다리는거야? B:  I don't want to jump the gun.  I'm going to wait and see the outcome of her project first.      I don't want to make a decision before I have all of the information I need.           난 성급하게 시작하고 싶지 않아. 나는 기다려서, 그녀의 프로젝트의 결과를 먼저 보고 싶어.           난 내가 필요한 모든 정보를 가지기 전에 어떤 결정을 하고 싶지 않아. A:  Oh, I guess you're right.  Better to wait and be sure.            그래. 네가 맞는것 같기도 해. 기다려서 확실히 하는것이 더 좋을 것 같아.   The literal meaning of 'jump the gun' comes from this:  beginning to run a race before the gun that signals the start of the race is shot.
