Jump the Gun
今天要学的习语就是歌名jump the gun了。
jump the gun
to start before the starting signal. (Originally used in sports contests that are started by firing a gun.) 在信号之前开始，原本呢，是指赛跑的时候，在枪响之前就抢跑。
引申意：
to do something before it should be done 在某事该做之前就做了某事
to do something too soon, especially without thinking carefully about it 过早地做某事， 甚至没有深思熟虑过
那么，回到这首歌里。
Don't make me jump the gun
不要催我了
Can't convince me that you are the one
你还不能让我相信你就是唯一
Don't make me jump the gun
不要催促我
I'm not ready to be on the run
我还没准备好
歌里的用法是：Make somebody jump the gun... 催促某人
其他用法例句：
They've only just met - isn't it jumping the gun to be talking about marriage already? 他们才刚认识，现在就开始谈婚论嫁是不是操之过急了？
You just met the girl - isn't it jumping the gun to try to get into her paints already? 你才刚认识那个妹子，是不是操之过急了？（信达雅有木有！？）
