“欲速则不达”,出自《论语》(The Analects of Confucius),意思是“过于性急图快,反而不能达到目的(The faster one tried to finish, the longer it seemed to take him.)”,可以译为“more haste, less speed”。

与英文习语“haste makes waste”意思相近,表示“rushing through a task often creates problems or extra work”。


例句:


欲速则不达,你得一步一步地干。
Haste makes waste. You have got to do it step by step.


A: 赶紧把我的车修好。
A: Hurry up and get my car fixed.

B: 别催我了,欲速则不达。
B: Don't rush me. Haste makes waste.
