花些时间考虑一下这个问题吧!这是一个重大的决定,你不想仓促行事吧。

今天的谚语:
The chief difference between words and deeds is that words are always intended for men for their approbation, but deeds can be done only for God.
—— Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910)

答案详解:
take time (to do) 不急不忙(做某事)

When someone takes time to do something, it means he/she is doing it in no hurry.  take time意为花费时间、不急不忙从容地做某事。
 
Examples:
Let's take our time to savour the delicious dishes. 让我们尽情享受美味的菜肴吧。
Take you time to think about it─this is a big decision, and you don't want to rush into it.  花些时间考虑一下这个问题吧──这是一个重大的决定,你不想仓促行事吧。
