托福词汇之如何表达先斩后奏

2015-04-22来源:互联网

  “先斩后奏”有很多灵活的表达,比如:move first and askpermission later;或者do first and askforgiveness later;还有act first and report later。总之,结构就是...first,and...later。

  对于利益优先的公司来说,“先斩后奏”也不无道理,因为有句老话是这么说的嘛:It's easier to ask for forgivenessthan permission.(请求原谅比征求许可容易。)

  For example:

  The company has become a magnet for criticism of its business style ofmoving first and askingpermission later.

  这家公司因其先斩后奏的商业模式引来无数批评。

  In March he ordered soldiers to "shoot first and report later" ifattacked.

  三月,他要求士兵,如果受到攻击可以先斩后奏。
