Man 2: What happened was that he was so sure that he would get the job that he quit his old job. Unfortunately, he really jumped the gun. He just found out yesterday he didn’t get the job after all.

Yang Li: 以上两个例子：一个是在没有听别人解释之前就大喊大叫。另一个是新工作没到手，就把老工作给辞了，这在汉语里就是操之过急或过早采取行动了。

William: It can be very embarrassing if you jump the gun. I did it once before but hopefully never again.

Yang Li: Well, I am too slow to jump the gun, so that’s not a problem for me. But is there a phrase for that in English, Will?

William: Well, yes, there is, but I don’t think I’m going to tell you.

Yang Li: Oh, please, tell me…

William: No, no.

Yang Li: Oh, please.

William: Maybe, next time?

Yang Li: Are you not going to tell me?

William: No, I am not going to tell you.

Yang Li: I’ve got this gun… I am going to gun you down if you don’t…

William: No… no.

Yang Li: Are you going to or not? Yes or no?

William: No.
