haste makes waste 欲速则不达

“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.
