Cách sử dụng
The expression "jump the gun" means to take action or make a decision too early, before the appropriate time. It is often used to describe someone who rushes to do something without taking the necessary precautions or considering all the factors that could impact the situation. For example, if a student starts celebrating a good grade before checking if it was actually their own test score, they would be said to have "jumped the gun." Another example could be a company announcing a new product before it has been fully developed and tested, which would be considered jumping the gun. The expression can be used in both formal and informal settings and is commonly used in conversation and writing. It is important to be careful that jumping the gun does not lead to negative consequences, such as making a mistake that could have been avoided by waiting for more information.
