Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. The result of the examination has not come out.
话别说得太早,考试结果还没出来呢。
这个说法最早来源于《伊索寓言》(Aesop's Fables)。有个女孩拿了一桶牛奶去集市卖,她想着先把牛奶做成奶油,这样可以多卖一点钱买鸡蛋,买完鸡蛋就可以孵化小鸡,然后把小鸡卖了买新衣服。结果她把牛奶打翻了,于是她妈妈就对她说了这句话,就是话不要说太早的意思。

Kevin:Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.
话不要说得太早啊。
Rose:Why?I have much confidence of myself.
为什么?我对自己很有信心。
