意味
To act too early or anticipate unnecessarily.
文化的背景
In Russian offices, hierarchy and 'the process' are often very rigid. Using this phrase is a common way for senior managers to maintain control over enthusiastic but inexperienced staff. The phrase gained massive popularity during the Soviet era when 'The Train of Progress' was a common propaganda motif. It served as a warning that one cannot outpace the planned economy. There is a cultural thread of 'everything has its time'. This idiom reinforces the idea that trying to force the future is not just unwise, but potentially dangerous. Russian journalists use this phrase constantly to criticize politicians who make promises they can't keep or announce laws that haven't been passed.
