act first and report later 先斩后奏

18

“先斩后奏”有很多灵活的表达,比如:move first and ask permission later;或者do first and ask forgiveness later;还有act first and report later。总之,结构就是...first, and...later。

对于利益优先的公司来说,“先斩后奏”也不无道理,因为有句老话是这么说的嘛:It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.(请求原谅比征求许可容易。)

For example:

The company has become a magnet for criticism of its business style of moving first and asking permission later.

这家公司因其先斩后奏的商业模式引来无数批评。

In March he ordered soldiers to "shoot first and report later" if attacked.

三月,他要求士兵,如果受到攻击可以先斩后奏。
