英语词汇look before you leap的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

look before you leap. The old saying is often said to be from Samuel Butler’s Hudibras (1663): “And look before you ere you leap; / For as you sow, ye are like to reap.” But John Heywood’s collection of proverbs (1562) clearly takes precedence with look ere you leape. There are a good number of counterparts in other languages: Turn the tongue seven times, then speak (French); Have an umbrella before getting wet (Japanese); Before you drink the soup, blow on it (Arabic); First weigh (the consequences), then dare (German); If you don’t know the ford, don’t cross the stream (Russian); Be careful bending your head, you may break it (Italian).
