「計畫趕不上變化」的英文

"The best laid plans"

例如: I was hoping to go away this weekend, but it looks like it's going to rain again. The best laid plans, hey?

(我這個週末本來想出去玩，可是好像又要下雨了，計畫總是趕不上變化，對吧!)

解釋:

完整的片語為The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry，可是在口語中通常會縮短成"The best laid plans"，根據Dictionary.com的定義，此片語的意思如下: No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may still go wrong with it. (無論計劃多麼週到詳細，都還是有可能會辦不成)。該片語來自18世紀一首詩(詩名: "寫給老鼠")的詩詞。
