"Measure twice, cut once" = đo hai lần, cắt một lần -> nghĩa là phải cận thận ở những bước đầu để tránh các rắc rối sau này.

Ví dụ
The price tag here at the train station much less than that, this reconstruction (xây dựng lại) is costing you $65,000, but at a time when every dollar counts, that's an expensive reminder (nhắc nhở) that an old adage (câu ngạn ngữ cổ) is still true -- measure twice, cut once.

You know the old saying, "measure twice, cut once"? Well, it's especially true of kitchen renovations (làm mới). Make sure you know exactly how much clearance you need around appliances (thiết bị) and – just as importantly – make sure they'll fit through the front door!

"Usually the saying is measure twice, cut once, but here we’re measuring twice and spraying once,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that it was drawn to scale (theo tỉ lệ). I did as much as I could from my side all the way to the property line. I got all 50 stars in there, 13 stripes (sọc)."
