"If it ain’t broke, fix it till it is" = nếu chưa hỏng thì cứ sửa cho đến khi nó hỏng -> câu nói mỉa mai/châm biếm nhằm ngăn cản cái gì đang trong tình trạng hoàn hảo khỏi bị làm hỏng do ai đó nghịch ngợm/can thiệp quá nhiều.
Ví dụ
Now the thought is to put more LED lights up and hang them like the “old-style” lights. All of this, of course, without public input. It reminds me of the adage: “If it ain't broke, don't fix it,” except in this case it's, “if it ain't broke, fix it till it is!”
A sign (biển hiệu) hangs in Tom Hill's cubbyhole (căn phòng nhỏ) office at Key Largo Fisheries: "U.S. Government Philosophy: If it ain't broke, fix it till it is." That sums up the commercial fisherman's view of the Park Service's proposals to end commercial fishing in Biscayne National Park. He grew up in the Florida Keys, helping his father fish when the area was still a frontier to be explored.
I agree Neal. Deno is right. A classic case (trường hợp) of government dysfunction and over reach: "if it ain't broke fix it till it is" Just classic!
