1. 1

    Premature means happening or done before the right or expected time — too early. It's most often used for a baby born premature, before it was fully ready, earlier than 9 months, but it's also used for anything done too soon, like celebrating before you've actually won, or a decision made before you have all the facts.

    早產的(嬰兒);過早的、倉促的(決定、行動)
