“工欲善其事，必先利其器”，出自《論語》，意思是工匠想要頂級地完成工作，必須先把工具弄的鋒利好用。比喻要做好一件事，準備工作是很重要得（In order to do something well, one needs to make preparations）。專業翻譯為“a workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well”。

例句：

工欲善其事，必先利其器。如果你想早點完成這份工作，你應該買一臺新得打印機了。

A workman must first sharpen his tools if he is to do his work well. If you want to finish the work earlier, you should buy a new printer.
