put the cart before the horse：把马拉的车放在马的前面

看到一篇文章，里面写到倾向偏右的人们觉得默克尔的难民政策是“put the cart before the horse”。这个习语字面上的意思是“把马拉的车放在马的前面”，也就是没有按照正确的次序做事情，把事情搞复杂了。

put the cart before the horse: to have things in the wrong order; to have things confused and mixed up. (也可以用 have the cart before the horse)

原句如下：A huge number of people on the right believe she （指默娘） put the cart before the horse in welcoming over a million refugees into the country without the requisite infrastructure already being in place.
