6.try to be clever only to end up with making a blunder; turn out to be a clumsy sleight of hand
事半功倍：1.yield [get] twice the result with half the effort;
2.By doing half the work,one will get double the result.;
3.get twofold results with half the effort; half the work with double results:事情要考虑周详以后再动手,才能够事半功倍.
