体验式英语教育先锋美联英语 地道美语表达：换位思考用英语怎么说 Jessica 在北京学中文，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词， 就会来请教她。今天是于苗要问的：换位思考。 YM: Hey Jessica! Hows it going? 你怎么看起来气呼呼的? Jessica: I AM angry! One of my friend said shes going to come visit me, but s he canceled her trip AT THE LAST MINUTE! Ive saved all my weekend for he r! YM: 啊？这可真扫兴，不过你有没有问她为什么不来了呢？ Jessica: She said a very important client is coming to town over the weekend, and she got the opportunity to accompany them. YM: 哦，原来是这样。你想想，你朋友刚开始工作，能有这么好的接触大客户的机会，你应该为她高兴呀！试着换位思考一下嘛！ Jessica: 换位思考……哦，我知道了， you are telling me to put myself in her shoes. Yeah, I guess Im being a little h arsh. YM: 对啊！她一定也很想跟好朋友过个休闲的周末， but sometimes youve got to sacrifice your personal life for work, especially wh en you are new at your job! Jessica, 你这么善解人意，一定明白的！ Jessica: Yeah, I guess I should be more considerate. YM: 哦！原来善解人意就是 considerate！我其实特别明白你朋友的心情， 我感同身受！Hmm, 这个“感同身受”用美语要怎么说呢? Jessica: You can say it strikes a chord. If something strikes a chord, it means i t evokes a similar emotion or reaction. 就是你说的感同身受！ YM: 原来是这样！Yes, your friends situation strikes a chord with me! Jessica: You know, Yumiao, I think you are right. I will call her and apologize f or overreacting, and I will wish her good luck! YM: 我来总结一下今天所学的：第一，换位思考叫做 put oneself in someone elses shoes; 第二，善解人意可以用 considerate; 第三，感同身受，叫做 strike a chord!
