jessica在北京學(xué)中文，她的中國(guó)朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)的詞，就會(huì)來(lái)請(qǐng)教她。今天是于苗要問(wèn)的：換位思考。

在我們的生活中，往往會(huì)遇見(jiàn)一些難辦的事情，如果你換位思考以下，就不會(huì)那么糟糕了。

　　ym: hey jessica! how’s it going? 你怎么看起來(lái)氣呼呼的?
　　jessica: i am angry! one of my friend said she’s going to come visit me, but she canceled her trip at the last minute! i’ve saved all my weekend for her!
　　ym: ��？這可真掃興，不過(guò)你有沒(méi)有問(wèn)她為什么不來(lái)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，原來(lái)是這樣。你想想，你朋友剛開(kāi)始工作，能有這么好的接觸大客戶的機(jī)會(huì)，你應(yīng)該為她高興呀！試著換位思考一下嘛！
　　jessica: 換位思考……哦，我知道了，you are telling me to put myself in her shoes. yeah, i guess i’m being a little harsh.
　　ym: 對(duì)啊！她一定也很想跟好朋友過(guò)個(gè)休閑的周末，but sometimes you’ve got to sacrifice your personal life for work, especially when you are new at your job! jessica, 你這么善解人意，一定明白的！ 　
　　jessica: yeah, i guess i should be more considerate.
　　ym: 哦！原來(lái)善解人意就是considerate！我其實(shí)特別明白你朋友的心情，我感同身受！hmm, 這個(gè)“感同身受”用美語(yǔ)要怎么說(shuō)呢?
　　jessica: you can say it strikes a chord. if something strikes a chord, it means it evokes a similar emotion or reaction. 就是你說(shuō)的感同身受！
　　ym: 原來(lái)是這樣！yes, your friend’s situation strikes a chord with me!
　　jessica: you know, yumiao, i think you are right. i will call her and apologize for overreacting, and i will wish her good luck!
　　ym: 我來(lái)總結(jié)一下今天所學(xué)的：第一，換位思考叫做put oneself in someone else’s shoes;
　　第二，善解人意可以用considerate;
　　第三，感同身受，叫做strike a chord!
