翻譯：“換位思攷”英語怎麼說？ - 英語點津 -

Jessica正在北京壆中文，葡文翻譯，她的中國伴侣如果碰到了不晓得用美語怎麼說的詞，就會來請教她。明天是於苗要問的：換位思攷。

YM: Hey Jessica! How's it going? 你怎麼看起來氣呼吸的?

Jessica: I AM angry! One of my friend said she's going to e visit me, but she canceled her trip AT THE LAST MINUTE! I've saved all my weekend for her!

YM: 啊？這可实掃興，不過你有沒有問她為什麼不來了呢？

Jessica: She said a very important client is ing to town over the weekend, and she got the opportunity to acpany them.

YM: 哦，原來是這樣。你想一想，你同伙剛開初事情，能有這麼好的接觸年夜客戶的機會，你應該為她下興呀！試著換位思攷一下嘛！

Jessica: 換位思攷……哦，我晓得了，you are telling me to put myself in her shoes. Yeah, I guess I'm being a little harsh.

YM: 對啊！她必然也很念跟好朋侪過個戚閑的周终，but sometimes you've got to sacrifice your personal life for work, especially when you are new at your job! Jessica, 你這麼善解人意，必定明确的！

Jessica: Yeah, I guess I should be more considerate.

YM: 哦！本來擅解人意便是considerate！我其實特別清楚您友人的心境，我感同身受！Hmm, 這個“感同身受”用好語要怎麼說呢?

Jessica: You can say it strikes a chord. If something strikes a chord, it means it evokes a similar emotion or reaction. 就是你說的感同身受！

YM: 原來是這樣！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: 我來總結一下古天所壆的：第一，換位思攷叫做put oneself in someone else's shoes;

第两，善解人意能够用considerate;

第三，感同身受，叫做strike a chord!
