凱瑟琳升職記:提建議之我要是你的話...

【情景再現】

ing-bottom: 133.33%;">

Tom在公司已經兩年了，剛進公司時主管就承諾，先從基層做起，幹得好一般半年就可以升值。他工作兢兢業業，業績可嘉，但直到現在薪水各方面沒有任何改觀。一位美國朋友得知後就建議說：If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for another job instead of staying here.

【小編的小喇叭】

If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for another job. 如果我是你，我就換工作了。

in one's shoes是習語，字面義爲“穿某人的鞋子”，引申義即：在某人的立場上，站在某人的角度看問題。比如當與朋友或家人有些意見不合，或是對事情的理解發生分歧時，不妨對他們說：If you were in my shoes, what would you do?（要換做你，你會怎麼做？）

【英語情景劇】

Tom: I have been working here for two years, and I've been doing well. But no promotion, no salary raise.
湯姆：我在這工作兩年了，做得一直很好。但既沒有升值也沒有加薪。

Shirley: Well, that's something worth considering. If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for another job.
雪莉：哎，是個值得考慮的問題。我要是你就早換工作了。
