你為何如此沮喪?

Luming : I flunked math.

我數(shù)學(xué)考試沒(méi)有及格。

Alice : If I were in your shoes, I'd not blue and find out the reason for failing in the exam.

如果我是你的話，我就不會(huì)沮喪，而是找到自己考試不及格的原因。

Luming : You were in my shoes? I bought it on the Internet. If you like it, I will get you one ,we two are who and who!

(你穿著我的鞋，心里暗暗納悶Alice是不是喜歡這雙鞋。)我這雙鞋是網(wǎng)購(gòu)的，如果你喜歡它的話，我就替你買(mǎi)一雙，我們倆還說(shuō)什么你我呀，誰(shuí)和誰(shuí)呀!

Alice : I am fully confused about what you said. What does that mean?

我完全被你搞暈了。你說(shuō)的話是什么意思呀?

陸明“暈”的地方是不知道in one's shoes的意思。而Alice則是“暈”在陸明的中文式英語(yǔ)——We are two who and who!

很多時(shí)候，我們?nèi)菀妆г苟鲆晫?duì)方的感受，造成很多的不愉快。這就需要經(jīng)常替對(duì)方想想，體會(huì)對(duì)方的難處和苦衷。那么替別人著想用英語(yǔ)怎么表達(dá)呢?就是這句“If you were be in my shoes”。意思是“如果我站在你的立場(chǎng)上”。它就是指出于對(duì)方的處境，站在對(duì)方的角度，為對(duì)方著想，也就是我們很熟悉的“換位思考”。

我們?cè)匍_(kāi)看幾個(gè)例子：

I would dump him if I were in your shoes.如果我是你的話，我會(huì)跟他散伙了。

If I were in your shoes, I would't do it that way.如果我是你的話，我不會(huì)那樣做的。

I would talk to him nicely instead of resign if I were in your shoes.如果我是你的話，我會(huì)跟他好好談?wù)劇?/p>

I'd never stay up late at night, if I were in your shoes.如果我處在你的地位，我就不會(huì)熬夜。

I would set up a company of my own if I were in your shoes.如果我是你的話，我會(huì)成立一個(gè)自己的公司。

“If I were in your shoes”意為：如果我是你的話。想想這個(gè)說(shuō)法還挺形象的，大家都習(xí)慣穿自己的鞋子，如果穿別人的鞋，就知道不舒服，走路有多難了。

If sb were in one's shoes，sb would do sth. 這句其實(shí)就是非真實(shí)條件虛擬句。表示一種不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的主觀愿望。條件句中謂語(yǔ)形式為were/was，主句中謂語(yǔ)形式為would加上動(dòng)詞原形。

我們中文中說(shuō)“我們倆還說(shuō)什么你我呀，誰(shuí)和誰(shuí)呀。”是表示兩人之間的關(guān)系很親密。像這樣的意思，我們中文中還會(huì)說(shuō)：“我倆是穿一條褲子長(zhǎng)大的。”“我們是狗肉。”那么，陸明就使用中文式樣的英語(yǔ)，Alice就是想破了頭也不知其意。陸明該這么說(shuō)：“Not a big deal, we are buddies.”(沒(méi)事兒，我們是好友呀。)
