Jessica在北京學中文，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是于苗要問的：換位思考。
YM: Hey Jessica! How's it going? 你怎么看起來氣呼呼的?
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: 啊？這可真掃興，不過你有沒有問她為什么不來了呢？
Jessica: She said a very important client is coming to town over the weekend, and she got the opportunity to accompany them.
YM: 哦，原來是這樣。你想想，你朋友剛開始工作，能有這么好的接觸大客戶的機會，你應該為她高興呀！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: 對啊！她一定也很想跟好朋友過個休閑的周末，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！原來善解人意就是considerate！我其實特別明白你朋友的心情，我感同身受！Hmm, 這個“感同身受”用美語要怎么說呢?
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: 我來總結一下今天所學的：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!
