[交流] 情景对话:“换位思考”英语怎么说? 已有4人参与

原文地址:http://site.douban.com/widget/notes/7032297/note/229637841/

Jessica在北京学中文,她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词,就会来请教她。今天是于苗要问的:换位思考。

YM: Hey Jessica! How's it going? 你怎么看起来气呼呼的?

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?这可真扫兴,不过你有没有问她为什么不来了呢?

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

YM: 哦,原来是这样。你想想,你朋友刚开始工作,能有这么好的接触大客户的机会,你应该为她高兴呀!试着换位思考一下嘛!

Jessica: 换位思考……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: 对啊!她一定也很想跟好朋友过个休闲的周末,but sometimes you've got to sacrifice your personal life for work, especially when you are new at your job! Jessica, 你这么善解人意,一定明白的!

Jessica: Yeah, I guess I should be more con siderate.

YM: 哦!原来善解人意就是con siderate!我其实特别明白你朋友的心情,我感同身受!Hmm, 这个“感同身受”用美语要怎么说呢?

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

YM: 原来是这样!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: 我来总结一下今天所学的:第一,换位思考叫做put oneself in someone else's shoes;

第二,善解人意可以用con siderate;

第三,感同身受,叫做strike a chord!

there is a more formal term referring to this action: Empathy

Definition is cited from Oxford Online Dictionary:

Empathy     noun.
the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
Study is an one-way trip
