美國(guó)的成語(yǔ)或俗語(yǔ)和其他語(yǔ)言一樣同生活中的各個(gè)方面有關(guān)。有一些和食品有關(guān)，有的來(lái)自撲克牌游戲，還有的和穿著有聯(lián)系。今天我們要講的習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)是和手套有關(guān)系的，那就是“The shoe is on the other foot”。
The shoe is on the other foot的意思是：形勢(shì)已經(jīng)完全不同了。來(lái)看下面這個(gè)例子。
Back in school we made fun of Jones because we thought he spent too much time studying instead of having fun. Now the shoe is on the other foot -- he's made lots of money and the rest of us are just barely making enough to feed our families.
以前在學(xué)校里念書(shū)的時(shí)候，我們老是笑話瓊斯，認(rèn)為他這個(gè)人老是念書(shū)，不會(huì)玩?？墒牵F(xiàn)在情況就完全不同了。他賺了不少錢(qián)，而我們這些人的收入只夠維持家計(jì)而已。"
下面的一個(gè)例子是一個(gè)球迷在夸耀當(dāng)?shù)氐陌羟蜿?duì)：
For the last ten years the Tigers have been the worst team in the league: we've finished down at the bottom. But now the shoe is on the other foot: we have all these good young players and we're beating everybody else in the whole league.
我們老虎球隊(duì)十年前是參加聯(lián)賽的所有球隊(duì)中最次的一個(gè)，比賽結(jié)果老是最后一名?，F(xiàn)在可不同了。我們球隊(duì)的隊(duì)員都很年輕，球藝也好。他們把其他球隊(duì)一個(gè)個(gè)全打敗了。
