美國的成語或俗語和其他語言一樣同生活中的各個方面有關(guān)。有一些和食品有關(guān)，有的來自撲克牌游戲，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：形勢已經(jīng)完全不同了。來看下面這個例子。
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)校里念書的時候，我們老是笑話瓊斯，認(rèn)為他這個人老是念書，不會玩。可是，現(xiàn)在情況就完全不同了。他賺了不少錢，而我們這些人的收入只夠維持家計而已。"
下面的一個例子是一個球迷在夸耀當(dāng)?shù)氐陌羟蜿牐?BR> 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.
我們老虎球隊十年前是參加聯(lián)賽的所有球隊中最次的一個，比賽結(jié)果老是最后一名?，F(xiàn)在可不同了。我們球隊的隊員都很年輕，球藝也好。他們把其他球隊一個個全打敗了。
