美国的成语或俗语和其他语言一样同生活中的各个方面有关.有一些和食品有关,有的来自扑克牌游戏,还有的和穿着有联系.今天我们要讲的习惯用语是和手套有关系的,那就是“The shoe is on the other foot”.The shoe is on the other foot的意思是:形势已经完全不同了.来看下面这个例子.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.以前在学校里念书的时候,我们老是笑话琼斯,认为他这个人老是念书,可是,现在情况就完全不同了.他赚了不少钱,而我们这些人的收入只够维持家计而已."下面的一个例子是一个球迷在夸耀当地的棒球队: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.我们老虎球队十年前是参加联赛的所有球队中最次的一个,比赛结果老是最后一名.现在可不同了.我们球队的队员都很年轻,球艺也好.他们把其他球队一个个全打败了.
