YM: Hey Jessica! How's it going? 你怎么看起来气呼呼的？
Jessica: 　　　　　1　　　　　
YM: 啊？这可真扫兴，不过你有没有问她，为什么不来了呢？
Jessica: 　　　　　2　　　　　
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。　　　　　3　　　　　
YM: 对啊，她一定也很想跟好朋友过个休闲的周末。　　　　　4　　　　　 Jessica, 你这么善解人意，一定明白的。
Jessica: Yeah. 　　　　　5　　　　　
YM: 哦，原来善解人意就是 considerate. 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. Strike is spelled s-t-r-i-k-e; and chord, c-h-o-r-d, chord. 　　　　　6　　　　　 就是你说的感同身受。
YM: 原来是这样! 　　　　　7　　　　　
Jessica: You know, Yumiao, I think you are right. 　　　　　8　　　　　
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 considerate;
第三，感同身受，叫做 strike a chord!

I am angry. One of my friends said she's going to come visit me, but she canceled her trip at the last minute. I've saved my entire weekend for her.
She said a very important client is coming to town over the weekend, and she got the opportunity to accompany them.
You're telling me to put myself in her shoes. Yeah, I guess I'm being a little harsh.
But sometimes you've got to sacrifice your personal life for work, especially when you're new at your job.
I guess I should be more considerate.
If something strikes a chord, it means it evokes a similar emotion or reaction.
Yes, your friend's situation strikes a chord with me.
I'll call her and apologize for overreacting, and I'll wish her good luck.YM: Hey Jessica! How's it going? 你怎么看起来气呼呼的？
