在英语中，“站在某人的立场上”就可以说成“穿上某人的鞋” in one's shoes. 下面我们就来学学这个表达吧：

If I were in your shoes,

I wouldn't do that.

如果我站在你的立场上，我不会这么做。

讲解

首先我们来看一个关键词，in sb's shoes, 这里不是真的说，穿另一个人的鞋子，它其实要表达的是，站在别人的立场上。比如：女生不要总是抱怨男生，也要站在他们的角度思考问题，就可以翻译成：You need to put yourself in your boyfriend's shoes once in a while.
这个句子里还有个虚拟语气，想表示“假如我是你”。如果我站在你的角度，但是我不可能真的变成你，所以这里就用虚拟语气表示一种假设性情况，用法是用过去式，所以句子是：If I were you, or if I were in your shoes, 后半句用过去式 would，I wouldn't do that. 再举个例子，如果我是亿万富翁，我就给听众朋友们一人送一辆车，If I were a billionaire, I would buy every our listener a car.

发音

句子不难，读音上，大家注意一个动词过去式，were 的发音就可以了，不要读成where，不是 er，而是/ɚ/，were.

重点拓展
