Feifei: 大家好,欢迎收听《The English We Speak》。今天我们将学习一个短语,它可以帮助大家更好地理解和运用地道的英语表达。希望通过我们的节目,大家能够学到更多实用的英语知识。 Phil: 我最近升职了,要接替老板的位置,也就是要“step into his shoes”。这个短语的意思是承担某人的角色和责任,通常与准备好承担责任有关。如果说你已准备好 “step into those shoes”,那就意味着你已经做好了充分的准备来承担这项责任。此外,当某人难以被替代时,我们也会用到这个表达。例如,很难找到能接替老板职位的人,就可以说 “it's going to be difficult to find someone who can step into the boss's shoes”。
