2.The shoe is on the other foot. 形勢已經完全不同
例如:
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。
以前在學校里念書的時候,我們老是笑話瓊斯,認為他這個人老是念書,不會玩。可是,現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。
