鞋子（穿在腳上的）

something you wear to cover and protect your foot, often made of leather or strong cloth

鞋子

別人的鞋 → 處境與位置

in someone's shoes · noun · A1

used in phrases to mean being in someone else's situation, especially a difficult one

處境 / 立場

蹄鐵 → 給馬的「鞋」

核心比較像「保護腳的一層殼」，把這個概念套到馬腳上就成了蹄鐵：馬也需要一雙「鞋」來護住蹄底，只是這雙是彎彎的鐵片。

horseshoe · noun · A1

a curved piece of metal that is nailed onto the bottom of a horse's foot to protect it

馬蹄鐵 / 蹄鐵
