设想从某人的处境看会有怎样的感受。

常强调该人的感受或意见。
Examples
- 子どもにすれば、親の小言はうるさいだけなのだろう。From a child's point of view, parents' nagging is probably just annoying.对孩子来说,父母的唠叨大概只是烦人吧。
- 毎日遅くまで残業させられる社員にしたら、たまったものではない。For employees made to work late every day, it's unbearable.对每天被迫加班到很晚的员工来说,实在受不了。
Notes
Imagines how things feel from another person's position (usually not the speaker's). Unlike 〜にとって, it focuses on that person's feelings or opinion.
