例子

一）My colleague really wants a promotion. He is so annoying. He often steps on my toes at work by doing my work for me, and then brags to the boss about how effective he is.

二）I do not agree with the grade that my teacher gave me. My mother suggests that I should talk to our school head-master, but I do not think that is a good idea. It is unwise to step on your teacher’s toes. After all, I will take more tests this year in her class, and if she is upset with me, then I will have more problems.

三）I love playing basketball. However, this year our school team has a new player who thinks that he is Michael Jordon. He never shares the ball, and he tries to play every position on the court. He is always stepping on his teammates’ toes（在这个例子里，这个短语是一个双关，很好玩。）.
