To take turns doing something in English is to "take turns" or "take it in turns." This phrase comes from the idea of each person moving or progressing in a circular or cyclical manner. For example, if a group of friends are playing a game, they might take turns taking their turn.

Here are some examples of this phrase in use:

"We took turns driving to the party so that no one would have to do all the driving." (我们轮流开车去参加聚会，这样就不会有人非要开车了。)

"The students took turns presenting their projects to the class." (学生们轮流向全班展示他们的项目。)

"The siblings took it in turns to do the dishes after dinner." (兄弟姐妹们晚餐后轮流洗碗。)
