Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語(yǔ)，她的中國(guó)朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)的詞，就會(huì)來(lái)請(qǐng)教她。今天是Jimmy要問(wèn)的：普通人。
Jessica: Jimmy! I heard you got the scholarship from Cambridge University! 你真厲害啊！
Jimmy: 嘿嘿，沒(méi)什么大不了的。
Jessica: But that scholarship is very hard to get. After you graduate from Cambridge, 你就是“精英”啦！
Jimmy: 哪里！我也就一普通人，ordinary person!
Jessica: Hmmm...I wouldn't call a Cambridge graduate an average Joe.
Jimmy: An average Joe? An average Joe就是指普通人，平頭百姓么？
Jessica: That's right. I think it's because the name "Joe" is very common in English, just like 張三李四 in Chinese.
Jimmy: 對(duì)，我就和張三李四一樣，你把我往人堆里一放，就找不著啦！
Jessica: Haha! that's a very vivid expression. We have a similar phrase in English. You can say you're "just another face in the crowd".
Jimmy: Just another face in the crowd? 人群中的又一張臉？這個(gè)說(shuō)法好，人海茫茫，你不過(guò)就是其中一個(gè)而已。對(duì)了，說(shuō)了半天普通人，要是形容那些不同尋常的人，該怎么說(shuō)呢？
Jessica: You can use "stand out from the crowd" to describe someone who is unusual.
Jimmy: stand out from the crowd, 比別人都站得高，他就明顯，這就是不尋常！
Jessica: That's right. Now let's see what you've learned today!
Jimmy: “普通人”在美語(yǔ)里叫“an average Joe”；還可以說(shuō)just another face in the crowd；不同尋常則叫stand out from the crowd！ |
