地道英語口語:“平頭百姓”英文怎麼說？
Jessica: Jimmy! I heard you got the scholarship from Cambridge University!你真厲害啊!
Jimmy: 嘿嘿，沒什麼大不了的。
Jessica: But that scholarship is very hard to get. After you graduate fromCambridge, 你就是“精英”啦!
Jimmy: 哪裏!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，平頭百姓麼?
Jessica: That's right. I think it's because the name "Joe" is very commonin English, just like 張三李四 in Chinese.
Jimmy: 對，我就和張三李四一樣，你把我往人堆裏一放，就找不着啦!
Jessica: Haha! that's a very vivid expression. We have a similar phrase inEnglish. You can say you're "just another face in the crowd".
Jimmy: Just another face in the crowd?人羣中的.又一張臉?這個說法好，人海茫茫，你不過就是其中一個而已。對了，說了半天普通人，要是形容那些不同尋常的人，該怎麼說呢?
Jessica: You can use "stand out from the crowd" to describe someone who isunusual.
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”在美語裏叫“an average Joe”;還可以說just another face in thecrowd;不同尋常則叫stand out from the crowd!
