Jessica在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是Jimmy要問的：普通人。

Jessica: Jimmy! I heard you got the scholarship from Cambridge University! 你真厲害?。?/p>

Jimmy: 嘿嘿，沒什么大不了的。

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，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，該怎么說呢？

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”在美語里叫“an average Joe”；還可以說just another face in the crowd；不同尋常則叫stand out from the crowd！
