英语口语:“平头百姓”

地道英语口语:“平头百姓”英文怎么说？

Jessica: Jimmy! I heard you got the scholarship from Cambridge University!你真厉害啊!

Jimmy: 嘿嘿，没什么大不了的。

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，平头百姓么?

Jessica: That's right. I think it's because the name "Joe" is very commonin English, just like 张三李四 in Chinese.

Jimmy: 对，我就和张三李四一样，你把我往人堆里一放，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?人群中的.又一张脸?这个说法好，人海茫茫，你不过就是其中一个而已。对了，说了半天普通人，要是形容那些不同寻常的人，该怎么说呢?

Jessica: You can use "stand out from the crowd" to describe someone who isunusual.

Jimmy: stand out from the crowd, 比别人都站得高，他就明显，这就是不寻常!

Jessica: That's right. Now let's see what you've learned today!

Jimmy: “普通人”在美语里叫“an average Joe”;还可以说just another face in thecrowd;不同寻常则叫stand out from the crowd!
