口语：“普通人”

　　口语：普通人

　　Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是Jimmy要问的：普通人。

　　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 from Cambridge, 你就是精英啦!

　　Jimmy: 哪里!我也就一普通人，ordinary person!

　　Jessica: Hmmm...I wouldnt 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: Thats right. I think its because the name Joe is very common in 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! thats a very vivid expression. We have a similar phrase in English. You can say youre 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 is unusual.

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

　　Jessica: Thats right. Now lets see what youve learned today!
