英语情景对话:普通人英语怎么说?Jessica在北京学汉语,她的遥朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词,就会来请教她。
遥是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 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 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!
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,他就遥,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 the crowd;不同寻常则叫stand out from the crowd!
