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 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 the crowd；不同寻常则叫stand out from the crowd！
