Jessica: Jimmy! 　　　　　1　　　　　 你真厉害啊!
Jimmy: 嘿嘿，没什么大不了的。
Jessica: 　　　　　2　　　　　 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.... 　　　　　3　　　　　
Jimmy: An average Joe? 我知道 average, a-v-e-r-a-g-e, average 是普通，平均的意思，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! 　　　　4　　　　　　
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: 　　　　　5　　　　　
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!
