實用口語輔導:“大眾臉”用英語怎麼表達

Meet Miss Average from around the world as computer works out the most common face in each country -- More than 100 women of 41 different nationalities and ethnicities were photographed in cities all over the world in an effort to find common regional features.

攝影師拍數千照片,合成世界各地女性大眾臉——在尋找不同地區“大眾臉”的活動中,攝影師分別在全球41個不同國家和地區拍攝了100位女性的照片。

上面報道中的Miss Average就是指“女性大眾臉”,所謂“大眾臉”也就是具有某地區人們長相共同特徵的臉龐。不過,很多人都覺得大眾臉是“長相平庸”的另一種說法,因此不會把這種稱呼當作讚美。相比之下,人們更喜歡聽到別人說自己是celebrity look-alike(明星臉)。

Average和plain這個詞一樣通常用來表示“平均的、普通的”,例如average Joe/plain Jane都表示各方面都一般,不怎麼出眾的“普通人”;而如果在average前面加上above或者below則分別表示“高於”或“低於”一般水平,例如:His grade is above average.(他的成績屬於中等偏上水平。)
