A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
平均
Average
I didn't do very well at school, and I suppose I've always had this sense, you know that, of being average, so I've been a bit low on self-confidence in my ability.
我在学校成绩不太好,我想我一直有一种感觉,你知道的,就是平庸,所以我对自己的能力有点缺乏自信。
When something really bad is going on in a culture, the average guy doesn't see it. He can't. He's average and is surrounded by and immersed in the cant and discourse of the status quo.
当一种文化中发生了非常糟糕的事情时,一般人不会察觉。他不能。他是一个平庸的人,被现状的空洞和话语所包围和淹没。
I probably have a higher opinion of my writing than the average person, at least when I'm in a good mood, but I don't really think of my plays as only being relevant to a particular month or year.
我对自己写作的评价可能比一般人要高,至少在我心情好的时候是这样,但我并不认为我的剧本只与某个特定的月份或年份有关。
They flooded liquidity in the marketplace but the mortgage rate is based much more on expectations of inflation. So if the average investor believes that there is inflation coming, they'll move that rate up.

I used to break a lot of clubs. I probably was a little different than your average junior player. I did have a lot longer hair and a lot more brown hair. But my demeanor, you know, really from maybe my second, third year on Tour, has gotten a lot more even keel.
我过去经常打破很多俱乐部。我可能和一般的青少年球员有点不同。我的头发确实长了很多,棕色的头发也多了很多。但是我的风度,你知道,真的,从我巡演的第二、第三年开始,变得更加平稳。
Well, the average person comes home from work really tired, and just wants to flip through channels until they land on the thing that's the least objectionable to them. They're not looking for their new favorite TV show because they know that that search will take forever and they'll go to bed unhappy.
一般人下班回家都很累,只想看看电视,直到找到最不讨厌的节目。他们并不是在寻找他们最喜欢的电视节目,因为他们知道这样的寻找会永远持续下去,他们会不开心地上床睡觉。
