Ordinary folk:平民,老百姓
當?shù)貢r間11月18日,美國第12個總統(tǒng)圖書館--克林頓圖書館正式向公眾開放,克林頓政府要員、前總統(tǒng)老布什和現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)小布什、演藝明星等人前往捧場。盡管天降大雨,還是有大約3萬人出席了儀式。外電報道如下:Bill Clinton, America's first baby boomer president, opened his library Thursday with a rock 'n' roll gala that hailed the $165 million glass-and-steel museum as "a gift to the future by a man who always believed in the future."
Despite a steady, bone-chilling rain, nearly 30,000 people joined a celebration that included tributes from President Bush, his father and former President Carter. Rock stars Bono and The Edge of the band U2 performed a three-song set before Clinton spoke to a crowd that included dignitaries and ordinary folk. Poetry and gospel singing added a down-home flavor.
Ordinary folk表示“平民,老百姓”,和達官貴人(dignitary)相對應(yīng)。Folk除了“人們,人民;民族”的宏大含義外,還表示“家人,親屬,父母,朋友”,例如:I'd like you to meet my folks.(我想要你見見我的父母/家人。)The old folk sat and talked.(老人坐下來說話。)Well folks, shall we go?(喂,朋友,我們出去嗎?)
