________________________________________________________________
One day, an average Joe was walking down the street. An average Joe is a common person – either male or female.  This average Joe was lost. He did not know Jack about where he was going. By this, I mean he did not know anything about where to find things in the city.
有一天,有个人(an average Joe)走在大街上。An average Joe是指一个普通人,不论男女都适用。这个人迷路了。他不知道该怎么走(did not know Jack about)。我的意思是说他不知道在城里怎么找到他想要找的东西。
So average Joe asked John Q. Public for directions to the nearest bank. John Q. Public is also a common person – male or female.
所以他问John Q. Public怎么去最近的银行,John Q. Public也是个普通的人名,男女都适用。


注释:
a cup of Joe 一杯咖啡
an average Joe 指普通人
do not know Jack about 对...一无所知
John Q. Public 指普通人
