Run-of-the-mill 普通的
    2019-11-14  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

在美国,14岁的孩子往往刚上高中,可能在努力加入校篮球队或者准备学校戏剧演出的面试。不过华裔女生Kara Fan可不是什么普通孩子,她发明的液体创可贴让她获得了一项全国性的少年科学家竞赛。请看本报昨日的报道:

An average American 14-year-old has just started his or her freshman year in high school. They might be trying out for their school basketball team for winter sports or they could be auditioning for the school play.

But Kara Fan is not the run-of-the-mill 14-year-old. She is America’s Top Young Scientist.

To win that claim, Fan’s nano-particle liquid bandage had to surpass the experiments of hundreds of fifth to eighth graders as well as nine other finalists.

报道中的run-of-the-mill就是“普通的”,本意指“工厂大量生产出来的产品、未经检验分级”。例如:

It was a run-of-the-mill action movie — fine to kill a couple hours, but nothing special.

这是一部普通动作片,可以消磨点时间但没什么特别。
