Ordinary folk：平民，老百姓

當地時間11月18日，美國第12個總統圖書館--克林頓圖書館正式向公眾開放，克林頓政府要員、前總統老布什和現任總統小布什、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。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？）
