At that moment, Joe Blow was walking down the street with a woman. Joe Blow is also an expression for a common man. Now this Joe Blow was NOT walking next to a plain Jane. A plain Jane is a woman who is neither ugly nor pretty. She is simply plain. No, the woman with Joe Blow was a real Sheila – a beautiful woman.
这时候,一名男子(Joe Blow)和一名妇女从街上走过。Joe Blow也用来表示普通男子。此时和Joe Blow一起走的不是个普通女子(a plain Jane)。A plain Jane是指既不美也不丑,很普通的女子。和Joe Blow一起的是个真正的美女(a real Sheila)。
Average Joe asked the woman if all banks were closed on Saturday. “No way, Jose,” she answered. This is a way of saying “no.” “No way, Jose. Many banks are open on Saturdays.”
Average Joe问这位女士,是不是所有银行周六都不开门。她回答“不可能(No way, Jose)"。这是一种表达否定的说法。“不可能。很多银行周六要开门的”。

注释:
Joe Blow 指老百姓,普通人
a plain Jane 长相不起眼,外貌平凡的女人
Sheila 在口语中表示少女,年轻貌美的女子
No way, Jose 不可能
did not know either of these two people from Adam 素不相识

Average Joe asked the woman if all baks were closed on Saturday,"No way, Jose", she answered, this is a way of saying "No","No way, Jose, many banks are open on Saturdays". Average Joe did not know either of these two people from Adam, that is, he did not know them at all, but he followed their directions to the nearest bank.
