关于颜色的英文谚语
A.red(红色)
无论是在英语国家还是在中国,红色往往与庆祝活动或喜庆日子有关。因为日历中,这些日子常用红色字体。因此, red letter day指的是“纪念日”或“喜庆的日子”。
红色还指“负债”或“亏损”,因为人们总是用红笔登记负数。于是就有了这些词组:
red figure赤字;red ink赤字;in the red亏损;red-ink entry赤字分录;red balance赤字差额。除此之外,还有如:red cent一分钱;red gold纯金;red tip on stock market指股票市场的最新情报。
B.black(黑色)

另外,英语中,和红色墨水是“赤字”的意思相反,黑色还可表示盈利。例如:black figure/in the black盈利、赚钱、顺差;black figure nation国际收支顺差国;interest in the black应收利息 。
C.blue(蓝色)
在英语中通常表示“不快乐、忧郁”的情绪。如:in a blue mood情绪低沉 。
还常用来表示社会地位高、有权势或出身贵族或王族。如 :He is a real blue blood.(他是真正的贵族);blue-eyed boys(受到管理当局宠爱和特别照顾的职工);a blue moon千载难逢的机会。
经济词汇中blue表示许多不同的意思。如:blue book蓝皮书;blue-sky market露天市场;blue-collar workers从事体力劳动的工人;blue chip热门证券;blue button喻指有权进入股票交易的经纪人;blue return蓝色所得税申报表(专供诚实的纳税人申报用);blue-chip rate英国的优惠的信贷利率;blue laws蓝法(指禁止在星期日从事商业交易的美国法律)。
D.green(绿色)
英语中的green常用来表示“嫉妒”,如 :greeneyed嫉妒/眼红。
green还表示“新鲜”或没有经验、缺乏训练,如:green meat鲜肉;a green hand新手。

E.white(白色)
在英语中white常使人联想起清白,如:white war没有硝烟的战争,常指“经济竞争”。
有些事物因其颜色为白而得名,如 :white goods指的是体积大、单价高的家用电器用具,这类物体常刷成白色,故名;white money银币;white coal水力;white elephant昂贵却派不上用场的物体或物主不需要但又无法处置之物 ;white sale大减价 ;the white way白光大街(指城里灯光灿烂的商业区)。
