英语单词中颜色与中文翻译不同

以下是一些英语颜色单词意思与实际表达不同的部分，需要慢慢积累。

绿色

绿色green在英语中可以表示“嫉妒、眼红”，如：green with envy，green as jealousy，green-eyed monster都是指“十分嫉妒”的意思。汉语中表示“嫉妒”意义的“眼红”，应该翻译为green-eyed而不能翻译为red-eyed。

由于美元纸币是绿颜色的，所以green在美国也指代“钱财、钞票、有经济实力”等意义，如：

（11）In American political elections the candidates that win are usually the ones who have green power backing them.
在美国政治竞选中获胜的候选人通常都是些有财团支持的人物。

在英语中绿色还用来表示没有经验、缺乏训练、知识浅薄等意思，如：

（12）The new typist is green at her job.
刚来的打字员是个生手。
（13）You cannot expect Mary to do business with such people. She is only eighteen and as green as grass.
你不能指望玛丽同这样的人做生意，她只有十八岁，还毫无经验。


yellow

yellow在英语和汉语中的引申含义差别比较大。在英语中，yellow可以表示“胆小、卑怯、卑鄙”的意思，例如：
a yellow dog 可鄙的人，卑鄙的人
a yellow livered 胆小鬼

（14）He is too yellow to stand up and fight.
他太软弱，不敢起来斗争。

英语中的yellow还用来作为事物的特定颜色，例如，美国有些城市的出租车上标有“yellow”（而不是“taxi”）的字样，代表出租车，因为那里的出租车为黄颜色。如：

Yellow Pages 黄页 （电话号码簿，用黄纸印刷）
Yellow Book 黄皮书 （法国等国家的政府报告，用黄封面装帧）
yellow boy （俗）金币


蓝色

蓝色（blue）在汉语中的引申意义较少，而在英语中blue是一个含义十分丰富的颜色词。在翻译同这一颜色有关的表达时，我们应该注意其中的特别含义。

英语的blue常用来喻指人的“情绪低落”、“心情沮丧”、“忧愁苦闷”，如：

（15）They felt rather blue after the failure in the football match.
球赛踢输了，他们感到有些沮丧。

（16）—— She looks blue today. What’s the matter with her?
—— She is in holiday blue.
她今天显得闷闷不乐，出了什么事情？
她得了假期忧郁症。

例（15）中的holiday blue 相当于winter holiday depression，指冬季假期时，人困在家里，感到无聊寂寞时的心情或情绪。另一个同低落的情绪有关的词组是：a blue Monday（倒霉的星期一），指度过快乐的周末后，星期一又要上学或上班，所以情绪不好。

blue在英语中有时用来指“黄色的”、“下流的”意思，如：
blue talk 下流的言论
blue video 黄色录象

有时blue又有社会地位高、出身名门的意义，如blue blood（贵族血统）。

此外，blue在英语中与其它词汇搭配，还有另外的含义，如：
out of blue 意想不到
once in a blue 千载难逢
drink till all’s blue 一醉方休


白色
白色（white）在汉语和英语的联想意义中都有纯洁和清白的意思，但也有一些含义上的不同。例如，汉民族文化中，白色与死亡、丧事相联系，如“红白喜事”中的“白”指丧事（funeral），表示哀悼。但在英语文化中，white表示幸福和纯洁，如新娘在婚礼上穿白色礼服，代表爱情的纯洁和婚姻的贞洁。

英语中的white有时表达的含义，与汉语中的“白色”没有什么关系，如：

a white lie 善意的谎言
the white coffee 牛奶咖啡
white man 善良的人，有教养的人
white-livered 怯懦的
white elephant 昂贵又无用之物

汉语中有些与“白”字搭配的词组，实际上与英语white所表示的颜色也没有什么联系，而是表达另外的含义，如：

白开水 plain boiled water
白菜 Chinese cabbage
白字 wrongly written or mispronounced character
白搭 no use
白费事 all in vain



黑色

黑色（black）在英语和汉语两种语言文化中的联系意义大致相同。例如，黑色是悲哀的颜色，英美人在葬礼上穿黑色服装，中国人在葬礼上戴黑纱。英语中的Black Friday 指耶稣在复活节前受难的星期五，是悲哀的日子。

black在英语中还象征气愤和恼怒，如：
black in the face 脸色铁青
to look black at someone 怒目而视

另外，黑色在汉语和英语中都有“阴险”、“邪恶”的含义，不过翻译时不一定用“黑”或“black”的字眼，例如：
黑心 evil mind
黑手 evil backstage manipulator
黑幕 inside story
黑线 a sinister line
black sheep 害群之马
black day 凶日
black future 暗淡的前途


除上面所提到的各种联想意义外，颜色词还与历史、社会、经济等现象有关系，表现出一定的社会属性，例如：

历史方面：
to raise to the purple升为红衣主教
to be born in the purple 生于帝王之家
to marry into the purple 与皇室或贵族联姻

社会方面：
blue-collar workers 蓝领阶层，指普通体力劳动者
grey-collar workers 灰领阶层，指服务性行业的职员
white-collar workers 白领阶层，指接受过专门技术教育的脑力劳动者
pink-collar workers 粉领阶层，指职业妇女群体
golden-collar personnel 金领阶层，指既有专业技能又懂管理和营销的人才

经济方面：
red ink 赤字
in the black 盈利
white goods 白色货物，指冰箱、洗衣机等外壳为白色的家电产品
brown goods 棕色货物，指电视、录音机、音响等外壳为棕色的电子产品。

求简析英语习语中有关颜色词的翻译

宗教论文
It Pays to Be Honest In recent years, people often complain about dishonesty in our society. In newspapers,illegal businessmen run false advertisements to deceive customers. In communication field, some people cheat money by sending false messages. On campus, we find some students cheating at exams. People are wondering why dishonesty is so prevailing? There are several causes,to my mind, contributing to the bad phenomenon. Firstly, some people are money-oriented. They are crazy about improving their material life and forgetting moral sense. Secondly, competition in shopping areas is becoming more and more intense. This forced some people to make profit or attain their goals by false information. Thirdly, some people are eager to become rich overnight. They judge a person’s success by the wealth they possess. Finally, school life is full of eternal competition and each student tries to prove that he is more intelligent than the other students. Therefore students cheat on exams to get higher scores. It pays to be honest in the long run. Being honest is beneficial to yourself and to other people,and honesty will bring you true friendship and more business opportunities. As a member of modern society, we should behave ourselves honestly and in return it will pave the way for our success and wealth.
习俗论文
Millions of Americans will celebrate Christmas on December twenty-fifth. It is the most widely celebrated religious holiday in the United States.

People buy gifts to give to family members and friends. They fill homes and stores with evergreen1 trees and bright, colored lights. They go to parties and prepare special Christmas food. Many people think Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.

Many Christians go to church the night before the holiday or on Christmas Day. They celebrate Christmas as the birthday of Jesus Christ. Christian2 ministers3 speak about the need for peace and understanding in the world. This is the spiritual4 message of Christmas. Church services include traditional religious songs for the holiday. One of the most popular is "Silent Night."

Many other Americans celebrate Christmas as an important, but non-religious holiday. To all, however, it is a special day of family, food, and exchanging gifts.

Christmas is probably the most special day of the year for children. One thing that makes it special is the popular tradition of Santa Claus5.

Young children believe that Santa Claus is a fat, kind, old man in a red suit with white fur. They believe that-on the night before Christmas-he travels through the air in a sleigh6 pulled by reindeer7. He enters each house from the top by sliding down the hole in the fireplace8. He leaves gifts for the children under the Christmas tree.

Americans spend a lot of time and money buying Christmas presents. The average American family spends about 800 dollars. Stores and shopping centers are crowded at this time of year. More than 20% of goods sold during the year are sold during the weeks before Christmas. This is good for stores and for the American economy.

Some people object to spending all this money. They say it is not the real meaning of Christmas. So, they celebrate in other ways. For example, they make Christmas presents, instead of buying them. Or they volunteer to help serve meals to people who have no homes. Or they give money to organizations that help poor people in the United States and around the world.

Home and family are the center of the Christmas holiday. For many people, the most enjoyable tradition is buying a Christmas tree and decorating9 it with lights and beautiful objects. On Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, people gather around the tree to open their presents.

Another important Christmas tradition involves food. Families prepare many kinds of holiday foods, especially sweets. They eat these foods on the night before Christmas and on Christmas day.

For many people, Christmas means traveling long distances to be with their families. Another Christmas tradition is to go "caroling10."A group of people walk along the street. At each house, they stop and sing a Christmas song, called carol. Student groups also sing carols at schools and shopping centers.

Not everyone in the United States celebrates Christmas. Members of the Jewish11 and Muslim12 religions, for example, generally do not. Yet many Americans do take part in some of the traditional performances of the season. One of the most popular is a story told in dance: "The Nutcracker13" ballet14. The music was written by Russian composer15 Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky in 1891.

The ballet is about a young girl named Clara. Clara is celebrating Christmas with her family and friends. One of her Christmas presents is a little device16 to open nuts-a nutcracker. It is shaped like a toy soldier. She dreams that the nutcracker comes to life as a good-looking prince.

Professional17 dance groups in many American cities perform the ballet at this time of year. They often use students from local ballet schools to dance the part of Clara and the other children in the story. This gives parents a chance to see their children perform.

中财MBA面试有小组面试，什么是小组面试？哪位牛人给我解释一下？

无领导小组面试的决胜精髓是：在保证集体胜利的前提下，最大化突出个人优势和管理潜能。
无领导小组面试一般邀请5-7名考生组成一个讨论小组，围绕一个管理学案例进行讨论，给出改善和解决方案。撇开流程不谈，强调了决胜的几大要点。
一、正确的自我评估，找准角色定位。通过简单的自我介绍和第一轮讨论，成员们会找到自己的角色定位。领导者和陈述者两个角色是最易出彩，也是最具风险的。领导者需要具备随机应变、掌握节奏和调节气氛的能力（譬如出现猪队友与大家吵架的混乱情况如何应对之类）。而陈述者则需具备较强的语言表达能力，能以沉稳的语调去芜存菁华，总结出有深度的见解。如果有很大把握可以胜任这两个角色，可以主动请缨。
二、切忌“不说话”和“说太多”。除了以上两个角色，自然还会有跟随者、时间掌控者等角色。但无论选择哪个角色，切忌不能全程默默旁观，这样会显得没主见，对团队没有贡献和参与感。对于激动起来就说个没完没了的同学，必须控制陈述意见的语态和节奏。如果没有特别独到、深刻的观点，可以选择认真倾听其他考生发言，肯定他人观点后，简明扼要地补充有待完善之处。
三、合作和团队意识。敲黑板，重要的事情说三遍：团队意识、团队意识、团队意识。如果出现整场没有领导者和陈述者出现，小组成员互相倒戈的情况，这场面试绝对没有赢家。经济学中经典的“囚徒困境“理论说的就是这个道理。有些考生因为过于想表现自我，非常刻意驳斥其他考生的观点。但MBA提前批面试，并不是大学生辩论赛。观点本对错，新颖和独到的观点才能加分。
