淺談?dòng)⒄Z(yǔ)中的色彩詞

Red，orange，yellow，green，blue，indigo and violet...we live in a World Full of colors.The world would be a dull place without them，but do you know what represent and how they affect people? Today we will talk about the colors and describe the moods of people by looking at the colors they choose to wear，which colors match your characteristics?

1.Cool colors

（1）Blue（藍(lán)色）

藍(lán)色一般用來(lái)表示幽靜、深邃和開(kāi)朗，如：“blue sky ”，“blue sea ”，但在下面的詞組中，“blue”卻有憂(yōu)郁和沮喪的意思：“blue junk”（沮喪）；“blue monday”（憂(yōu)傷的星期一）；“to be in the blue”（垂頭喪氣）。

Blue can also represent sadness，so you may say：“I’m feeling blue”，when you are feeling sad.

Blue is one of calm colors，wearing blue clothes or sleeping in a blue room is good for our mind and body，because this color orates a feeling of harmony.

（2）Green（綠色）

綠色往往象征著旺盛的生命力，生機(jī)勃勃等，如“a green old age”（老當(dāng)益壯）；“in the green”（青春期）。

So green can give you energy，as it is the color of nature and represents new life and growth.

When you feel tired or weak，you should wear green color.Kitty is a dancer，she often feels tired or weak，I think she should use the color of green.However，it is also the color of envy，when we say someone is green with envy.

（3）Purple（紫色）

還有一些色彩詞也很活躍。Purple，意為紫色的，表示顯赫的地位，高貴的出身。如：She married into the purple.她嫁到顯貴人家。He was born to the purple.他出身顯貴。這一點(diǎn)與“blue”的一個(gè)用法相近，如：He is a blue blood.他有貴族的血統(tǒng)。

2.Warm colors

（1）Yellow（黃色）

黃色與漢語(yǔ)中所表示的某些概念不一樣，與色情也沒(méi)有關(guān)系。

Yellow is the color of the sun，so it can remind you of a warm，sunny day.同時(shí)，它是智慧的顏色。Some people prefer this color when they study for exams.For example，they may use yellow stationery.

（2）Red（紅色）

紅色一般用來(lái)表示喜慶、歡樂(lè)和尊貴的意思，英語(yǔ)中有幾個(gè)表示紅色的詞，應(yīng)用最多的是“red”，另外有“scarlet”（鮮紅）和“crimson”（深紅），Red represents power and strength，if a man has a strong personality and likes to be a leader，his color should be red.

Anyone in need of physical or mental strength should wear red clothes.Red is the color of heat and represents power and strong feelings，wearing red can also make it easier for you to take action.This can help when you are having difficulty making a decision.

3.Intermediate colors

（1）White（白色的，白的或純潔的）

White makes you feel calm and peaceful.If you are feeling stressed，you should wear white.For example，if a student worries a lot and often gets stressed，he or she should use white more.It can help people calm down;white is also the color of purity，many women like to be in white on their wedding day.

（2）Grey（灰色）

灰色往往有消亡，暗淡之意，如“a grey day”（陰天），“grey prospects”（暗淡的前景），“grey marker”（黑市）。

赤橙黃綠青藍(lán)紫……諸多美麗的色彩構(gòu)成五彩繽紛的世界，而無(wú)數(shù)的色彩詞以其豐富的含義更使人類(lèi)的語(yǔ)言豐富多彩、風(fēng)趣動(dòng)人，使宇宙萬(wàn)物生輝。人們用色彩詞表達(dá)自己的喜怒哀樂(lè)、描繪自己的所見(jiàn)所聞，已經(jīng)成為表達(dá)和交流思想感情的常用手段。生活中如果沒(méi)有色彩，人們的眼前就會(huì)是一片黑暗；同樣，語(yǔ)言中缺少了色彩詞，語(yǔ)言也會(huì)顯得蒼白無(wú)力。
