Mary can’t understand such sentences as “She is blue today.” “You are yellow.” “He has a green thumb (大拇指).” “He tells a white lie.” and so on. And she goes to her teacher for help.
Mary: Mrs. Smith, there is a colour in each of these sentence. What do they mean?
Mrs. Smith: In everyday English, blue sometimes means sad. Yellow, afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well. And a white lie is not a bad one.
Mary: Would you please give me an example of a white lie?
Mrs. Smith: Certainly. Now I give you some cake. In fact, you don’t like it. But you won’t say it. Instead, you say, “ No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary: Oh, I see. Thank you very much.

Han Meimei has read something with the colour words in them. She doesn't understand what they mean. So she went to her teacher, Mrs Green, for help. Here is what they are talking about:
Meimei: Good morning, Mr Green. Have, you got a moment?
Green: Yes. What can I do for you, Meimei?
Meimei: I've come to some sentences that I don't understand. Can you help me?
Green: What are they?
Meimei: They are words of colour in these sentences on this list :
(1) Jack is blue today.
(2) She's yellow.
(3) He's told a white lie (谎言).
(4) Tom has a green thumb (大拇指).
Green: In everyday English the word blue means sad. Yellow means afraid sometimes. A person with a green thumb usually grows plants well. When you tell a white lie, you mean not to trouble someone too much. A white lie is not a bad one.
Meimei: Would you please give me an example of “a white lie”?
Green: Certainly. If I give you a cake and you don't like it, you won't say that you don't like it. Instead you'll say that you are not hungry. That's a white lie.
Meimei: I see. Thank you very much.
