Meaningful Colours

  

  Mary did not understand such sentences as “She is blue Today”, “You are yellow”,“He has a green thumb (大拇指)”,“He has told a little white lie”and so on. And she went to her teacher for help.

  Mary : Mrs Smith, there is a colour in each of these sentences. What do they mean?

  Mrs Smith : In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad. Yellowafraid. A person with a green thumbgrows plants well. And a white lie is not a bad one.

  Mary : Would you give me an example for “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.
