地道英语：你不知道的颜色相关的短语词汇
Going green
Turning red
Heavy metal?
True colours
　　下次有人再问你有关英语方面的问题，千万不要red-faced。今天，我们要谈谈与颜色相关的短语词汇。如果你学会了，你的朋友将会green with envy!
　　Going green

　　一般来说，如果你用green (苍白)或是 green around the gills(脸色苍白)来形容默认的相貌，或脸色，大多指的是看起来脸色不好，可能有要呕吐的样子。
　　但是，如果有人说你有a greenthumb，别担心，那是在夸你，不是在说你手有什么问题。而是说你有种植技能，园艺技能。
　　然而，假如你在园子里辛勤努力，但是还是一无所获的话，你可能看到那些有着高超园艺技能的人，而变得green withenvy。这句短语的意思是非常妒忌、嫉妒不已。
　　例句：I was green with envy when I saw her new car。(当我看到她的新车，我简直是羡慕、嫉妒、恨。)
　　你还可能听到有些人使用这样的短语：green-eyed monster(字面翻译为：绿眼妖魔)。其实这也是“嫉妒”的一种说法。英国的大剧作家莎士比亚曾在作品《奥塞罗》首次使用了这个短语‘green-eyed’。
　　Turning red

　　请看上图，你一定想我在这里会讨论狗，但是这只是 a red herring。
　　A red herring 指的是可能误导或转移注意力的信息。在怪诞小说中，a red herring是帮助读者得出错误结论的蛛丝马迹。这样一来，读者会继续阅读下去，试着寻找线索。
　　这个短语最开始用在形容“使用臭味很重的鱼来干扰狗寻找猎物”。
　　有些时候，在怪诞小说的结尾，罪魁祸首被caught red-handed(人赃俱获)。To catch someonered-handed 意思是说当场抓住做坏事、例如偷东西或是骗人的人，可以翻译成：当场抓获、抓个正着，抓个现行。
　　当你考试作弊，被抓了个现行之后，你也许会感到red-faced 。 To be‘red-faced’指的是感到尴尬或是羞愧。
　　当然，我们知道你是永远不会干这样事情的。但是我们可能是通过rose-coloured glasses 看你了
　　通过rose-coloured glasses (玫瑰色眼镜)看人，意思是说看现实过于乐观、把现实想得太过好了。
　　Heavy metal?

　　不仅彩云的五彩颜色-赤橙黄绿青蓝紫进入到英语短语之中。同时，金子的价值也被用在各种英语短语中。
　　你可以说你有 a golden opportunity,指的是你有不容错过、千载难逢的好机会。如果你很健康、感觉很好，你可以告诉大家你感到as good as gold(棒极了，好到极点)。如果有一个人很慷慨，你可以用have a heart ofgold来形容他。这个短语的意思是道德高尚的人、一颗金子般的心，善良的心。
　　假如你更喜欢银色，你会喜欢在电影院或剧场中的silver screen (银屏)。
　　当然，还有 silver bullet，指的是解决问题的快速、简洁的办法。
　　例句：I thought hypnosis might be the silver bullet to cure myaddiction。(我以为催眠术能帮助我快速、简便地治愈我的瘾。)
　　还有一句短语，叫做 silver fox ，指的是头发花白的英俊男子。
　　True colours

　　现在你已经学了这么多有关颜色的短语，我想你一定能通过各种英语考试with flying colours。
　　To pass ‘with flyingcolours’指的是胜利、凯旋、成功，不仅如此，你还只是花了吹灰之力、轻而易举地凯旋而归。
