Green is the color of most growing plants.绿色是大多数植物生长的颜色。很多时候,Green
means young, fresh and growing. “绿色”意味着“年轻、新鲜和成长”,所以见到the green years
就可以猜到是“青春年华”,如果想形容某人是老当益壮,就可以说He is ripe in years but green in heart.
虽然青春年华很好,但这时候的人办事,总是“没有什么经验、比较幼稚”,所以green hand可不是指“绿手”,而是指“生手”,如果你对自己的工作还不是很熟悉,就可以说I'm
still green at my job. 中国人讲到嫉妒,总是说眼睛都“红”了,但老外却是用“green eyed”来形容。另外既然交通路口上,绿灯亮了,意味着“行人可以通行了”,那么green
light就顺便表达了“允许、许可”的意思,如果你正在焦急地等待着某位官员批准你的请求,不妨说 I'm only waiting for
the green light from you. 我们还应该知道green revolution, 这是发展中国家为了为解决粮食问题,而进行的大规模的改良农业的活动,
These developing countries produced enough food to serve their people
after green revolution. “绿色革命后,这些发展中国家就生产出足够的粮食来满足国民的需要”。
最后要告诉你如果你有了个green finger(或是green thumb),那你可就了不起了,因为在故事里,A person with
green finger has a magic touch that makes plants grow well and quickly.
长着绿手指的人是有魔法的,只要他一碰,植物就长的又快又好。 如果你把大伙干不好的活都干得漂漂亮亮,那么别人就会说你有green finger了!
