英语中表示“颜色”词汇的多种用法,轻松掌握

我们都知道在中文里面,红色代表热情似火,蓝色代表冷酷忧郁,黑色则代表阴险恐怖。

Similarly, in English expressions, the use of color words is also varied, for example, red can indicate anger, embarrassment, and other situations. The blue is close to the Chinese, indicating depression, sadness, and other emotions, while the black can express anger, hatred, and other psychological.
