色彩用语系列（一）：绿色（通讯员稿）
<p>色彩用语系列</p><p>颜色也是会说话的。看到红色就像看到过年、结婚，看到绿色就想到春天、活力。不过呢，颜色在不同的国家，寓意也有不同。废话就不说了，今天我们就来侃侃“绿-<span word="Green">Green</span>”。 1. <span word="green">green</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="envy">envy</span>, <span word="green">green</span> <span word="eyed">eyed</span> 嫉妒，“眼红”， <span word="Besides">Besides</span> "<span word="green">green</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="envy">envy</span>", <span word="English">English</span> <span word="has">has</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="term">term</span> "<span word="green">green</span>-<span word="eyed">eyed</span> <span word="monster">monster</span>" <span word="or">or</span> <span word="just">just</span> "<span word="green">green</span>-<span word="eyed">eyed</span>" - <span word="both">both</span> <span word="meaning">meaning</span> <span word="jealous">jealous</span>, <span word="envious">envious</span>. <span word="However">However</span>, <span word="in">in</span> <span word="Chinese">Chinese</span>, <span word="an">an</span> <span word="expression">expression</span> <span word="often">often</span> <span word="used">used</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="describe">describe</span> <span word="envy">envy</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="jealousy">jealousy</span> <span word="is">is</span> 眼红 <span word="or">or</span> 害了红眼病 - <span word="literally">literally</span> "<span word="red">red</span>-<span word="eyed">eyed</span>". <span word="Quite">Quite</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="different">different</span> <span word="color">color</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="thing">thing</span>! <span word="Interestingly">Interestingly</span>, <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="old">old</span> <span word="days">days</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="Chinese">Chinese</span> <span word="expression">expression</span> 戴绿帽子, 戴绿头巾 (<span word="literally">literally</span> "<span word="to">to</span> <span word="wear">wear</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="green">green</span> <span word="hat">hat</span>/<span word="head">head</span> <span word="band">band</span>" ) <span word="meant">meant</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cuckold">cuckold</span>. 和以前提到的一些词一样，<span word="green">green</span>在中英文语言环境中表达的意思也存在着差异。先看<span word="be">be</span> <span word="green">green</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="envy">envy</span>，这是个非常口语化的短语，意思是：羡慕极了。古代的不列颠人似乎认为心里一妒忌，脸色就发绿。注意这个词，有些书上把它解释成"非常怨恨"，但是这一表达方式并没有那么强烈的意味。例如： <span word="Wait">Wait</span> <span word="till">till</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="see">see</span> <span word="my">my</span> <span word="new">new</span> <span word="skirt">skirt</span>. <span word="You">You</span>'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="going">going</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="absolutely">absolutely</span> <span word="green">green</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="envy">envy</span>.</p><p>你等着看我的新裙子吧，准叫你羡慕得不得了。 <span word="We">We</span> <span word="were">were</span> <span word="all">all</span> <span word="green">green</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="envy">envy</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="we">we</span> <span word="learned">learned</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="Julian">Julian</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="gotten">gotten</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="date">date</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="beautiful">beautiful</span> <span word="girl">girl</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="our">our</span> <span word="class">class</span>.</p><p>知道<span word="Julian">Julian</span>跟我们班的“班花”约会以后，我们都羡慕极了。 最有意思的还是<span word="green">green</span>－<span word="eyed">eyed</span>。在西方，人们把嫉妒心强的人成为<span word="green">green</span>-<span word="eyed">eyed</span> <span word="monster">monster</span>。嫉妒心太强，难免做出一些坏事，称为魔鬼也算恰当，但为什么这个魔鬼一定是绿眼睛的呢？在希腊神话中，天王<span word="Zeus">Zeus</span>红眼><span word="green">green</span>-<span word="eyed">eyed</span></p>
