13、anging color. 3.2 the real color words In daily life, people want to express some colour also tend to the colour attachment by the object itself is joint and several. The object is usually well known and can be seen everywhere. For example: zhang SAN is wearing a orange shirt. Orange is a kind of co
14、mmon fruit, when it comes to oranges, others will think of its shape and color. Use orange to describe expression will easily with other color difference, and vivid. We should pay attention to this kind of color words. Such as: golden: gold/golden; Silver: silver; Orange: orange; Lead ashes: lead -
15、gray; Orange red: orange - red; Peach, peach - pink, 3.3 color color words The same color in different light, different environments, it is concluded that the colour effect is also different. To express this effect is to use the proper words to express the depth, light and shade. This kind of words
16、are: (1) the table deep: deep/dark; Such as: deep blue/dark blue deep blue; Deep green, dark green; (2) the table shallow light: light/pale; Such as: light yellow, yellow; Light blue, light blue; Pale gray, shallow ash; Pale white light white.

18、imilar place. For example: the blackboard, the blackboard; The red flag is a red flag; The black market, a black market; He white Hall a whitehall (refers to the British government); The White House, a White House (U.S. government); In Chinese and English two languages, the red represents a kind of
19、enthusiasm, shy, or is associated with celebration activities, festival days, black represents solemn, the bad and evil, gray represents suffering, depressed, white represents purity, purple on behalf of showily, etc. 4.2A different place You can see that the definition of color words in Chinese and
20、 still differ in thousands ways, the formation of these differences we can find the reason from many aspects. At the time of the initial, western civilization is biased towards the scientific and rational, their understanding of the objective world is generally a realistic scientific attitude. That
21、led to the color word symbolic meanings in English are very directly, and we are more easy to trace its language according to the logic and argumentation. But for China, because it has experienced several thousand years of feudal rule, so in both education and science and technology, compared with t
22、he western China is relatively backward. Combined with the meaning of the color words in the Chinese culture evolution are often linked to political, so generally has the mystery. We also can feel, Chinese color words not only has rich connotation, and multiple symbolic significance. 1, the contrast
23、 of color words in English and Chinese history and culture Complex enables Chinese people advocate the yellow of the soil, from yellow to golden harvest, from yellow to yellow robe huang (huang) crown, etc., have reflected the Chinese worship of the yellow . Yellow is the color of power, represents

25、), yellow looks (Joe a suspicious character). 2, the color words in different ways of thinking, behavior, in contrast to use English and Chinese language differences reflect the difference between English and Chinese thinking and cognitive style. Mentioned in the word jealous reflects the thinking i
26、n images of the Chinese people, Chinese people tend to be the overall grasp, since the childhood, from actual conditions and pay attention to the subject and object. While the westerners use green refers to envy, this comes from the understanding of the westerners view. They think the green plant is
27、 a sign of healthy, this is a provocation to other colors. So westerners use green - eyed metaphor jealousy, which reflects their abstract thinking and associate things with people, pay attention to the external knowledge acquisition. In addition, users of English and Chinese two languages use diffe
28、rent color words to describe the same phenomenon or things, because they are from a different Angle to observe the same phenomenon or things, and belong to the category of different color words to describe. Such as the color of skin collision present is mutiple level, not clear, people can from diff

Is commonly used in Chinese the word green (black or green or blue) is derived from the color dark cool color in the category of integrated, while the English word, black and blue color belongs to the main, so there will be a was beaten was black and blue all ov
30、er a piece of and to be beaten black and blue to translate, there is no essential difference. 3, color words contrast in the national way of life Xiao-ping yao once mentioned, archaeology and anthropology has confirmed that red is the first to use the natural color of pigment and act the role of mat
