4、king about colours, why not begin with the very word “colour”. M: Good idea! In English, the word “colour” has more to say than merely being the general name of colours.F: Yep.

5、以表示一个人的脸色、气色。 至于气色的好坏，则可以用 “little” 和 “high” 来形容。 “has very little colour”, “气色很差”; “has a high colour”, “气色不错”。 M: There are also other interesting expressions related to colour. 比如，你想形容某人以优异的成绩通过考试，那就可以说 “She passed the exam with flying colours”。 F: 此外，“颜色鲜艳的”是 “colourful”; “苍白无色的”是 “colourless”.
6、形容颜色深，可以用 “dark” or “deep”; 形容颜色浅则可以用 “light” or “pale”. For instance, “pale green”, “淡绿色”.M: Words that have a very close relationship with “colour” are “hue”, “tint”, “shade”, and “tone”.

7、unds like you know much about them. Im ready to hear more.M: I just did a little research.

8、 “tint”, “shade” and “tone”, the important thing is to remember how the colour varies from its original hue. If white is added to a colour, the lighter version is called a “tint”, such as “a tint of red in the sky”, “一抹淡淡的霞光”. If the colour is made darker by adding black, the result is called a “sha
9、de”, like “a deeper shade of blue”, “一种深蓝色”. If any gray is added, each gradation gives you a different “tone”. F: Wow, this is something interesting. Thank you, Mr. Knowledgeable.M: My pleasure.F: When come to specific colours, the first word comes to my mind is “rainbow”. As we all know from child
10、hood, every rainbow has seven colours: red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and violet.

11、rs can be used to make any other colours which are called secondary colours. “Secondary colour”, “合成色” . 通过混合基本色，可以获得其他各种颜色, 这些颜色就被称为“合成色”。In this beautiful world, secondary colours are countless.M: Exactly.

Why not choose one colour and leave the rest to audience? Whats your favorite colour? We can talk about that.M: Great! My favorite is blue. So, l
14、ets take blue for example. In English, colour blue is associated with depression and sadness. So there are expressions like “be in the blues”, “情绪低落的”; “blue Monday” “倒霉星期一”; 不过需要注意的是 “out of the blue”可不是情绪好转的意思，它表示 “出乎意料”。 Lina, can you name some other expressions?F: No problem. There are “blue-col
