Mary :Mrs.Smith,there is a colour in each of these sentences.What do they mean?
Mrs.Smith :In everyday English,Mary,blue sometimes means sad.Yellow means afraid.A person with a green thumb grows plants(植物) well.And a white lie is not a bad one.
Mary :Would you give me an example for “ a white lie”?
Mrs Smith :Certainly.Now I give you some cakes.In fact you don’t like it,but you won’t say it.
Instead,you say,“No,thanks ,I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.
Mary :Oh,I see,Thank you very much.

玛丽说：“史密斯老师,这些句子里都含有一个颜色的词语,”
史密斯老师说：“玛丽,在日常英语中,蓝色又是表示悲伤.黄色表示胆怯.有着绿色拇指的人擅于栽培植物.而白色的谎言往往没有恶意.”
玛丽说：“您能用白色的谎言举一个例子吗?”
史密斯老师说：“当然可以.假如现在我给你了一些蛋糕.事实上你并不想吃,但是你不会说出来,而是说‘谢谢,但是我不饿.’这就是一个善意的谎言.”
玛丽说：“哦,我懂了,”
