1.Mary did not understand such sentences as "She is in blue today." "You are yellow." "He has a green thumb.(大指)""He has told a white lie." and soon.And she went to her teacher for help.
Mary:Mrs.Smith,there is a color 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 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 Veiw you some cake.In fact you don't like it,but you won't say it.Instead,you say. "No,thanks,I'm hungry." That's a white lie.
Mary:Oh,I see.Thank you very much.
