Mary can't
understand :
"She
is blue today."
"You
are yellow."
"He
has a green thumb (大拇指)."
"He
tells a white lie."
And she
goes to her teacher for help.
Mary: Mrs.
Smith, there is a colour in each of these sentences. What do they mean?
Mrs.
Smith: In everyday English, blue sometimes means sad. Yellow, afraid. A person
with a green thumb grows plants well. And a white lie is not a bad one.
Mary:
Would you please give me an example of a white lie?
Mrs.
Smith: Certainly. Now I give you some cake. In fact, you don't like it. But you
won't say it. Instead(相反地), you say, " No, thanks. I'm not hungry." That's a white
lie.
Mary: Oh, I see. Thank you very much.
