是要写论文啊

很难诶,难道lz要写论文?我只能找到一点.希望对lz有点帮助.要是能再找到就再补充哈.（都是网上的资源）
先说想到的第三点.a white lie 指“不怀恶意的谎言”,blue film指不健康的电影,Yellow Pages（黄页电话查号簿）和中文的“黄色书”不一样.
青[qing]:可以指绿色（green）,如“青椒”（green peppe）；可以指蓝色,如“青天”（blue Sky）；也可以指黑色,如“青布”（black cloth）. 美国人谈到皮肉受伤时说be brised black and blue, 而中国人则说“被打得青一块,紫一块”.若直译就成了：be beaten blue and Purple.
red gold：纯金.红糖：brown sugar 红茶：black tea 红榜：honour roll 红豆：love pea 红运：good luck 红利：dividend 红事：wedding .green-eyed：嫉妒/眼红 white money：银币 white elephant：无用而累赘的东西 white crow：罕见的事物

捷克人视红色三角为有毒标志,土耳其人将绿色三角形商标视为免费商品.阿拉伯人从来不系绿领带,法国人从不带红、蓝、白三种颜色相间的领带,荷兰人忌讳橙色领带.在与西班牙人打交道时,以穿黑色皮鞋为宜,切忌穿橙色皮鞋.目前,国外许多工厂企业都用红色表示“火”、“停”,用于消防设施,以绿色表示“安全”,用于太平门、急救站,在法国,色彩已成为指挥生产的一种手段.由于美元纸币是绿颜色的,所以green在美国也指代“钱财、钞票、有经济实力”等意义.在英语中绿色还用来表示没有经验、缺乏训练、知识浅薄等意思,就如我们称新手为greenhand.
黄色在英语和汉语中的引申含义差别比较大.在英语中,yellow可以表示“胆小、卑怯、卑鄙”的意思,例如：
a yellow dog 可鄙的人,卑鄙的人
a yellow livered 胆小鬼
英语的blue常用来喻指人的“情绪低落”、“心情沮丧”、“忧愁苦闷”,
blue在英语中有时用来指“黄色的”、“下流的”意思,如：
blue talk 下流的言论
blue video **（不健康）录像
