問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗(共 10 分，每題 2 分)    It is no surprise that different cultures and languages have different words for colors. But learning the words for colors in a different language can be difficult because some cultures do not even have words for certain colors. That is, other cultures have many different words for darker or lighter types of the same color.For example, the Japanese word “ao” is one word for both blue and green in English. In Britain, light red is called pink. And the Russians have separate words for what the English can only describe as two different kinds of blue. In Russian, “sinij” means light blue in English and “goluboj” means dark blue.Of course, colors symbolize different things in different cultures. In India, red is the color symbolizing war, so soldier uniforms are red. In Russia, red symbolizes beauty and strength. In China, red is the color of good luck. It is interesting to think that with all these differences in meaning, red is the color most often used for national flags in the world.In a different way, blue can have the same meaning in different cultures. In Iran, blue is the color for sadness. In America, when someone is sad, they are “feeling blue.” But in many different countries, blue is also the color of police uniforms, which represents authority.From these examples, you can see that understanding the meaning of colors in different cultures can be very complicated.
