大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【颜色】的话题。
我们先从红色开始吧。如果我们说“她脸红了”，意思是“她害羞了。”因为害羞的时候我们的脸会变红。一个人很生气的时候，也可以说“他气得脸红。”。除了“脸红”，还有一个词叫“眼红”，意思是嫉妒别人。例如：“我看到他那辆漂亮的新车就非常眼红。”“红”还有“有名”的意思，我们可以说“他是个很红的明星。”也可以说“他是个很火的明星。”
第二个是黄色。如果一个人休息不好，或者营养不良，他的脸色看起来不太健康，我们可以说“他脸色发黄。”“黄”还有“没有了，失败了”的意思，例如：客户突然说不买他的房子了，这笔买卖黄了。 有一句俗语叫做“黄花菜都凉了”，意思是等一件事或者一个人等了很久，例如：你怎么才来，我等到黄花菜都凉了。黄色还有一个不好的意思，黄色笑话指的是blue jokes。
第三个是绿色。一个人很恐惧的时候，我们可以说他的脸绿了。例如：他吓得脸都绿了。生气的时候也可以说“他气得脸都绿了。”绿色的帽子在中国还有一个特别的意思，我们说一个人戴绿帽子，意思是他的另一半出轨了别的男人或者女人。
在西方股票市场，绿色代表股价上升；而在中国股票市场则相反，红色是上升，绿色是下跌。主要原因是，中国人喜欢红色。
你还知道哪些颜色的俗语？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。
