色彩用语系列（二）：蓝色

色彩用语系列

在英语里，蓝色可是个有意思的词。它象征贵族，象征优雅，可居然还是色情的代表颜色，这个“蓝”还真是够复杂。今天我们就来侃侃这个词。 1. In a blue mood, having the blues 悲伤，犹豫 In English "blue" is usually associated with unhappy feelings. 它常常和悲伤、忧郁联系在一起。"In a blue mood" or "having the blues" means a sad gloomy or depressed mood. Similar in meaning is "a blue Monday (蓝色的礼拜一)" -- the first day of work or school after a pleasant, happy weekend. 想想看，经过快乐的周末，礼拜一可是学习工作的第一天，多少还是有点不适应呀，要是周末玩的太疯的话，礼拜一可不想上班，真想好好休息休息。比如：It was a blue Monday and he just didn't feel like going back to work. 顺便提一句，英语里有个非常常用的缩略语TGIF-Thank God It's Friday.
