Chinese Conversation – lesson 394

让人联想到金星和天空的蓝色,在史前时期就具有宗教上的神圣意义。如今,人们把它与圣母马利亚联系在一起。我们不大高兴时,有时会说我们“blue”,表 示有些忧郁。但对于我们大多数人来说,蓝色仍然是个象征快乐、甚至吉祥的颜色。当我们有意外的好运时,我们常说“喜从天降”。对于出生属于宝瓶座、天秤座 和金牛座的人来说,蓝色是个特别吉祥的颜色。

The color associated with Venus as well as the color of the sky, blue has been sacred in religions dating back to prehistoric times. Today it is associated with the Virgin Mary. We sometimes say we are “blue” when we are less than happy. Still, blue is a happy, even lucky color for most of us. And when we have unexpected good luck, we often say it came “out of the blue.” It is an especially lucky color for people born under the signs of Aquarius, Libra, and Taurus.
