Problem description:
Who can explain the meaning of these words in English?
It's slang, don't translate it directly, thank you.
He is green.
You are wearing pink today.
These are all white elephants.
Her heart is as black as coal.
Analysis:
1, inexperienced, novice. As far as fruit is concerned, the green half is tender.
2. Upstairs is right. Pink means "healthy" and "beautiful". Because people's faces have improved well, when they are healthy, their blood circulation is vigorous, showing a white and red color.
3. The use of white elephants to refer to "heavy, big and useless things" originated from the king of Siam (now Thailand). At that time, the white elephant was very noble and was considered as the private property of the king. Because of its "favored" status and huge appetite, the white elephant has become the killer of the king to rectify his eyesore-openly giving the white elephant as a gift to the courtiers who are not pleasing to the eye, and the courtiers hide the baby, which can neither be used nor used, but also be favored and slightly neglected. Within a few months, those gifted courtiers were dragged to bankruptcy because they served the white elephant.
Her heart is as black as coal. Similar to China's "heartless" meaning.
