After all, the mankind lives in the same material world and shares mon existence law and natural environment. So the meanings of color words have the same connotations. No matter in China or English countries, “red” paratively has something re levant to celebrating. “Red” in Western culture is not so popularly weled as in China, but it still reveals happiness and luck on some special occasions. For instance, paint the town red, to roll out the red carpet for somebody, a red letter day etc. Generally speaking, red letter days mean Christmas Day or some other significant days, like May Day, because such important festivals in some Western countries are specially marked in red on the calendar. The Chinese people have a favor for the color “red”, and red stands for enthusiasm, happiness and joy. In both Chinese and English, there are various terms indicating that black often carries a negative meaning such as blackmail, blacklist, blackhearted, black market. In English, someone dead, the relative must wear black clothes. In China in the funerals the relative wear a mourningband and so on. Red is also associated with certain emotions. Let us see a few examples. He clenched his fist and went red. Her face turned red when bombarded with such an embarrassing question. I can see that he is red with anger. When he criticized my work, I really saw red. The mere mention of his enemy’s name is like waving a red flag to him. In the sentences above, we can guess some meanings. There is a Chinese equivalent while the others are not so easy to understand by Chinese.

(Pure and innocent) Tom is a very white boy. He never tells lies. (Honest) But in this sense, what does the term a white lie mean? Can a lie be pure and innocent? Actually, a white lie is a harmless one, intended not to hurt someone. For example, your mother bought a dress for you that she was very satisfied with, and wanted to know if you liked it. Maybe in your mind, it was out of the fashion or the color was not to your taste. But you said, “Oh, I really like it” in order not to let her down. It was a lie, but a goodintentioned lie. Conclusion Through the analysis above, this paper shows that the symbolic meanings of color words between English and Chinese cultures have divergences。 and “ 黃色音樂 ” vulgar music, decadent music.
