We say were “in the pink” when we are in good health. It is very easy to understand how this expression was born. When my face has a nice fresh colour, pink colour, it is a sign that my health is good. The colour green is natural for tree; it is an unnatural colour for humans. When someone doesnt feel well, someone who is sick, we use this word. For example, when someone doesnt have what someone else has, we say he is “green with envy”. Some people are “green with envy” because someone else has more dollars, or “greenbacks”. Dollars is called greenback because thats the colour of the backside of the money. Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blue music of American blacks is the opposite of red hot music. It is slow, sad and soulful（深情的）. To be blue, of course, is to be sad. The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a “black day”. A“black sheep” is the member of a family or a group who always seems to be in trouble. If someone meets a “black cat”, something unlucky might happen to him. Not all the “black” expressions have bad meanings. A company “in the red” is losing money. If someone tells you to put something “in black and white”, they want you to write it down. ( ) 1.After reading the passage, we can infer if someone “looks gray”, he_.
