有关颜色的英语俗语（Idioms）
有关颜色的英语俗语(Idioms)黑色：【In blackand white】白纸黑字，书面的；印刷的；简言之出自莎士比亚《小题大做 / Much Ado AboutNothin g》【In the black】盈利 [相对于赤字（in the red）亏损]【Like the blackhole of Calcut ta】形容拥挤、不通风的环境。
“加尔各答的黑洞”指的是18世纪加尔各答的威廉城堡中的一个地牢。
1756年，英国人在印度建立的贸易中心——东印度公司为了预防与法国军队可能的冲突，开始在公司总部威廉城堡周围加强防御工事。
当时的印度行政长官警告他们停止下来，没人理他，于是他夜袭威廉城堡，把146个英国俘虏关在一个小不点儿地牢里，拥挤程度至于所有人都得站着，排得密密的，根本没有坐的空间。
高温加上空气不流通，到了第二天一早只有23人还活着。
当然这是英国方面的说法，印度人拒绝承认此事，声称这是个杜撰的故事，一个让大英帝国对孟加拉实施军事手段的借口。
历史究竟怎样我们已经不得而知了，但是这个俗语就这么流传下来了。
【to be in someon e’s blackbook(s)】在某人黑名册上；不受某人喜爱，失宠于某人官方用黑皮书有很长的历史了。
最早的始于十二世纪后期，由财政大臣掌管，用于记录皇室收入。
到了14世纪，类似的黑皮书被用于记录航海事务。
但是咱们这条俗语中的黑皮书指的是亨利八世时期关于修道院腐败调查记录的官方报告，用来记录罪恶、堕落、品行不端、淫荡、令人憎恶的人。
当时亨利八世试图极力削弱宗教势力以脱离罗马教皇统治，因此黑名册上记录的都是所谓的犯了罪的修道院的教士名字【the blacksheepof the family】害群之马，败家子牧羊人不喜欢黑绵羊，因为它们的毛不如白羊毛值钱，而且又染不成白色。

I’ve got a ____ in my throat
Those are just ______tears He’s taken the lion share I can smell a ___
Let’s see, if you understand the peculiar meaning of some common idioms!
Idioms
Idioms are phrases which people use in everyday language which do not make sense literally but we understand what they mean
An idiom is an expression that has a meaning apart from the meanings of its individual words.
So can you define ‘idiom’?
Food for thought
Taking two bits of the cherry Selling like hot cakes Playing gooseberry Going bananas
These idioms are all about food. Can you explain what they really y boy raised in a small town in Northumberland and was like a fish out of water when he visited bustling London.
What does this mean really?
Feel like a fish out of water Be like a fish out of water
Meaning: Feel uncomfortable because you are in an unfamiliar situation. If you feel like a fish out of water, you feel awkward or uncomfortable because you are in an unusual or unfamiliar situation. Example: I don't like going to the big parties they have. I always feel like a fish out of water there.
And this?
And what about this one?
Numbers up
Lots of idioms are about numbers. See if you can fill in the missing numbers in these says. What do they mean?
Dressed up to the ______ Talking ___ to the dozen
One in a ______
Playing ______ fiddle In _______ heaven
Animal Crackers
It’s raining ____ and dogs!
For example: It’s raining cats and dogs. Its literal meaning suggests that cats and dogs are falling from the sky. We interpret it to mean that it is raining hard. Other Examples: To stick your neck out is to say or do something that is bold and a bit dangerous. A similar idiom that is used for slightly more dangerous situations is to "go out on a limb." In both idioms, the idea is that you put yourself in a vulnerable position. To break the ice is to be the first one to say or do something, with the expectation that others will then follow. Another idiom that means something similar is "get the ball rolling." To get long in the tooth means to get old. The expression was originally used when referring to horses since gums recede with age. So the longer the teeth a horse has, the older it is said to be. To have a chip on one's shoulder is usually an expression to describe a person who acts, as you say, rudely or aggressively, but also in a manner that could be described as "aggressively defensive." The person seems always ready for a fight.
