另一颜色的马
中国人很早就懂得赛马。
战国时,齐将田忌听孙膑指点,以下等马赛齐王的上等马,再以上等马赛他的中等马,中等马赛他的下
等马,结果是彼此用的马匹虽然同样分三等,田忌却轻而易举以两胜一负成绩赢了
千金赌注(《史记.孙子吴起列傅》)。
西方人当然也喜欢赛马。
据说,古时西方赛马为求容易辨认,骑士会骑不同颜色的马。
把赌注押在某一名骑士身上的人,当然不
希望“另一颜色的马(horse of a different colour/horse of another colour)”取胜。
现在,赛马一般不会计较马的颜色了,但horse of a different colour 这成语依然广泛流传,只是意思变了,解作“完全另一回事”,例如∶ I thought you would help. If I am to do it all by myself, that is a horse of another colour.(我本来以为
你会帮忙;假如要我独力去做,那就完全是另一回事了。
)

有关颜色的英语俗语(Idioms)10页
有关颜色的英语俗语(Idioms)10页BlueBlue在英语中常表示不快,例如in a blue mood, having the blues 表示“情绪低沉、忧郁、沮丧等”。
(1) A blue Monday这个俚语表示过了愉快、幸福的周末,星期一又要上班或上学了,所以情绪不佳,可以理解为倒霉的星期一。
例句:It was blue Monday, and he just didn’t feel like going back to work.又是倒霉的星期一,该上班了,他可真不愿意。
(2)Blue blood“蓝血贵族”源自西班牙王室,常用“蓝血”代表欧洲贵族和名门出身者。
所以这个俚语表示社会地位高、有权势或出身贵族或王族。
He is a real blue blood.他是真正的贵族。
(3 Blue ribbon在十四、十五世纪,人们对于在某种竞技或决斗中获胜者的奖励便是给其佩戴一条蓝色的缎带,于是便出现了blue ribbon一词。
后来又用来比喻“优秀的,一流的”,表示上层的,高端的(人、团体)。
例句:And our goal is to make the blue ribbon brand and service.公司的目标是:“做一流的品牌、一流的服务”。
(4 Talk a blue streakA blue streak,原来指闪电,闪电一闪即逝,是非常迅速的过程,所以常用来描述快速的行动。
而在这个俚语里描述是说话其快无比。
所以,这个短语的意思是:滔滔不绝,不停地说话。
The woman in the hospital bed next to me talked a blue streak all day. I don’t know wher e she got the energy.我病床旁的那个女人总是滔滔不绝,讲个不停。
我不知道她哪来那么多能量的。
(5 Blue pencil这个词语除了能翻译成“蓝色的铅笔”外,也可以理解成“修订、编辑、删除”的意思,可以作为动词和名词用。
