   看到白色,使人觉得纯洁可爱,白色象征真理、光芒、纯洁、贞节、清白和快乐,给人以明快清新的感觉。


  白色(white)在汉语和英语的联想意义中都有纯洁和清白的意思,但也有一些含义上的不同。例如,汉民族文化中,白色与死亡、丧事相联系,如“红白喜事”中的“白”指丧事(funeral),表示哀悼。但在英语文化中,white表示幸福和纯洁,如新娘在婚礼上穿白色礼服,代表爱情的纯洁和婚姻的贞洁。
  英语中的white有时表达的含义,与汉语中的“白色”没有什么关系,如:
  a white lie 善意的谎言
  the white coffee 牛奶咖啡
  white man 善良的人,有教养的人
  white-livered 怯懦的
  white elephant 昂贵又无用之物
  汉语中有些与“白”字搭配的词组,实际上与英语white所表示的颜色也没有什么联系,而是表达另外的含义,如:
  白开水 plain boiled water
  白菜 Chinese cabbage
  白字 wrongly written or mispronounced character
  白搭 no use
  白费事 all in vain
