与白色有关的社会内涵

（1）白色的大象指的是”贵而无用之物，因为白象被尊为神，谁要得到了这么个礼物，注定是要被害惨的。

试想谁有能力来供奉一尊活神呢？

我国曾有某一品牌为”白象”的产品，投放国际市场后，始终打不开销路，究其原因，恰是白象译名作怪。

（2）中国人有句话叫”美丽的谎言”。

当朋友想请你吃饭，而你又不想让他破费，便骗他说你已经吃过了美国人把这种不台恶意，有时带有善意的谎言称为善意的谎言。

（3）美国有一首非常流行的歌《白色圣诞》”白色圣诞节”。

为什么圣诞是白色的呢？

这是指当时大雪纷飞或是雪花满地。

其实，白含有”多雪的”（雪）意思。

比如白色的冬天就是指大雪纷飞的冬日。

这和中国的”瑞雪兆丰年”的意思相似。

（三）黑色

1。

汉语

黑眼镜太阳眼镜黑货水货黑心肠邪恶的思想黑话不能黑体字粗体黑咕隆咚漆黑的黑死病瘟疫黑更半夜在深夜黑手党黑手党黑不溜秋黝黑

2。

英语一汉语

黑色领带正式社交场合是黑色的心情情绪低落在黑赢利倒霉的一天倒霉的日子黑市非法市场囚车囚车，巡警车黑色和蓝色遍体鳞伤黑色钻石煤黑咖啡咖啡，纯咖啡忘恩负义忘恩负义红茶红茶黑风口泻药

3。

与黑色有关的社喜内涵

（1）一些带有迷信观念的外国人最忌”黑色星期五。

黑色星期五一般指星期五又逢L3号的耶一天，迷信者会尽量减少外出以免灾祸临头黑色艺术是不可思议的妖术，在中古时代的欧洲，如被怀疑具有黑色艺术的人是要被判处死刑的。

（2）黑羊字面上的意思是”黑羊”，实际是指集体中的败类、败家子。

它源于英国古代的迷信传说过去英国人认为黑色羊毛的羊羔是魔鬼的化身，因此牧羊人总觉得一只黑羊挤在一群白羊中很不吉利。

黑色的羊毛也值不了多少钱，被当成无用的东西。

这样黑羊就转义为”无用之人，败家子”。

相当于汉语的”害群之马”。
