Mary didn't understand such sentences as“He is blue today”,“He has a green thumb（拇指）”,“He has told a little white lie”and so on. And she went to her teacher for help.

　　Mary: Mrs. Smith, there is a colour in each of these sentences. What do they mean?

　　Mrs: Smith: In everyday English, blue sometimes means sad. Yellow--afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well. And a white lie is not a bad one.

　　Mary: Would you give me an example for“a white lie”?

　　Mrs. Smith: Certainly. Now I give you some cakes. In fact you don't like it, but you won't say it. Instead, you say,“No, thanks. I'm not hungry.”That's a white lie.

Mary: Oh, I see. Thank you very much.
