World of color idioms

Na engleskom, postoji mnogo idioma. Oni su kompleksni i ponekad nespretan redoslijed riječi, ali su vrlo korisne jer daju priliku da se bolje upoznaju sa svijetom fraza, engleskog govornog područja članovima porodice. Među njima postoji niz izraza, usko povezana sa bojama, naime, sve omiljene duginih boja koja je dobro radoznao um uče engleski jezik. Ono što mogu izvući korisne žute, crvene ili zelene «semafor»?

Pogledajmo na tabeli:

In the	black
Golden	opportunity
Be	browned off
Look	blue
Tickled	pink
Silver	screen
White	elephant
White	-collar worker

Pred nama je skup fraze u kojima dva ili tri riječi su ujedinjeni zdrav razum i obavezno nose konstitutivni element, naime boja. I sad ja predlažem da pokuša kombinirati fraze i slike ispod. Ne boj se ako ne dođu do njega brzo i odmah učiniti. Neophodno je da mislim da je malo, i svi postrojeni samo po sebi!

Dakle, vi ste sigurno dobili probati i ..? Pa, naravno, da ćete dobiti točno najbolji rezultat (možete usporediti moju verziju sa vašim!)

In the black

Be browned off (She’s really browned off at you. — off na vas -. To je na tebi zlo kao đavo).
Look blue (He looks blue today after that quarrel. – da svađe -. To nije zabavno nakon toga svađe).

White-collar worker (I am just a white-collar worker, the office plankton, as people say. – jedan bijelo-okovratnik radnika, ured planktona, jer ljudi kažu -. Ja sam samo White Collar — ured plankton — mišljenje ljudi).

I zamislite da ćete biti u restoranu ili na zabavi u grupi engleskog govornog predstavnika; Mogao bi baciti veliki broj pitanja o kojima bi zvučalo dalje iznad idioma. Na primjer:

1. Are you a white-collar worker? Tell about your company.

2. What do you think about Ukrainian blue screen?

3. Have you ever got any white elephant from your relatives or grandparents?

4. Are you tickled pink if you get a nice present from somebody?

5. How often do you look blue or browned off?

6. Do you expect some golden opportunity in the nearest future?

7. Are you always in the black?

Mislim da nećete izgubiti lice, i mirno odgovori na pitanja.
