　　Han Meimei has read something with the colour words in them. She doesn't understand what they mean. So she went to her teacher, Mrs Green, for help. Here is what they are talking about:

　　Meimei: Good morning, Mr Green. Have, you got a moment?

　　Green: Yes. What can I do for you, Meimei?

　　Meimei: I've come to some sentences that I don't understand. Can you help me?

　　Green: What are they?

　　Meimei: They are words of colour in these sentences on this list :

　　(1) Jack is blue today.

　　(2) She's yellow.

　　(3) He's told a white lie (谎言).

　　(4) Tom has a green thumb (大拇指).

　　Green: In everyday English the word blue means sad. Yellow means afraid sometimes. A person with a green thumb usually grows plants well. When you tell a white lie, you mean not to trouble someone too much. A white lie is not a bad one.

　　Meimei: Would you please give me an example of “a white lie”?

　　Green: Certainly. If I give you a cake and you don't like it, you won't say that you don't like it. Instead you'll say that you are not hungry. That's a white lie.

　　Meimei: I see. Thank you very much.
