So I'm really excited about this vocabulary lesson because well I'm not sure maybe some of my regular viewers have noticed that I've got a green screen going on in my studio which means I can play around with the colours on screen and show you what I'm talking about in this lesson. So I can easily go like this and like this and I can show you the colours that I'm talking about.
我对这节词汇课感到非常兴奋，因为我不确定我的一些老观众是否注意到我的工作室里有一个绿幕，这意味着我可以在屏幕上放各种颜色，向你展示我在本课中所说的内容。所以我可以很容易地这样，这样，我可以向你展示我正在谈论的颜色。
Now if your brain went: Yep that was white, that was brown, that was purple, you're going to love this lesson because I've got some much better, much more accurate words to describe the different shades of colours in English. Now that is a great collocation to learn.
如果你的脑子在想：是的，那是白色的，那是棕色的，那是紫色的，那你肯定会喜欢这节课的，因为我有一些更好、更准确的词来描述英语中不同深浅的颜色。这是一个很好的搭配可以学习。
We use the word shades to talk about different versions of the same colour. There are many different shades of yellow or different shades of green.
我们使用深浅这个词来谈论相同颜色的不同版本。有许多不同深浅的黄色或不同深浅的绿色。
And that is exactly how we're going to move through this lesson. We're going to focus on shades of the same colour.
我们就会这样完成本节课程。我们将侧重于相同颜色的深浅。
We'll get started with shades of yellow and brown. So the first colour is lemon.
我们将从不同深浅的黄色和棕色开始。所以第一种颜色是柠檬黄。
So lemon is this pale yellow colour. It's not quite as intense as yellow.
所以柠檬黄就是这种淡黄色。它不像黄色那么强烈。
In fact, this colour is often referred to as canary yellow so see the difference already? We've got two shades of yellow but there's so much difference between them.
事实上，这种颜色通常被称为金丝雀黄，所以你已经看出区别了吗？我们有两种黄色调，但它们之间有很大的不同。
This is lemon yellow and you'll notice that many of these words actually reference the world around us, maybe food, flowers, nature so watch out for these extra words throughout the lesson. These colours that remind us of something else in nature.
这是柠檬黄，你会注意到其中许多词实际上是指我们周围的世界，可能是食物、鲜花、自然，因此在整个课程中要注意这些额外的词。这些颜色让我们想起自然界中的其他事物。
So this is lemon yellow. Now this is mustard.
所以这是柠檬黄。现在这是芥末黄。
It's a muted, darker yellow colour, isn't it? Quite fashionable.
它是一种柔和的深黄色，对吧？非常时尚。
So muted means that it's not bright or shiny. You can see that this colour isn't as bright as the lemon colour or the canary yellow and actually as I'm talking, I'm thinking that one of the really cool things about colours in English is that most of the time you can add aY so we could say mustardy.
柔和的意思是它不明亮，不闪。你可以看到这种颜色不像柠檬黄或金丝雀黄色那么明亮，实际上，正如我所说，我认为英语中关于颜色的一个非常酷的事情是，大多数时候你可以添加一个 Y，所以我们可以说是芥末色的。
The new car they bought was mustardy brown. So it's really great if you're not quite sure of the colour or the shades.
他们买的新车是芥末棕色的。因此，如果你不太确定颜色或色调的话，那就太好了。
You could say: The clouds in the sky were a bluey-grey or a bluish-grey.
你可以说：天空中的云是蓝灰色或蓝灰色。
These are ways to say that it's sort of that colour, a little bit of that colour, a hint of that colour but not completely. Now this is tawny.
这是用来表示它有点那种颜色，但又不完全是那种颜色。这是黄褐色。
It's this Light brown to orange colour. Now light is a really great way to describe colours that are not dark or strong and it's often used when little bits of white or lots of white is mixed in with the colour so it becomes lighter.
这是浅棕色和橙色中间的一个颜色。Light 是描述不暗或不强烈的颜色的一种非常好的方式，通常在将少量白色或大量白色与这种颜色混合以使其变得更亮时使用。
And there are a few different ways to describe this. Another one will come up later on.
有几种不同的方式可以用来描述。稍后会出现另一个。
But I want you to keep an eye out or an ear out for these other adverbs and adjectives that you can use to change the shade of colours in English. Next up we've got bronze.
但我希望你留意这些其他副词和形容词，你可以用它们来改变英语中的颜色深浅。接下来是青铜色。
Now that's a really tricky consonant cluster there, it's just one syllable, that E is silent, bronze. So bronze is this metallic brown colour and the adjective metallic is used to describe something that is shiny so often the paint on cars has that sparkle, that shine in it.
这是一个非常棘手的辅音丛，它只有一个音节，E 是不发音的，青铜色的。青铜色就是这种金属棕色，形容词“有金属光泽的”用于描述有光泽的东西，所以汽车上的油漆经常是闪闪发光的。
It's metallic. And funny enough we use this colour bronze to describe really tanned skin at the beach.
这是有金属光泽的。有趣的是，我们使用这种青铜色来描述海滩上晒黑的皮肤。
So if you've ever been to an Italian beach in summer you will see lots of very bronzed people. Now we have peach.
如果你曾在夏天去过意大利海滩的话，你会看到很多古铜色皮肤的人。现在是桃色。
Make sure you're really landing that last consonant sound there, that CH sound. Exaggerate it if you have to while you're practising out loud with me.
一定要把最后一个辅音发出来，CH 音。当你和我一起大声练习时，你可以说得夸张一点。
Peach. Good.
桃色。很好。
So peach is a colour and a fruit of course, and it's this beautiful shade of orange, yellow, white and a touch of pink. So technically white is not a colour but it is so useful to know different ways to describe white because there are so many like this is pearl white.
所以桃子是一种颜色，也是一种水果，它是橙色、黄色、白色和一点淡淡的粉红色合成的美丽色调。因此，严格说来，白色不是一种颜色，但了解描述白色的不同方式非常有用，因为像珍珠白这样的颜色太多了。
And it usually has a bit of a shine or a sparkle in it, much like an actual pearl so it's that little rainbowy shine over the top of white. And pearl is often used to describe the really beautiful white of a car, not the flat white colour but the one with the little sheen of colour through it.
它通常有一点光泽或闪光，就像一颗真正的珍珠一样，所以这是白色上面的彩虹般的小光泽。珍珠白通常被用来形容汽车那种美丽的白色，不是纯白色，而是带有一点点颜色光泽的白色。
Pearl white teeth, very, very white teeth and often makeup as well uses pearl white or pearl to describe that beautiful coloured sheen. Now this one is a little tricky to pronounce.
珍珠白的牙齿，就是非常非常白的牙齿，化妆当中也经常用珍珠白或珍珠色来形容美丽的彩色光泽。这个发音有点小困难。
How do you think this word would be pronounced? Beige.
你觉得这个词应该怎么发音？米色的。
So can you hear that sound? It's not very common in English but you do hear it in words like measure and vision.
你能听出来那个音吗？这在英语中并不常见，但你会在度量和视觉等词中听到。
So this word is beige. So I would describe beige as a pale, dull brown colour.
这个词是米色的。我会将米色描述为一种苍白、暗褐色的颜色。
It doesn't pop, it doesn't stand out, it's not bright. Interestingly, you can also use this word as an adjective to describe someone's personality.
它不扎眼，不突出，不明亮。有趣的是，你也可以使用这个词作为形容词来描述某人的个性。
It's definitely not a positive adjective to describe a person like this because it means that they are dull, kind of boring, they're a bit beige. Then we have cream.
形容一个人是这样的并不是一个积极的形容词，因为这意味着他们很沉闷，有点无聊，好像米色一样。然后是奶油色。
So cream is a mix of a little yellow and white and of course, it references the cream that we use in cooking so you can imagine that, right? A cream that you would add to your pasta or dessert, right?
奶油色是一点黄色和白色的混合色，当然了，它也指我们在烹饪中使用的奶油，所以你可以想象一下，对吧？可以添加到意大利面或甜点中的奶油，对吗？
It's inspired by that colour. And this is ivory.
它的灵感就来自那种颜色。这是象牙色。
So ivory has a little bit more brown, there's a stronger tint of brown than cream because cream is white with a little tint of yellow, this is white with a little tint of brown, right? So you can see the slight variation here and how useful it is to be able to describe colour, shades like this with slightly different variations to have different words to describe it and be more specific.
所以象牙色中有一点棕色，棕色比奶油色更浓，因为奶油色是白色带一点黄色，这是白色带一点棕色，对吧？因此，你可以在此处看到细微的变化，以及能够像这样使用不同的词来更加具体地描述具有略微不同变化的色调是多么有用。
So now let's talk about shades of red and orange. We have auburn.
所以现在让我们来谈谈红色和橙色的色调吧。我们有赤褐色。
It's the same vowel sound in door. So you can hear it has two syllables auburn.
它和“door”的元音是一样的。你可以听到它有两个音节：赤褐色。
And the first one is the stressed one, the second one reduces to the schwa, auburn. Auburn is this rich red-brown colour and it is most commonly used to describe hair.
第一个是重读的，第二个缩读成了一个中元音，赤褐色。赤褐色是这种浓郁的红棕色，最常用于描述头发。
Do you know anyone or can you think of anyone who has auburn coloured hair? So this is burgundy.
你认识什么人，或者你能想到有赤褐色头发的人吗？这是勃艮第红。
It's a deep red colour with really strong hints of purple and deep is a really lovely word to describe a strong dark colour. It's often used with dark shades of red, green, blue, even purple, so we use deep to describe that, like the deep, dark depths of the ocean.
这是一种深红色，带着非常浓郁的紫色和深红色，这是一个非常可爱的词来描述浓郁的深色。它通常与红色、绿色、蓝色甚至紫色的深色调一起使用，因此我们使用 deep 这个词来描述它，比如说暗黑的海洋深处。
It's that really, really, deep, deep blue. So we use it with some darker colours to add that extra extra stronger meaning than just dark.
这是很深，很深的蓝色。我们会将它与一些更深的颜色一起使用，以添加比暗更强烈的含义。
Let's talk about some beautiful shades of pink now starting with coral. So as you can see, this colour is a blend between bright pink and orange.
现在让我们谈谈一些美丽的粉红色调，从珊瑚色开始。如你所见，这种颜色是亮粉色和橙色的混合。
You remember me speaking about bright colours earlier right? We often use bright together with a colour to talk about one that really pops out so we say bright pink, bright yellow, bright orange.
你记得我之前说过鲜艳的颜色吗？我们经常将“明亮的”与一种颜色一起使用，来谈论比较亮眼的颜色，所以我们会说亮粉色、亮黄色、亮橙色。
Speaking of bright, this is fuchsia. I love this word.
说到明亮的颜色，这是紫红色。我超爱这个词。
The spelling makes it really difficult to try and pronounce right but if you close your eyes and you just listen to the words that I'm saying, the sounds that I'm making, it might be a little easier. Fuchsia.
拼写导致很难正确发音，但如果你闭上眼睛，只听我说的话，听我发出的音，可能会容易一些。紫红色的。
Fuchsia is this vibrant, pinkish, purple colour and you can use vibrant to describe a colour that is really strong and lively, it's sharp, it's intense. So vibrant, I'm sure you can guess is the opposite of muted and dull.
紫红色是这种充满活力的粉紫色，你可以使用“充满活力的”来描述非常浓郁和活泼的颜色，它很鲜明，很强烈。所以“vibrant”这个词，我相信你能猜到是muted 和 dull 的反义词。
Okay so vibrant is very full of life. Now magenta is also another fabulous shade of pink.
好的，所以“vibrant”是非常充满活力的。洋红色也是另一种美妙的粉红色。
It's quite similar to fuchsia because it's blended with purple, magenta. So we've got three syllables there.
它与紫红色非常相似，因为它混合了紫色，洋红色。这里有三个音节。
Can you hear where the strongest stress is? Magenta.
你能听到最强的重音在哪里吗？洋红色。
It's on that second syllable. Magenta really is like this hot pink that has this tone of purple in it.
是在第二个音节上。洋红色类似于这种带有紫色调的亮粉色。
It's really bright and intense like it might almost be burning your eyeballs a little bit right now, I hope not. Let's go through some shades of blue and green now.
它真的很明亮很强烈，感觉要灼伤你的眼球一样，我希望没有。现在让我们来看看一些蓝色和绿色的色调。
Starting with teal. This is teal.
从青色开始。这是青色。
So it's just one syllable and it's this lovely blue-green colour, very calming, teal, which is different to aqua. So in English, the name for this bluish green colour is aqua and that colour is very similar to aquamarine which is this bright greenish-blue colour, a little different.
所以它只有一个音节，这是一种可爱的蓝绿色，非常平静，蓝绿色，与湖绿色不同。在英语中，这种蓝绿色的名称是“湖绿色”，这种颜色与海蓝宝石色非常相似，海蓝宝石色是这种明亮的绿蓝色，略有不同。
Notice how I said bluish-green for aqua and greenish-blue for aquamarine. This quite literally is the definition of the difference between the two of them.
请注意我说的“aqua”是蓝绿色，而“aquamarine”是绿蓝色。从字面上看，这就是对两者之间差异的定义。
They're very similar in colour, tone right, one is a little more green, the other is a little more blue. They're similar but not quite the same as turquoise.
它们的颜色和色调非常相似，一个更绿一点，另一个更蓝一点。它们与绿松石色相似，但不完全相同。
So it's another really tricky one to say if you're just looking at the word. Turquoise.
因此，如果你只是看这个词的话，它说起来也是比较困难的。绿松石色。
Again, turquoise is a mix between a brilliant blue and a brilliant green. Now the adjective brilliant means that it glistens, it shines.
同样地，绿松石色是亮蓝色和亮绿色之间的混合。形容词“brilliant”意味着它闪闪发光，非常闪耀。
It reminds you of shallow water on a pristine, tropical beach doesn't it, right? Just imagine that.
它让你想起原始热带海滩上的浅水，对吧？想象一下。
So instead of saying: Look at the stunning blue water. You could say:
所以不要说：看看这绝美的蓝色的水。你可以说：
Look at the stunning turquoise water. Much more impressive.
看看令人惊叹的绿松石色的水。更加令人印象深刻了。
And then we've got emerald. It's this really vivid green.
然后是祖母绿色。这是一种鲜艳的绿色。
Now vivid is a great way to describe a colour that is really strong and it's bright, it's vivid green. That's a really great collocation to learn, vivid with a colour.
现在，“vivid”是用来描述非常强烈、明亮、鲜艳的绿色的绝佳词汇。这是一个很棒的搭配供大家学习，鲜艳生动的色彩。
Must be a bright colour, vivid and vibrant are very, very similar. Let's talk about some shades of purple.
必须是明亮的颜色，生动的和充满活力的非常非常相似。让我们谈谈紫色的不同色调吧。
This is mauve. So mauve rhymes with stove if you want to practise.
这是淡紫色。如果你想练习的话，那么用“stove”和“mauve”进行押韵。
Mauve. And it's quite a beautiful colour, a light violet or a light purple colour but it's not quite as light as lavender.
淡紫色。它是一种非常漂亮的颜色，淡淡的紫色，但不像薰衣草那么淡。
Can you say it? It's got three syllables, our stress is on the first syllable and lavender is a light purple colour.
你能说出来吗？它有三个音节，我们的重音在第一个音节上，而薰衣草是一种浅紫色。
It's a mix between pale blue and pale red. Now I've mentioned pale a few times already through this lesson.
它是淡蓝色和淡红色的混合。我已经在本课中多次提到了“pale”这个词。
It's an adjective that you can use when you want to describe colours that are softer and lighter and they're less intense so often it means that they've mixed with white and become lighter but pale is another way to describe light. So that's it.
这是一个形容词，当你想描述更柔和、更亮且不那么强烈的颜色时，你可以使用它，这意味着它们与白色混合并变得更亮，但“pale”是描述光的另一种方式。就是这样啦。
I hope this lesson brightened up your day a little or at least made it more colourful and now you've got twenty advanced English colours, adjectives and other collocations that you can be using when you're describing the world around you. In fact, I have a short homework task for you.
