About Colour
What is colour? Why do some objects look red, others green, others blue?
Colour is caused by reflected light rays. Something that is red reflects mostly red light, (it reflects a little green or blue light, too, but we do see it.) in the same way, a green objects reflect all colours of light. Black objects do not reflect light.
What happens to the colour of light that is not reflected is absorbed. Light that is absorbed is turned into heat. For this reason, dark-coloured clothes are warmer in the sunlight than lighter-coloured clothes.
About “Green”
Green is a popular colour. It symbolizes youth and vigour. Meanwhile it has special implications. For example: “Green Great Wall”, “Green Olympic and so on.”
古人对绿色也是情有独钟的。宋代诗人王安石曾写诗一首：井口瓜州一水间，钟山只隔数重山。春风又绿江南岸，明月何时照我还。其中“春风又绿江南岸”一句中的“绿”字据说改了十几次。最初用“到”，改作“过”， 又改作“入”，最后才改定“绿”。一个“绿”字的妙用使得“春风又绿江南岸”成了千古绝句。
Autumn Leaves and Fall Colour
Painters, poets and photographers have long been inspired by fall colour. Getting out in the woods for the annual extravaganza is a joyful experience for those who live and work in the busy, populated city.
During those outings, the sun seemed particularly brilliant, the skies intensely blue. Studies show that fall colours have mood-elevating effect on just about anyone, anywhere.
Autumn can also stimulate scientific musing: what causes leaves to change colour in the first place? Where does the colour come from? Does the change have a practical purpose in nature? And why are the colours spectacular one year, but in another year just so-so?
Essentially, leaf colour begin to change because chlorophyll --- a substance that makes them green---begin to diminish as a result of shorter days and cooler weather
Scientists understand what cause the leaves to change colour, but maybe they know virtually nothing about why they change. What role does this phenomenon play in the nature’s broad scheme of things? Nobody knows. In this book Leaves: Their Amazing Lives and Strange Behavior, researcher Jamers Poling writes: “This is both surprising and puzzling, since nature seldom wastes energy to no purpose. Yet as far as botanists can determine, the chemical energy that goes into the painting of a leaf is of no benefit at all to the plant. The colours seem merely to herald the end of a leaf’s life cycle.”
While the phenomenon of autumn foliage may not have a purpose, falling leaves (regardless of colour) do perform an important role in forest ecology.
Some years, fall colours can be downright dull. The reason has to do with the weather. Excellent colour requires excellent conditions—a stretch of mostly sunny days and cool, but not freezing nights. Excessive rain, a prolonged period of drought or an early freeze can each diminish autumn leaf colour.
For those of us who eagerly await the annual autumn spectacle, there is little need for scientific explanations about what purpose changing leaf colour play in the environment. That is happens is perhaps reason enough to marvel at the power and unpredictability of nature.

Black Friday (倒霉的日子)
在西方，人们常常把倒霉的日子，称为“Black Friday”(即黑色星期五)——即使出事当天并非星期五也这么说。为什么星期五(Friday)会如此不吉利呢？
一、据传星期五是耶稣受难日，那是在复活节前的星期五。在耶稣受难日司祭穿着黑色祭服，因此这个不吉利的日子得名“黑色星期五(Black Friday)”,喻作“倒霉的日子”。如果指“耶稣受难日”，“Black Friday”也写作“Good Friday”.
二、之所以用星期五表示“倒霉的日子”，是因为历史上在星期五发生的灾难事件特别多，其中有在1873年9月13日，美国纽约证券交易股票暴跌，就在同一年又爆发了世界性经济危机，这两天都是星期五。此后，西方人就把“发生灾难性事件的星期五”或“倒霉的日子”称为“黑色星期五”。
西方文化 (衣着Dress 中颜色的讲究)
在什么场合下如何着装在礼仪中是一个十分重要的方面。在正式场合穿着随便，或是在郊游等非正式场合下身穿礼服，都是很不妥当的。衣着本身传送某种信息，譬如说，它可以表明客人对于主人的尊重或是对于某场合的重视等等。
总的来说，衣着趋向简单随便，但在许多场合仍有规律可循。在最正式的场合要求穿带白领结的夜礼服，邀请信上写着“白领结”（white tie），意思就是要求男性客人穿这种礼服。这是一种正式的服装，通常为黑色，上装后部较长，因此又称燕尾服；里面是配套的背心；背心里面穿一种特殊的翘领的白色衬衫，衬衫领口用装饰性的链扣；领结是白色蝴蝶结。由于这种衣服穿的机会很少，人们大多向专门的店铺租赁。事先预订，在活动前一天租到手中。在美国，租金一天需几十到一百美元。这种夜礼服一般是在正式的舞会或者特殊的宴会上才穿。女士在这种场合一般需穿专门为舞会准备的长裙，戴珠宝首饰，也可以穿两件一套的质地高雅的（例如丝绸）衣服。
邀请书上如果写“黑领结”（black tie），意思是男性客人必须穿带黑领结的礼服。这种礼服通常为黑色，但也有人喜欢深蓝色，上装后面没有尾，翻领通常为丝质，可以是单排或双排扣；衬衣为白色，但前胸有装饰；领结通常是黑色蝴蝶结，但也有的年轻人戴颜色鲜艳的丝质蝴蝶结；通常穿黑色皮鞋。在这种情况下，女士可穿长裙或者中长裙，有的女士穿时髦的长裤。这主要取决于时尚。
