在我国red(红色)是吉祥喜庆的标志,逢年过节总会用红色来装饰自己的住宅,希望来年能有个好兆头。但在西方国家却是危险的信号。Red flag 是我们在节日中悬挂的表示喜庆之物,而在英语中却可以把它理解为“危险讯号”(a danger signal)。Red light红灯)已被普遍采用为“夜间危险信号”(a light of red colour ud at night as a danger signal)或“禁止车辆通行的信号灯”(a signal to stop vehicles)。不同的文化背景和习俗会对同一颜色有着不同的理解。即使在英国和美国,有时也存在着某些差异。例如 red cap(红帽)在英国是指“宪兵”(a military policeman),而在美国,则指“(火车站为旅客搬行李的)搬运工”(a man who carries things for travellers at railway station)。
