分享到
紅色和黃色是秋天的代表顏色,但除了red和yellow之外,還能用什么詞匯描述這兩種色調(diào)?我們整理了10個關(guān)于秋色的表達, feuille morte(枯葉黃)、amber(琥珀色)、gamboge(藤黃)……學會這些單詞,你也可以寫出詩般優(yōu)美的句子了。
1. Feuille morte [f?j-m??]
枯葉黃
In French, the term literally means "dead leaf." In English, feuille morte refers specifically to a brownish-orange or yellowish-brown color. The synonymous derivative, philamot, can also be used to describe the brownish, yellowish colors in autumn foliage.
Feuille morte(枯葉黃)在法語中的意思是“枯葉”。在英語中,feuille morte專指橙褐色或黃褐色。其同義詞philamot,也可以用來描述褐色、黃色的秋葉。
2. Sepia [sepja]
深棕色
In modern English, sepia is best known as the name for the brownish tone that makes photographs look vintage. Sepia hues can be found in an autumn leaf—and in the ocean.
在現(xiàn)代英語中,sepia為人熟知的意思是指復古照片的棕色調(diào)。秋葉和海洋中就有這種顏色。
Originally, the word was applied to the cuttlefish, a creature related to the squid and octopus that, when alarmed, releases an inky secretion. In the 19th century, watercolor painters began using sepia secretion to create a rich, brown pigment, which became known as sepia. A common description of the color is brownish gray to dark olive brown.
Sepia的本意指墨魚,這種生物和烏賊、章魚屬于同類,受到驚嚇時,會釋放出一種污黑的分泌物。19世紀時,水彩畫家們開始用墨魚的分泌物制作色彩濃厚的棕色顏料,稱之為sepia。對這種顏色最普遍的描述是介于棕灰色和深橄欖棕色之間的一種顏色。
