今天店铺分享的是颜色的英文谚语俗语，希望你会喜欢。
颜色的英文谚语俗语：白色【white elephant】贵重却无用反而成为负担的财产在印度、里兰卡(从前称为锡兰)、泰国、缅甸等国白象(white elephant)被视为神圣不可侵犯的动物，人们从不会让它们劳作。
据说要饲养一头“white elephant”花费惊人。
所以从前中亚的国王对看不顺眼的大臣就赐给白象，使他为饲养御赐的白象而倾家荡产。
源自此一典故“white elephant”一词后来演变而指比其价值或效用所需费用庞大而不成比例者，或虽然不需要但难于处理之物品了。
例：The foreign aid to the country was believed to be nothing but a white elephant.(那个国家得到的外援不但无益而且成了沉重的负担。
)When he planned to sell his house, his expensive furniture became white elephants.(他想要卖房子的时候，他的昂贵的家具成了累赘。
)由于“white elephant”有上述的意思，因而出现了“a white elephant sale”(白象义卖)。
不过这种以慈善为目的的义卖，所卖的不是白象，而是有心人士所捐出的家里不再需要之物品。
颜色的英文谚语俗语：黑色【In black and white】白纸黑字，书面的;印刷的;简言之出自莎士比亚《小题大做 / Much Ado About Nothing》【In the black】盈利 [相对于赤字(in the red)亏损]【Like the black hole of Calcutta】形容拥挤、不通风的环境。
