Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20th century.A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命) is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the colour used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The greeneyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play Othello.

Orphans(孤儿) and patients can also enjoy people's greetings. In fact, anyone may get a gift on that day.
