各位亲爱的乘客们，欢迎再次乘坐“话说地道美语”的航班，我是此航班的乘务长Juliet。欢迎回到“话说地道美语”第四模块——答疑解惑的聊天室中来。
我们说到了green表示颜色的词，与它相关的一个习语是green hand，意思是新手，菜鸟，缺乏经验的人。它和别的词在一起也非常的有趣，下面我们就来猜猜它们的意思，一个是green fingers，一个是green with envy。
我们通过下面的例句来猜一猜green fingers的意思。If you have green fingers, you are good at making plants grow. 如果你有......，你就很会种植植物。那么green fingers的意思就是园艺技能，种植技能。在美国，通常用green thumbs。
我们再来看2个例句来熟悉green fingers这个词语。Eg . My mother's got green fingers and she can grow anything in her small garden. 我母亲有高超的种植技能，能在小花园中种出任何东西。I can't tell a dahlia from a daffodil, but my wife has very green thumbs. 我连天竺牡丹和水仙也分辨不清，但我的妻子却是园艺能手。
接下来，我们来通过下面的句子猜猜第二个词语green with envy的意思。She who desired for marriage day and night was green with envy when she found out that her best friend got married before her. 她想结婚想疯了，当她知道她最好的朋友结婚了，她就......那么green with envy就是十分地妒忌的，嫉妒的，眼红的意思。
我们再来通过2个例句熟悉它的意思。Eg. Her sister has been given a gold wristwatch and she goes green with envy. 人家送给她姐姐一块金表,她心中十分妒忌。 The other boys were green with envy when Joe bought a second-hand car! 男孩们看到Joe买了一辆二手货的车，心中满怀嫉妒。
关于含有green的一些复合词也非常的有趣。例如：Green-back means"an American dollar". 意思是美元。Green-grocers means "a person who owns , manages, or works in a shop selling fruit and vegetables". 意思是果菜商贩。Green-house means " a building with glass sides and a glass roof for growing plants". 意思是温室，暖房。
