黑頭發(fā)是black hair，但黑眼睛卻不是black eyes，大家在中英表達(dá)的切換中一定要注意這些小陷阱。

　　在英文中，dark eyes表示“黑眼睛，深色的眼珠”，而black eye表示的是“挨打之后的青眼圈”，即：

　　A bruise near one’s eye

　　(被毆打所致的)烏青的眼眶

　　例句：

　　Fred came home with a horrible black eye today, but he won’t tell us what happened!

　　弗雷德青著眼睛回家，卻怎么也不告訴我們到底發(fā)生了什么!

　　除此之外，還有許多與黑色相關(guān)的英文表達(dá)容易被誤解，千萬不要踩坑哦~

　　Black and white

　　非黑即白的，即考慮問題的方式，非黑即白的，絕對(duì)化的。

　　Our boss always thinks that everything is straightforward, but he doesn’t realize that this whole situation is not as black and white as he thinks!

　　老板想問題總是太簡單。他根本意識(shí)不到情況并非向他想的那樣非黑即白!

　　Put sth down in black and white

　　白紙黑字，在紙上寫下內(nèi)容，用以確認(rèn)或證明

　　I don't understand why you don't believe me! Look, it's written here in black and white!

　　白紙黑字?jǐn)[在這，你為什么就是不信我!

　　Black as night
