【一起闲话英语】最喜爱的颜色-Favorite Colors

 Adrienne, The United States 

speaker What is my favorite color? I actually don't have a favorite color. I like all colors at certain times and at certain locations, but one color I have difficulty wearing and using in my life is yellow. I don't really like the way it looks, but then again I do like the sun so it's good there, so it just depends on where the color is, whether I like it or not.

 

Barbara, Australia

speaker So, what's my favorite color. Well, for clothes I prefer black or, at a stretch, dark green, burgundy red. Apart from clothes, my favorite color I guess would be green. Green and purple. I love to watch green and purple for furnishings in the house, cushions or carpets. Green and purple go together well I think.

 

Conrad, The United States

speaker My favorite color is blue: navy¹ blue, sky blue, baby blue. All kinds of blue. In fact I am wearing navy blue right now. Blue is just a cool color and I think it matches me and my personality too. I don't like pink so much. It's OK on some people but on me it doesn't match me I don't think.

 

Phil, England

speaker What's my favorite color? My favorite color has to be red because my favorite football team in England is a team called ***** and they always play in red shirts and red shorts. I can't wear red myself because I have ginger² hair and a very red face so I look like a tomato, but it's my favorite color otherwise.

 

Simone, Sweden

speaker What's my favorite color? I really don't have one. It's relative. It depends on my mood or what goes with what because I don't have a favorite color. I like every color.

 

Skip, The United States

speaker What is my favorite color? My favorite color has a long name in English. It's called aqua-marine³. Aqua meaning water and marine meaning, referring to the ocean. It's actually – when you see the shallow⁴ part of the ocean, near the shoreline, that light greenish blue color. It's not quite green. It's not quite blue. Especially when you can see like the sunlight reflecting on the surface, like a little iridescent⁵ aqua-marine, that is my favorite color because it seems like the color of life to me.
