Color

　　1. What’s your favorite colour and why?

　　Green. Most definitely green. I love the colour green as it reminds me of nature, the countryside, trees, valleys of lush vegetation, mountains and forests. Green, all shades of green, makes me think of the wonders of the natural world.

　　绿色的。绝对是绿色。我喜欢绿色，因为它让我想起了大自然、乡村、树木、植被茂盛的山谷、山脉和森林。绿色，各种色调的绿色，让我想到自然界的奇迹。

　　2. What colours are the walls of the rooms in your home?

　　The walls of my home are fairly simple, really. They are a sort of cream colour, just off-white. They look attractive, though, because there’s a lot of framed pictures on them. I think this is the best way to decorate a fairly simple small city flat, really. Plain walls and tasteful pictures.

　　我家的墙壁相当简单，真的。它们是一种奶油色，只是灰白色的。不过它们看起来很吸引人，因为上面有很多装裱好的照片。我想这是装饰一个相当简单的小城市公寓的最好方法，真的。朴素的墙壁和有品位的图片。

　　3. Do you prefer dark colours or bright colours?

　　For the home, I definitely prefer lighter and brighter colours. I think they make a space look larger and more uplifting. But for certain types of places I think rich, dark colours can be very attractive. Like an old restaurant or a cinema or places like this where you want to feel the walls closing in around you more and a really strong and perhaps elegant emotional atmosphere, but generally I prefer bright colours for a home, that’s for sure.

　　对于住家，我肯定更喜欢浅色和明亮的颜色。我认为它们能让空间看起来更大，更振奋人心。但对于某些类型的地方，我认为丰富的深色系也是非常有吸引力的。比如老餐厅或者电影院之类的地方，你想感受到墙壁更多的向你周围靠拢，感受到一种真正强烈的或许是优雅的情感氛围，但是一般来说，对于住家来说，我更喜欢明亮的色彩，这是肯定的。

　　4. Do any colours have a special meaning in your culture?

　　I think red has always been a special colour in China, from the days of ancient China and the dragon symbols to the modern day China, red has always been a symbol of strength, prosperity, hope and honour for the Chinese. Most definitely red and gold are colours which have a very special meaning in my culture and deep cultural roots.

　　我觉得红色在中国一直是一种特殊的颜色，从中国古代的龙的象征时代到现代的中国，红色一直是中国人力量、繁荣、希望和荣誉的象征。最为肯定的是红色和金色是在我的文化中具有非常特殊意义和深厚文化底蕴的颜色。
