顏色本身
這一家就是畫面的第一步：玫瑰的粉紅。
adjective · B2
Soft pink, like the pink of a rose. It is used about things such as cloth, light, glass, or someone's cheeks.
玫瑰色的；淡粉紅的
核心畫面
Start with the colour itself: the soft warm pink of a rose, the pink of a ribbon, of clouds at six o'clock, of a lamp in a small cafe. It is a kind colour, one that makes whatever it touches look gentler. Now put that colour into a pair of glasses and look through them. Nothing outside has changed, but everything you see has been warmed and , and the change is in the lens. That second step is where the other uses of this word live: the pinkness stops being a fact about the thing and becomes a fact about how you are looking at it.

先從顏色本身開始想：玫瑰那種柔和溫暖的粉紅。緞帶的粉紅，傍晚六點雲的粉紅，小咖啡店裡那盞燈的粉紅。這是一個很和善的顏色，它碰到什麼，什麼就看起來柔一點。接下來，把這個顏色裝進一副眼鏡裡，再往外看。外面什麼都沒有變，但你看到的每樣東西都被調暖、調柔了，而變的是鏡片。這個字其他的用法都可以想成住在第二步裡：粉紅不再是那個東西的特徵，而是你「怎麼看」的特徵。From the word’s history
The word is simply rose plus coloured: having the colour of a rose. That plain start explains the warmth of the colour and, through the pink lens, everything that grew out of it.
這個字就是 rose 加上 coloured，字面上是「有玫瑰那個顏色的」。這個很單純的組合說明了它的溫度：玫瑰的粉是柔的、暖的。後面那些「把事情看得太美好」的用法，都是從這片粉紅鏡片長出來的。

透過粉紅鏡片看
把那個和善的顏色裝進鏡片，於是「粉紅」從景物的特徵變成看法的特徵。
