1. 1天藍色

    Sky-blue is a bright, light blue — the colour people picture when they look up on a clear day and there are no clouds. You use it like any other colour word: a sky-blue shirt, sky-blue walls, sky-blue paint. You will also see it written as two words, sky blue; both are fine. The just glues the two ideas into one colour name. Though actually the real sky is not always this colour — dawn can be pink, and a rainy day is grey — so the word points to a kind of ideal, sunny blue, not every sky you will ever see. It is an ordinary, everyday word, not fancy and not technical. As a noun it can also mean the colour itself: she painted the door a lovely sky-blue.

    Sky-blue 是一種明亮的淺藍色,就是晴天沒有雲時抬頭看到的那種顏色。它像一般的顏色詞一樣使用,例如 「a sky-blue shirt」(天藍色的襯衫)、 「sky-blue walls」(天藍色的牆)。寫成兩個字 sky blue 也可以,兩種寫法都對;連字號只是把兩個詞黏成一個顏色名稱。

    這個詞指的其實是一種理想中晴朗的藍,真實的天空不一定是這個顏色,黎明可能偏粉,雨天則是灰的。它是很普通的日常用字,不花俏,也不是專業術語。它也可以當名詞,指這個顏色本身,例如 「she painted the door a lovely sky-blue」(她把門漆成一種很漂亮的天藍色)。

組成sky + blue: named after the colour of a clear sky.
