在汉语翻译成英语时，某些场合的汉语的“白”字虽然是颜色，但英语应词中并没有white一词。
如：白菜（Chinese cabbage）、白熊（polar）、白蚁（termite）.但在另一些场合，白字与颜色毫无关系，表示徒劳（in vain）。如：白费事（all in vain , a waste of time and energy）,白送（give away, free of charge ,for nothing）.此外，白字还可以表示“单纯的”“不掺杂的”。如白开水（boiled water）,白烧肉（plain boiled pork）.在某些场合甚至很难概括出某种涵义。如坦白（to confess, to make a clean breast of something ）,白痴（idiot ）,白话（vernacular）.应当记住的是：“白”字并不都是“white”
Blue(蓝色)在英语中通常用来表示不愉快。
如：
in a blue mood 和having the blues表示“情绪低落”“忧郁”“沮丧”“烦闷”；
在a blue Mon(倒霉的星期一)中，“blue”也表示类似的意思----过了愉快、幸福的周未，星期一又要上班或上学了，所以情绪不佳。
如：it was blue Monday and he just didn，t feel like going back to work.倒霉的星期一，又该上班了，他真的不愿意。
在美国英语中blue book（蓝皮书）是刊载知名人士，尤其是政府高级官员名字的书。
