Идиомы в английском языке: вводная часть

Colour Idioms — лексический урок английского языка

Почему на уровне B1–B2 многие начинают «понимать английский», но всё равно теряются в фильмах, подкастах и живой речи? Потому что носители постоянно используют идиомы — готовые выражения, смысл которых нельзя угадать по словам.

Идиомы — это не украшение речи, а рабочий инструмент. С их помощью говорят о злости, радости, деньгах, проблемах, удаче и неудаче. Если их не знать, фраза вроде He saw red или It happened out of the blue звучит странно или вообще непонятно, даже если все слова знакомы.

В этом мини-уроке мы разучим 20 распространённых идиом с цветами, которые действительно используются в реальной речи:

  • The black sheep
  • Red tape
  • A black look
  • A white elephant
  • A white lie
  • Once in a blue moon
  • The boys in blue
  • White-collar workers
  • To see red
  • To be red-hot
  • To give someone the green light
  • To have green fingers
  • To be in the black
  • To be in the red
  • To be green with envy
  • To paint the town red
  • To happen out of the blue
  • To catch someone red-handed
  • To roll out the red carpet
  • To be in a black mood

Ниже вы перейдёте к интерактивному тренажёру и тесту, где эти идиомы встречаются в типичных контекстах живой речи.
