colour

★★★★★
🇺🇸 /kˈʌlɚ/
adj 编号: C02432 牛津3000 BNC #642
colour 是 color 的英式、澳大利亚英语及爱尔兰英语等标准拼写，既可作名词，也可作动词和形容词的一部分使用。
💡 记忆钩子
把 colour 记成“颜色这个概念的另一套拼写外衣”：意思仍围绕“颜色”，只是英式拼写在 color 中间多了一个 u；因此看到 colour、colourful 等形式时，都可先联想到颜色。
📝 学习建议
  • 先把 colour 与美式拼写 color 视为同一个词来记，不要误以为它们意义不同。
  • 学习时注意英式派生拼写也常保留 u，例如 colourful；不要把多出的 u 当成词根变化。
📖 中文释义
adj
  • core 与颜色有关的
    📖 这是 colour 作为形容词性成分时的用法，核心仍是“颜色”；它多放在另一个名词前，说明该事物与颜色或彩色显示有关。
    💡 常见模式是 colour + 名词，例如 colour television。它主要出现在复合名词或名词短语中，不要随意把它当作普通形容词放在系动词后。美式英语通常写作 color。
    not-comparable
    We bought a colour television for the sitting room.
    我们为客厅买了一台彩色电视。
noun
  • core 颜色
    📖 colour 表示物体被看到的颜色，也可以泛指颜色这一视觉特征；这是最需要掌握的核心义项。
    💡 常见模式是 the colour of + 名词，例如 the colour of the sky；说一种具体颜色时可用 a colour。不要把 colour 只理解成“染料”或“彩色物品”，它首先指颜色本身。
    countable uncountable
    I like the colour of your new coat.
    我喜欢你新外套的颜色。
    This room needs more colour.
    这个房间需要多一些色彩。
colours plural
verb
  • core 着色；使呈现颜色
    📖 作为动词，colour 把“颜色”这个核心概念变成动作，表示给某物上色，或使它呈现某种颜色。
    💡 常见模式是 colour + 宾语，例如 colour the picture；表示“被染成某色”时可用 be coloured + 颜色。不要把它误解为单纯的“选择颜色”，除非上下文明确涉及上色活动。
    The children coloured the picture with crayons.
    孩子们用蜡笔给这幅画涂了颜色。
    The sunset coloured the clouds pink.
    夕阳把云染成了粉红色。
