Luoman Posted October 10, 2007 at 11:46 AM Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 at 11:46 AM So, what is 蓝色心情？ I asked one Chinese, and he said it means "good mood". I asked another, and he said it`s "sad mood". So is it both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianlondon Posted October 10, 2007 at 12:09 PM Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 at 12:09 PM I know this is hardly a good way of translating, but in English if you say you're feeling "blue" then it means you're a bit down/sad/depressed. Why that's the case, I don't know. When younger I thought it was because most Blues music was depressing! I read somewhere that it's a nautical thing ... boats would fly a blue flag to signify that the captain or other senior officer had been lost at sea during that voyage.

Han-tiger Posted October 10, 2007 at 12:45 PM Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 at 12:45 PM What causes you confused about the meaning of “蓝色心情” is that “蓝色心情” is definitely not a Chinese native expression. It is originally from some English spoken country, like US. It is only a direct translation of BLUE. Therefore, the correct meaning of “蓝色心情” is the meaning of blue, which means sad or depressed, to describe a person at a bad mood. Actually, we Chinese use “灰色心情” to this effect.
