什么是粉红色?
喷泉边的玫瑰就是粉红色。
什么是艳红色?
在大麦床里的罂粟花就是艳红色。
什么是蔚蓝色?天空就是蔚蓝色,
云朵飘过其间。
什么是白色?
阳光下嬉水的天鹅就是白色。
什么是黄色?梨儿就是黄色,
熟透且多汁。
什么是绿色?草就是绿色,
小花掺杂其间。
什么是紫色?夏日夕阳里的
彩霞就是紫色。

橘子就是橘色。
What is pink? A rose is pink
By the fountain's brink.
What is red? A poppy's red
In its barley bed.
What is blue? The sky is blue
Where the clouds float thro'.
What is white? A swan is white
Sailing in the light.
What is yellow? Pears are yellow,
Rich and ripe and mellow.
What is green? The grass is green,
With small flowers between.
What is violet? Clouds are violet
In the summer twilight.
What is orange? Why, an orange,
Just an orange!
