Abstract
Various kinds of colors make the world colorful. Color terms are closely related with culture. If we use color terms to describe the concrete things, the expressions of all nations and cultures are the same. For example, the sea is blue. However, if we use color terms to describe the abstract things, different cultures have different expressions. In other words, the basic meanings of color terms in Chinese and English are the same, but the cultural connotations of the color terms are different. This paper will analyze the different connotations of color terms in Chinese and English, taking white, red and black, the three kinds of colors as examples. In addition, it will discuss the cultural factors that cause these differences. Finally it will discuss how to deal with these differences in the translation.
