Even within the English­speaking area it is not difficult to find color contradictions (矛盾)．A red cap in the United States is a porter in a railway station.In Britain, however, a red cap is a military policeman.Both names are logical because both men wear red caps.Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black­coated worker.

　　One does not have to cross an area to find color differences.Would you rather be red­blooded or a blue­blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest.The expression “blue blood” comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had “blue blood”．Actually they meant that they had no Moorish or Jewish blood.But then why “blue” blood? Because they were fair­skinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue.
