mandarin blue

基本解释

They took four similar shades of green and blue and gave them made-up names—meaningless Mandarin monosyllables like sòng.
他们给了参与实验者四种相似的蓝色和绿色色调，并告诉他们一些虚拟出来的名字，比如毫无意义的汉语单音节词“song”（第四声）。
At this time I wasn't disappointed; there were only two small mandarin ducks playing in the water, stirring some excellent rippling blue waves.
这次没有让我失望，是两只小小的戏水鸳鸯，在搅碎着一泓碧波！
I have seen the diplomats' children in Chaoyang, with their white skin, brown hair, big blue eyes; pudgy eleven-year-olds speaking Mandarin over the counter at the coffeehouse.
我在朝阳区就看到过十几岁白皮肤，黄头发，蓝色的大眼睛，身材微胖的外交官的孩子们在咖啡馆里隔着柜台说汉语。
