臺灣籍旅美老師今天交給我們的句子是：

As you would expect, different languages have different words for colors. But what interests researchers isn't those simple translations, it's the question of which colors get names at all. Because as much as we think of colors in categories, the truth is that color is a spectrum. It's not obvious why we should have a basic color term for this color, but not this one.
可想而知，不同的語言有不同的“顏色”用詞。但是學者所感興趣的并不是那些字面上的單純翻譯詞，而是究竟哪些顏色該被命名。因為盡管我們總認為顏色分成多種類別，但它實則是一個光譜。我們很難去解釋究竟為何我們應該為這個顏色命名，而非那個顏色。
