| Phrase | green |
| Text | The word "green," in this podcast, means unripe, or not yet fully mature or ready to be eaten: "My sister likes to eat green peaches, but I think they're too crunchy." The word "green" is also related to environmental protection and conservation: "Do you think the green movement is as important as reducing poverty?" If a person is "green," it means that he or she is very young and/or doesn't have very much experience doing something: "Nick is pretty green right now, but if we hire him, I think he'll learn quickly." Finally, the phrase "to have a green thumb" means to be very good at making plants grow and stay healthy: "If your plants are dying, ask Tomas for advice. He has a green thumb." |
