4. Amber [ˈæmbəʳ]

琥珀色

Amber can describe the dark orange-yellow color of a floating leaf or a substance found floating in the sea. It is derived from Arabic, anbar, which refers to ambergris, a waxy secretion of the sperm whale that is used as a spice and in perfumery. In English, amber was originally used as the name for this substance, with the name ambergris developing later in French from ambre and gris ("gray") to differentiate it from the fossilized tree resin type of amber, which is also found around the shore (of the Baltic Sea, largely).

Amber(琥珀色)可以用来形容暗橘色的浮叶，或者海上的漂浮物。这个单词源于阿拉伯语中的anbar，指的是一种制作香料和香水的原材料——龙涎香(抹香鲸的蜡状分泌物)。Amber在英语中原本是龙涎香的名字。为了区分龙涎香和化石树脂型琥珀(大部分化石树脂型琥珀发现于波罗的海海岸)，后来法语中出现了ambergris(龙涎香)的说法，这个单词由ambre和gris(同gray，灰)组成。

Species of insects and plants have been found as fossils in this yellowish to brownish amber, and deeply colored, translucent pieces are used in making jewelry and ornamental objects. It is from the color of this resin that amber has come to refer to a dark orange yellow.

这种黄棕色的琥珀中间包裹着昆虫和植物化石，而颜色浓且透亮的琥珀可以制作珠宝和装饰品。人们因为琥珀的颜色而用amber来指代暗橘黄色。
