5.藤黄 [gæm'bəʊʒ]
Gamboge
Gamboge, also spelled camboge, can be used to describe the vivid yellows of autumn. The name of the color refers to a gum resin from Southeast Asian trees that is used as a yellow pigment and as a purgative. The resin is orange to brown in color but when pulverized turns bright yellow.
Gamboge（藤黄色），也写作camboge，可用来形容秋天鲜艳的黄色。Gamboge指的是一种源自东南亚树木上的树脂胶。这种树脂胶可以制作黄色颜料和泻药，颜色介于橙色和棕色之间，但制成粉末后呈明黄色。
Gamboge is based on New Latin gambogium, an alteration of cambugium, which is either from or akin to the Portuguese name for the country of Cambodia, Camboja. Cambodia also happens to be one of the countries in which the trees producing gamboge are indigenous.
Gamboge的原型是现代拉丁语中的gambogium（cambugium的变型），这个单词和柬埔寨的葡萄牙语名Camboja非常相似，也可能就来源于此。而柬埔寨本土刚好就有这种树脂胶的树木。
6. Scarlet ['skɑːlət]
猩红
Scarlet was not originally a word for a color but a name for a high-quality cloth, which is believed to have originated in Persia where it was called saqalāt. The word entered English via Anglo-French escarlet—a derivative of the Latin word for the cloth, scarlata—and became associated with bright red colors because the cloth was commonly dyed red.
Scarlet（猩红）本来不是表示颜色的词汇，而是一种优质布料的名称。这种名为saqalāt的布料原产自波斯。英语中的scarlet由诺曼时代英国所用法语中的escarlet演变而来。而escarlet就是这种布料的拉丁文单词scarlata的衍生词。由于这种布料通常被染成红色，scarlet也就和鲜艳的红色联系在一起。
Scarlet is a perfect descriptor for the bright reds of autumn.
用scarlet形容秋天的亮红色再恰当不过。
