In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today-a person who is new in a job.About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the east. The greenhorn didnt have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression es from the early nineteen hundreds.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains.
