    Marry into the purple字面翻译是“嫁入紫色的(人家)”，这是什么意思呢？请看对话：

    A: Have you heard? Isabella Leong and Richard Li broke up!

    B: Yeah. The end of another Cinderella fairy tale.

    A: Even if she married into the purple, she wouldn’t be promised happiness. There are heaps of stories out there. Hollywood stars often marry singers, co-stars or other people who share their interest. That could make a happy marriage.

    B: I totally agree. By the way, “marry into the purple?”

    A: You must have heard another saying — “born into the purple,” which means “born into a reigning family or privileged class.”

    B: So “marry into the purple” means “marry into a wealthy and privileged family?”

    A: Right. People also say “marry into money” or “marry a fortune.”
