In Japan and South Korea, men are generally expected to spend three times as much on White Day as women spend on Valentine’s Day. If a man gives a gift equal in value to the one he received, it might imply he wants to break up. Yet another difference has to do with the colors associated with each day. Red is associated with Valentine’s Day. It’s the color of the heart and of love itself.
在日本和南韓，男性被預期在白色情人節的花費通常是女人在情人節所花的三倍。如果一個男人送出與他收到的有著同等價值的禮物，則可能暗指他想要分手。兩個節日的另一個差異還與顏色有關。紅色與情人節有關。它是心、也是愛本身的顏色。

imply vt. 暗示，暗指

be associated with... 和……有關聯；和……聯想在一起
