English term

who is new at something is referred to as green

English to Portuguese Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
I told him prices for two-by-fours of White Fir, Western SPF and Green Douglas Fir, and continued reading the news wire. The"green" in Green Douglas Fir refers to the fact that it has been newly cut (it has not been dried), just like someone who is new at something is referred to as green.
