you will need to specify colours as RGB values and then set transparency via the "alpha" argument.

e.g.: color=rgb(0,0,0,alpha=0.3)

# will  give black (0,0,0) and a transparency of 30%.

I checked as you suggested. However, I found that the number in those functions are the number of 
colors. In contrast, my number here means a specific color, for example, 2 in my code means 
"red", 3 in my code means "green"....

I found all the color transparency was defined with character color, or rgb 
color. What if I have number code and still try to modify the transparency?

For example:

x=c(1:5)
color=c(2,2,3,4,5)
plot(x, col=color)
plot(x, col=color,pch=20)
here I defined color by numbers, how can I modify the transparency?
See the examples for ?palette.
