golden, gold
这两个形容词都可译为“金的”。它们的区别是：
1.gold表示“金的”“金色的”,指真金,而golden表示“似金的”“金黄色的”,并非真金。例如:
Mrs. Smith bought a gold watch.史密斯夫人买了一块金表。
She had golden hair and blue eyes.她金发碧眼。
2.作“金制的”解时,古英语中也可用golden,如golden ring; gold ring侧重“质地”,意思是“这是戒指形的金子”; 而golden强调“原料”,意思是“这戒指是用金子加工的”。
3.gold较少用于比喻,而golden常用于比喻,表示“珍贵的”“幸运的”“非常有利的”。
4.“金鱼”应说gold fish。
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
在预热过的烤箱里烤25分钟，或烤成金黄色。
