Unit 8 Sports一周强化
一、本单元重点单词
1.gold/ golden 辨析
gold 即可作名词,也可作形容词。
gold作名词时,意思是“黄金”(指一种材料)或“金币,金制品”(coins/ objects made of this metal)
gold作形容词时,意思是“金的,金制的”。
golden 只能是形容词,意思是“金制的(made of gold)”作此义时,同gold; “金的(of the color of gold);极好的,幸运的,有利的(very fortunate/ favorable)”。例如:
(1)他戴着金表。
He is wearing /wears a gold /golden watch(adj. 金制的)
(2)以前,人们用金币付帐。
People used to pay in gold. (n. 金币,不可用golden)
