<注釋>.All that is gold does not glitter. we may say when confronted withkhrus- or khruso-, the combining form of the Greek word khrusos, .gold.. We find this form,for example, in the Greek wordkhrusallis, .chrysalis,. which refers specifically to a gold-colored pupa.This Greek word gave us ourchrysalis, first recorded in English in the 7th century. As Modern Englishchrys- or chryso- the Greek formkhrus- or khruso- has also been used to make words that did not exist in Greek. Among the more interesting of these arechrysocracy, .rule of the wealthy,. andchrysotherapy, .the treatment of disease with gold compounds..
.閃光的不都是金子.，當(dāng)我們面對khrus- 或 khruso- ，即希臘詞 khrusos 的結(jié)合形式時（意為.金子.），我們可以這樣說。 我們發(fā)現(xiàn)這種形式，如希臘詞khrusallis 意為.蛹.， 特別指金色的蛹。這個希臘詞產(chǎn)生的chrysalis 首次于7世紀(jì)以英文記載。 作為現(xiàn)代英語中的chrys- 或 chryso- ， 希臘形式的khrus- 或 khruso- 也被用來組成希臘語中不存在的詞。 其中最有趣的有chrysocracy , 意為.富裕的法則.，和chrysotherapy ， 意為.用金化合物治病.
