<注释>.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..
.闪光的不都是金子.，当我们面对khrus- 或 khruso- ，即希腊词 khrusos 的结合形式时（意为.金子.），我们可以这样说。 我们发现这种形式，如希腊词khrusallis 意为.蛹.， 特别指金色的蛹。这个希腊词产生的chrysalis 首次于7世纪以英文记载。 作为现代英语中的chrys- 或 chryso- ， 希腊形式的khrus- 或 khruso- 也被用来组成希腊语中不存在的词。 其中最有趣的有chrysocracy , 意为.富裕的法则.，和chrysotherapy ， 意为.用金化合物治病.
