常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子The engild vase is precious.正确表达The engilded vase is precious.
作为动词，'engild'的过去分词'engilded'才能作形容词修饰名词，不能直接用原形。中文'镀金的'对应的是分词形式。
易错句子The frame was engilded by gold.正确表达The frame was engilded with gold.
表示镀金材料时，应用介词'with'而非'by'，因为'engild'的搭配是'engild something with gold'，类似'decorate with'。
