英语词汇dorado的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

dorado. The dorado (Coryphaena hippuras) is for reasons unknown sometimes called the dolphin, but this game fish is no relation to the friendly mammal. The fabled “dolphin” of sports fishermen has been clocked at 40 miles an hour while chasing flying fishes. Among the most majestic of fish, old male dorados have a high, narrow crest heightening the forehead. All dorados are beautifully colored—marked with blues, pur- ples, golds, and bright yellows. When taken from the water, pink and green flushes run over their sides. Byron and many another poet has celebrated the beauty of the dorado’s colors when it is dying. The splendid creature’s name appropriately comes from the Latin deaurare, to gild.
