Column and editorial both mean an article in a newspaper. A column is a regular feature by one writer, in the same place; it need not give an opinion. An editorial is a short, unsigned piece giving the newspaper's opinion, more formal than a column.

这两个词都指报纸上刊登的文章，但侧重不同：column 强调固定版面、定期刊登、话题不限；editorial 特指代表报社官方立场的评论文章。学习者容易把“专栏”和“社论”混为一谈，需注意区分。
