But if you use them in any other way, the meaning is different.它们的意思完全相同。但如果你以其他方式使用它们，意思就不同了。"I found a gold ring on the sidewalk" is not the same as "I established a gold ring on the sidewalk".“我在人行道上发现了(found：find过去式）一个金戒指”和“我在人行道上“设立”了一个金戒指”是不一样的。
An establishment is something that is set up firmly, it is stable. And founded, to lay in the foundation.establishment是指稳固地建立起来的东西，它是稳定的。而founded，是为了奠定基础。,
