To crackle is to make many short, sharp sounds, one after another, like dry wood in a fire, dry leaves under your feet, or a plastic bag in your hands. It is not one loud bang; it is a little storm of tiny cracks that keep coming. A fire crackles. A radio can crackle when the signal is weak. Meat can crackle in a hot pan. The word can also be a noun for that sound: the crackle of the fire. It is an ordinary, physical word — you can almost hear it as you say it — and it is at home in stories and everyday description, not in formal reports.
劈啪作響、發出劈啪聲。
組成From Middle English crakelen: crack + -le, a little ending that means the action keeps happening again and again.
