1. 1

    If a place, a bag, or a room is crammed, it is so full of things or people that almost nothing else can go in. Bodies are pressed together on a train; clothes are pushed into a case; a drawer will not shut.

    If a place, a bag, or a room is crammed如果一個地方、一個袋子,或一間房間是塞滿的, it它 is so full of things or people that almost nothing else can go in就是塞得太滿、幾乎什麼都放不進去了。Bodies are pressed together on a train火車上大家的身體擠在一起; clothes are pushed into a case行李箱裡衣服被硬塞進去; a drawer will not shut抽屜關不起來。

    It feels tight, stuffed, a bit uncomfortable — more than “quite full.” You can cram things into a space (that is the verb), and then the space is crammed (the -ed form, often describing a state: it is already packed). It is ordinary, slightly vivid spoken English.

    It它 feels tight, stuffed, a bit uncomfortable給人的感覺是緊、塞滿、有點不舒服 — more than "quite full."比「相當滿」還誇張。You你 can cram things into a space可以把東西cram進一個空間 (that is the verb)(這是動詞), and而 then the space is crammed那個空間就是crammed (the -ed form, often describing a state: it is already packed)(-ed形式,通常描述一種已經塞滿的狀態)。It它 is ordinary, slightly vivid spoken English是一個普通、但用起來有點生動的口語詞。

    Crowded is the everyday word when we mean too many people; crammed can be people or things, and it sounds more “forced in.” Though actually, the same verb is the one students already know from exams: to cram is also to push facts into your head in a hurry. When we call a bus crammed, we mean the packed-full sense, not the studying sense — but you can hear the same picture in both: pushing more in than fits easily.

    Crowdedcrowded is the everyday word when we mean too many people是講「人太多」時日常會用的字; crammedcrammed can be people or things可以是人也可以是東西, and而且 it sounds more "forced in."聽起來更像是「被硬塞進去」。Though actually不過其實 the same verb這個動詞 is the one students already know from exams學生從考試裡就已經認識了: to cram cram也是指 is also to push facts into your head in a hurry趕時間硬把知識塞進腦袋。When we call a bus crammed當我們說公車是crammed, we mean the packed-full sense指的是「塞得滿滿」的意思, not不是 the studying sense「臨時抱佛腳」的意思 — but但 you can hear the same picture in both兩種說法背後其實是同一個畫面: pushing more in than fits easily塞進去的比容得下的還多。
