A crevice is a narrow crack in a surface — especially in rock, stone, or a wall. Picture a split you could slide a coin into, or that a lizard could vanish into: thin, often quite deep, not a wide gap you could walk through.

A crevice is a narrow crack in a surfaceA crevice是表面上的一道窄縫 — especially in rock, stone, or a wall尤其是岩石、石頭或牆上的. Picture a split you could slide a coin into想像一道你可以塞進一枚硬幣的裂縫, or that a lizard could vanish into或是蜥蜴可以鑽進去消失的那種: thin, often quite deep窄窄的，常常還蠻深, not a wide gap you could walk through不是那種你可以走過去的寬縫

Climbers and hikers use it all the time (a crevice in a cliff, a crevice in dry earth). People stretch it a little for ordinary things too — a crevice between floorboards, a crevice in an old wall — but the picture is still “a tight split”, not a hole or a cave.

Climbers and hikers攀岩的人和健行的人 use it all the time常常在用這個字 (a crevice in a cliff, a crevice in dry earth)（懸崖上的a crevice、乾裂土地上的a crevice）. People stretch it a little for ordinary things too大家也會把這個字稍微延伸到普通的東西上 — a crevice between floorboards, a crevice in an old wall地板縫之間的a crevice、老牆上的a crevice — but the picture is still “a tight split”但畫面還是「一道緊窄的裂縫」, not a hole or a cave不是洞，也不是山洞

It is a precise, rather physical word; “crack” is the everyday cousin, but a crevice feels narrower and more like a place something could hide. You will meet it in nature writing, buildings, and science more than in chat.

It is a precise, rather physical word這是個很精確、偏具體實物的字; “crack” is the everyday cousin「crack」是它日常版的親戚, but a crevice feels narrower但a crevice感覺更窄 and more like a place something could hide也更像是個東西可以躲進去的地方. You will meet it in nature writing, buildings, and science你會在自然寫作、建築和科學裡遇到這個字 more than in chat而不是在聊天裡

Though actually, English also has crevasse, which looks almost the same and comes from the same place: that one is the huge split in ice, not this small rock-crack.

Though actually不過其實, English also has crevasse英文還有另一個字crevasse, which looks almost the same and comes from the same place長得幾乎一樣，也是同個字源來的: that one is the huge split in ice那個字指的是冰上的巨大裂縫, not this small rock-crack不是這個小小的石縫
