When food is crispy當食物crispy的時候，the outside is pleasantly hard外皮會討喜地硬硬的 and makes a little sound而且會發出一點聲音 when you bite it當你咬下去的時候。Fried chicken skin, roast potatoes, bacon, pastry, and a well-cooked spring roll炸雞皮、烤馬鈴薯、培根、酥皮點心，還有煎得好的春捲 can all be crispy都可以是crispy的。

It is a good word: people want that outside, not a soggy one. The word stays close to food.

It is a good word這是個好用的字：people want that outside人們想要的就是那種外皮，not a soggy one而不是軟軟濕濕的那種。The word stays close to food這個字一直跟食物綁在一起。

American English uses it a lot in the kitchen; British English uses it too, but also uses crisp for some of the same food ideas, and crisp has other jobs (cool weather, a clean sharp style, a firm manner). Crispy does not really do those other jobs.

It is informal-to-neutral, the kind of word you hear at the table, not in a science book. An older English use of crispy meant curly, like tightly waved hair, but the meaning learners meet now is almost always this pleasant hard outside on food.

It is informal-to-neutral這個字算是非正式到中性，the kind of word you hear at the table是你會在餐桌上聽到的那種字，not in a science book而不是在科學書裡的。An older English use of crispy meant curly英文裡crispy比較舊的用法是指「捲曲的」，like tightly waved hair像是燙得很緊的頭髮那樣，but the meaning learners meet now但學習者現在會遇到的意思 is almost always this pleasant hard outside on food幾乎都是食物上這種討喜的硬脆外皮。
