    Grizzled describes hair that has gone grey in streaks and patches — not all dark, not all white, but mixed. A grizzled beard, a grizzled head, the grizzled face of an old dog. The picture is worn by years.

    Grizzled describes形容的是 hair that has gone grey in streaks and patches頭髮一條一條、一塊一塊地變灰 — not all dark不是全黑, not all white也不是全白, but mixed而是混在一起。A grizzled beard花白的鬍子, a grizzled head花白的頭, the grizzled face of an old dog老狗那張花白的臉。The picture這個畫面 is worn by years是歲月留下的痕跡。

    Though actually, writers often push it a little further. A grizzled detective or a grizzled coach may be there as much for the years on them as for the exact colour of their hair. The word is putting age and hard experience on a person.

    Though actually不過, writers作家 often push it a little further常常會把它用得更進一步。A grizzled detective or a grizzled coach一個grizzled的偵探或grizzled的教練 may be there重點可能在 as much for the years on them跟他們身上的歲月一樣多 as for the exact colour of their hair而不只是頭髮的確切顏色。The word這個字 is putting是在把 age and hard experience年紀和艱苦的經歷 on a person加到一個人身上。

    You will meet it in stories and newspapers more than in chat. It is not a rude word, but it does say “not young,” so you would not usually say it to someone’s face unless you were sure they would smile.

    You will meet it你比較會看到它 in stories and newspapers在故事和報紙裡 more than in chat日常聊天比較少用。It is not a rude word這不是一個粗魯的字, but it does say但它確實在說 "not young"「不年輕了」, so you would not usually say it to someone's face所以通常不會當面這樣說人 unless you were sure they would smile除非你確定對方會笑著接受。

    It does not mean fully grey. Fully grey is just grey. Grizzled is the mix.

    It does not mean它不是指 fully grey全白。Fully grey全白 is just就只是 grey grey而已。Grizzled is指的是 the mix混雜的那種。
