1. 1

    A kink is a small, unwanted bend or twist in something meant to be straight, like a kink in a garden hose that stops the water from flowing, or a kink in your neck that makes it hurt to turn your head. People also use it more loosely for a small problem in a plan that still needs fixing — "we need to work out a few kinks." In casual adult conversation, "a kink" can also mean an unusual sexual interest; this meaning is common enough that students should know it exists, even though it isn't the main meaning.

    扭結、彎曲處;(計畫的)小問題;(口語)特殊性癖好
