1. 1

    To rumple something is to mess it so it is no longer smooth or neat — usually clothes, sheets, or hair. You rumple a shirt by it in a bag; a child rumples a parent’s hair with both hands; a nap rumples the bed. It is a small, verb: the thing is not torn and not dirty, just , with soft folds and creases. Though actually, rumple is a little gentler than crumple. Crumple often sounds like a hard crush, paper in a fist; rumple sounds like fabric or hair that has been slept in or played with. You can rumple something on purpose, for a casual look, or without meaning to. Ordinary English, not fancy. In real life you will see the -ed form rumpled even more than the verb itself.

    弄皺、弄亂(頭髮、衣服、床單)

組成From Middle English rimplen, “to become wrinkled”. People compare it with German rumpeln (to make a din) and Dutch rommelen (to rumble) — those cousins are about noise, which sits a little oddly next to our “make clothes untidy” meaning.
