Wrinkled describes a surface that has small lines, folds or creases in it instead of being smooth. You use it about two main things.
Wrinkled describes a surfacewrinkled是在形容一個表面 that has small lines, folds or creases in it上面有小小的線條、摺痕或皺褶 instead of being smooth而不是平滑的。You use it about two main things主要用在兩種東西上。
First, skin: a wrinkled face, wrinkled hands — usually from age, though also from lying in the bath too long. Second, cloth and paper: a wrinkled shirt, a wrinkled map, a wrinkled photograph. It stretches nicely to other things with the same look — a wrinkled apple that has dried out, a wrinkled dog like a shar-pei, wrinkled bedsheets.
First, skin第一,皮膚 a wrinkled face, wrinkled hands像a wrinkled face(有皺紋的臉)、wrinkled hands(有皺紋的手) — usually from age——通常是因為年紀 though also from lying in the bath too long但也可能是泡澡泡太久。Second, cloth and paper第二,布料和紙 a wrinkled shirt, a wrinkled map, a wrinkled photograph像a wrinkled shirt(皺掉的襯衫)、a wrinkled map(皺掉的地圖)、a wrinkled photograph(皺掉的照片)。It stretches nicely to other things with the same look它也很自然地延伸到外觀類似的其他東西 — a wrinkled apple that has dried out像乾掉起皺的蘋果 a wrinkled dog like a shar-pei或像沙皮狗那種皺皮狗 wrinkled bedsheets還有皺掉的床單。
It comes before a noun ("a wrinkled shirt") or after be/get ("my shirt is wrinkled", "the paper got wrinkled in my bag").
It comes before a noun ("a wrinkled shirt")它可以放在名詞前面(像『a wrinkled shirt』) or after be/get ("my shirt is wrinkled", "the paper got wrinkled in my bag")也可以放在be/get後面(像『my shirt is wrinkled』、『the paper got wrinkled in my bag』)。
Be careful with tone: about skin, wrinkled is honest but a little — you would not tell your grandmother "your face is wrinkled". People it by talking about "a few lines" or "laughter lines" instead. About cloth it is completely neutral; nobody minds.
Be careful with tone要小心語氣: about skin, wrinkled is honest but a little unkind講皮膚的時候,wrinkled很誠實,但有點不厚道 you would not tell your grandmother "your face is wrinkled"你不會跟奶奶說『your face is wrinkled(妳臉上有皺紋)』。People soften it by talking about "a few lines" or "laughter lines" instead大家會改講『a few lines(幾條細紋)』或『laughter lines(笑紋)』來委婉一點。About cloth it is completely neutral講布料的時候完全是中性的 nobody minds沒有人會介意。
Note also the fixed phrase "wrinkled with age" and the verb : your nose when you smell something bad, and your forehead when you are . British speakers say crumpled or for cloth at least as often as wrinkled; wrinkled for a shirt sounds slightly more American.
Note also the fixed phrase "wrinkled with age"也要注意固定用法『wrinkled with age(因年老而滿是皺紋)』 and the verb wrinkle還有動詞wrinkle: your nose wrinkles when you smell something bad聞到難聞的味道時,你的鼻子會皺起來 and your forehead wrinkles when you are puzzled你困惑的時候,額頭也會皺起來。British speakers say crumpled or creased for cloth at least as often as wrinkled英式英語講布料時,crumpled或creased至少和wrinkled一樣常見 wrinkled for a shirt sounds slightly more American用wrinkled講襯衫聽起來比較偏美式。
