用法筆記
Common in everyday descriptions of paper, fabric, or skin affected by folding, heat, or age. For a single sharp fold, use 'creased' instead (e.g., 'a creased trouser leg'). For skin on the face describing an emotion, 'wrinkled' or 'crinkled' are both possible, but 'crinkled' often connotes delicacy or warmth.
