用法說明
How is "Crease" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Crease"?
crease (sth) vs be creased
crease (sth)是及物動詞，表示「使...起皺」的動作。be creased是狀態，表示「起皺的、有摺痕的」結果。- 物體本身不能主動「crease」，所以不說 "The paper creases easily"，而應說 "The paper gets creased easily"（這張紙很容易起皺）。
- 描述衣物或布料因穿著、摺疊而自然產生的皺褶時，常用被動語態或形容詞形式。 EN: Be careful not to crease the document when you pack it. 翻譯: 打包時小心別把文件弄皺了。
EN:His suit was badly creased after the long flight.
翻譯:他的西裝在長途飛行後變得皺巴巴的。
總結建議
表達「使起皺」的動作用 crease (sth)，描述「已起皺」的狀態則用 be creased 或 get creased。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Crease"?Which "Crease" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I creased my shirt when I ironed it.
✓I ironed the creases out of my shirt.
「crease」通常指「產生摺痕」，而非「去除摺痕」。若要表達「燙平」或「去除摺痕」，應使用「iron out」或「smooth out」。
×The paper is creasing.
✓The paper is creased. / The paper has a crease.
描述「已經有摺痕」的狀態時，應使用形容詞「creased」或名詞「crease」，而非現在進行式。現在進行式「is creasing」強調「正在產生摺痕」的動作。
×He creased the paper into a ball.
✓He crumpled the paper into a ball.
「Crease」通常指「產生線狀或明顯的摺痕」，而「crumple」才是指「弄皺、揉成一團」。若將紙張揉成球狀，應使用「crumple」。
×My new pants have a sharp crease.
✓My new trousers have a sharp crease.
在英式英語中，「pants」通常指內褲，而「trousers」才是指外穿的長褲。描述褲子的摺痕時，應使用「trousers」（英式）或「pants」（美式）。此處根據上下文，使用「trousers」更為準確。
×Don't sit on the newspaper, or you will make it crease.
✓Don't sit on the newspaper, or you will crease it.
「Crease」作為及物動詞時，可以直接接受詞，意為「使...產生摺痕」，無需使用「make it crease」這種冗餘結構。
