crunchy 與 crispy 的區別
- crunchy 強調的是「發出清脆響亮的咀嚼聲」的質地，通常用於描述需要用力咬碎、質地較硬或厚實的食物。
- crispy 則強調「酥脆易碎」的質地，通常指薄、乾、輕盈，一咬就碎，發出細碎聲音的食物。
- 有些食物可以同時用兩個詞形容，但側重點不同：
crunchy著重聲音和硬度，crispy著重脆度和易碎性。 - 對於質地描述，
crunchy有時也可用於非食物（如落葉、雪），而crispy則幾乎專用於食物。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Crunchy"?Which "Crunchy" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×This apple is very crunchy.
✓This apple is very crisp.
「crunchy」通常用於描述經過烹調、加工或烘烤後具有酥脆口感的食物（如餅乾、炸物），而新鮮水果（如蘋果、梨子）的脆度通常用「crisp」來形容。
×The sound of walking on leaves is crunchy.
✓The sound of walking on leaves is crinkly / rustling.
「crunchy」主要描述食物「吃起來」酥脆的口感或發出的聲音，不直接用於形容腳步聲或其他物體摩擦的聲音。形容樹葉被踩踏的聲音，更常用「crinkly」或「rustling」。
×I like my steak cooked crunchy.
✓I like my steak cooked until it has a crispy crust / sear.
「crunchy」不適用於描述肉類的主要質地。肉類（如牛排）外皮煎得「焦脆」可以用「crispy」或「seared」，內部則用「tender」、「juicy」等。用「crunchy」形容肉類會讓人聯想到過度烹調以致乾硬難嚼。
×This bread is not soft, it's crunchy.
✓This bread is not soft, it's crusty / has a crunchy crust.
形容麵包整體的質地，若外皮硬脆、內部柔軟，應用「crusty」。若想強調「外皮」酥脆，可說「has a crunchy crust」。單用「crunchy」形容整塊麵包，會讓人誤以為整塊都像餅乾一樣酥脆。
×The weather is crunchy today.
✓The air is crisp today.
「crunchy」不能用來形容天氣。形容天氣涼爽、空氣清新乾爽的感覺，應用「crisp」。這是常見的搭配錯誤。
