长释义：
Doctors are well-known for the way they scrawl prescriptions on a pad, and you can refer to that chicken scratch handwriting itself as a scrawl. It’s not easy to read someone’s scrawl, which is careless and rushed. The origin of scrawl is (fittingly) unclear, although one guess connects it to the Middle English scrawlen, “spread out the limbs” or “sprawl.”
医生以他们在垫子上潦草地写处方的方式而闻名，你可以将这种鸡刮手迹本身称为涂鸦。看别人潦草的草稿，草率而仓促，实属不易。 scrawl 的起源（恰当地）不清楚，尽管有人猜测将其与中古英语 scrawlen 联系起来，“展开四肢”或“蔓延”。
文学例句：

Some sources suggest a contraction of scrabble. Related: Scrawled; scrawling.The noun in the sense of “piece of unskilled or inelegant writing” is by 1690s, from the verb; the meaning “bad style of handwriting” is by 1710.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
scrawl (v.)1610s，“笨拙和不整齐地写或画”，一个来源不确定的词，可能来自中古英语 scrawlen 的特定用法“展开四肢，蔓延”（15 世纪初），这可能是一种改动sprawlen（参见 sprawl (v.)）或 crawl (v.)。一些消息来源表明拼字游戏的收缩。相关：潦草； scrawling. 在 1690 年代，“一段不熟练或不雅的文字”意义上的名词是动词； “糟糕的笔迹风格”的意思是 1710 年。相关条目及更多
