长释义：
You can scrunch up you sister’s favorite shirt and shove it back in her drawer after she says you can’t borrow it, and you can also scrunch up your face in anger. Use this verb whenever you crease, wrinkle, crush, or squeeze something into a mass. It’s also a good term for a crunching sound: “I heard a scrunch in the dry leaves under my window.” Scrunch arose as an intensive form of crunch, originally meaning “to bite.”
你可以把你姐姐最喜欢的衬衫揉成一团，在她说你不能借了之后把它塞回抽屉里，你也可以在生气的时候把脸揉成一团。每当你将某物弄皱、起皱、压碎或挤压成一团时，都可以使用这个动词。这也是嘎吱嘎吱的声音的一个很好的术语：“我听到窗下干树叶发出嘎吱嘎吱的声音。” Scrunch 是紧缩的一种强化形式，最初的意思是“咬”。
