Feifei:  That's true, eggs do crack. 像陶瓷，陶器或玻璃等坚硬的物品会比较容易 crack

裂缝、破裂。But that's not the same as smashing?

Rob:  Yes. An object may be cracked but it tends to keep its original shape.

Feifei:  一个物品虽然有一个crack 但通常还会保持原型。What about wood?

Rob:  Wood is different. If wood is cut or breaks lengthways it tends to split,

usually into two pieces. It's not brittleAXEflatteneddent

Rob:  If I could just borrow your mobile phone I could ring up and order a new

present for your Mum.

Feifei:  OK if you want to, here's my phone…

SCRATCH FX

Rob:  Oh no. Sorry, I've got buttery fingers; I didn't mean to drop it.

Feifei:  I don't believe it. You've scratched the screen. 手机的屏幕也被你给划得满是疤

痕！

Rob:  Surely not. Oh look, it's just a small scrape across the glass screen. You

see metal, glass and wood are very easy to scratch if they are not

protected.

Feifei:  You're telling me! 玻璃，木头还有金属都很容易被尖锐的东西划伤、刮伤。Rob

you are so clumsy. I think we need a quick summary of the damage you

have caused.

Rob:  Well, first we had the crack on the plate.

Feifei:  盘子裂缝。

Rob:  The split in some wood.

Feifei:   木头破裂。

Rob:  A crushed box.

Feifei:  挤扁的盒子。

Rob:  A chip off the plate.

Feifei:  盘子掉下的碎片。

Rob:  A dent in the box.

Feifei:   盒子上的一个凹坑。

Rob:  And a scratch on your phone.

Feifei:  手机屏幕上的一个划痕。That's enough damage for one day.

Rob:  What else could go wrong?!

Feifei:  Hmm! 欢迎发邮件给我们提出你在英语学习中遇到的难题，邮箱地址是

Rob:  We look forward to hearing from you. Right, see you later.

Feifei:  Rob, mind that box…
