You can think of cracked as a thin line that has opened in something. The line goes into the surface, but the two sides are still holding on to each other, so the thing keeps its shape and can often still be used. Sometimes the line stays closed and you only see it; sometimes it opens a little and leaves a narrow gap that air, light or sound can pass through. Most uses of the word sit somewhere along that line: a cup, a bone, dry skin, a voice that will not stay smooth, a door left a few open.

cracked 可以想成:東西上面開了一條細細的線。那條線切進表面,可是兩邊還互相拉著,所以形狀還在,通常也還能用。有時候那條線是閉著的,你只看得到痕跡。有時候它稍微張開,留下一道窄縫,空氣、光線和聲音剛好可以穿過去。這個字大部分的用法,都落在這條線上的某個位置:裂了的杯子、裂了的骨頭、乾裂的嘴唇、撐不住的聲音,還有留了一道縫的門。
