英 [kriːs]
美 [kris]

助记提示
1. crease => *creast => crest.
2. crest => *creast => crease.
3. grease => crease: 脂肪太多，赘肉都一叠一叠地折叠着垂下。
4. 谐音“裤内折(多音字，这里将其念着：she, 折本的“折”)、裤蕾折(多音字，这里将其念着：she, 折本的“折”)”-------裤子的蕾丝边折了，有折痕。
5. creek, creep, crook, crumple => a widespread group of Germanic kr- words meaning "bent, hooked" => cr- + ease (放松的、松弛的) => crease: 非常放松的、松弛的而导致的弯曲而形成的折痕、皱纹。相反地不松弛，而是拉得很紧的话，显然就不会形成折痕。
6. 区别：crease, cease: 有一句著名的诗词说得非常好“有花堪折直须折，莫待无花空折枝”，通过这句诗词就可以非常形象地区分开这两个单词。
