Spiky is used more in everyday language or literary contexts to talk about sth that is covered in, or is shaped like sharp points. Spiny is used in more scientific texts describing plants and animals covered in points that look like needles. * spiky多用於日常語言或文學語境下，指帶尖刺，或形似尖刺。spiny多用於科學文本中，指植物和動物長有針刺◆a spiny anteater / lobster / mouse / mollusc / sea urchin針鼹；帶刺的龍蝦；刺毛鼠；多刺的軟體動物／海膽 Prickly is often used to describe how you imagine it would feel if you touched it. Prickles are usually shorter than the points on spiky or spiny things. * prickly常會引起刺痛的聯想。 prickle指動植物身上的刺，通常比spiky或spiny所形容的刺短。 ■ bristly ˈbrɪsli like or full of bristles (= short stiff hairs) 剛毛似的；布滿剛毛的◆He stroked his bristly chin.他摸了摸自己胡子拉碴的下巴。
