An atelier is a room, or sometimes a small building, where an artist works — a painter, a sculptor, a fashion designer, a craftsperson. English borrowed the word from French and barely changed it, so it still sounds a little French and a little specialist: you meet it in art, design, and fashion more than in ordinary talk about “where I work.” A photographer or a band is more likely to say studio; an atelier is the making-place, not the gallery where finished work hangs on the wall.

An atelier is a roomatelier是一個房間or sometimes a small building或有時是一棟小建築a painter, a sculptor, a fashion designer, a craftsperson像畫家、雕塑家、時裝設計師、工藝師這樣where an artist works的藝術家工作的地方。English borrowed the word from French and barely changed it英文把這個字從法文借來，幾乎沒有改動so it still sounds a little French and a little specialist所以聽起來還是有點法式、有點專業: you meet it in art, design, and fashion你會在藝術、設計、時尚領域遇到這個字more than in ordinary talk about "where I work."比在一般聊「我在哪裡工作」時更常見。A photographer or a band is more likely to say studio攝影師或樂團比較會說studioan atelier is the making-placeatelier是製作的地方not the gallery where finished work hangs on the wall不是掛著完成作品的展示畫廊。

People do stretch it: a small clothes brand may call its workshop an atelier because that sounds closer to art than to a factory. Though actually, the older French picture is more workshop than temple — a place of pieces and making.

People do stretch it人們確實會延伸使用: a small clothes brand may call its workshop an atelier小服裝品牌可能把自己的工作坊稱為atelierbecause that sounds closer to art than to a factory因為那聽起來比較像藝術而不是工廠。Though actually不過其實the older French picture is more workshop than temple法文原本的畫面比較像工作坊而不是殿堂a place of pieces and making是一個充滿零件與製作過程的地方。
