喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ɪˌlekˈtrɪʃən/電工

    A trained worker who fits electrical wiring and equipment, and repairs it when it breaks.

    「electrician」是「工作就是接電線、修電器設備的人」，中文最常說電工，比較正式也可以說電氣技師。常見說法：call an electrician（請電工來）、hire / employ an electrician（雇一名電工）、train as an electrician（受訓當電工）。核心畫面可以想成「專門處理電線和電器設備的職業角色」。它跟 electricity、electrical engineer 容易並排：electrician 是「這個人」；electricity 是「電／電力」本身；electrical engineer 多半偏設計與系統，讀書與訓練路徑通常更長。

Wiktionary

Picture the person you call when a socket stops working: they open the wall, look at the wiring, and put it right. It is a trained trade — the word names the job, not just anyone who happens to be handy with wires.

可以想成：插座壞掉時你會打電話找的那個人——他打開牆面、看看線路，把它修好。這是一門受過訓練的專業技術，這個字指的是那份職業，不是隨便會接電線的人。
