  1. 1n/ˈhændikræft/ · /ˈhændikrɑːft/making things by hand手工藝

    An activity in which you use your hands to make things, such as , weaving, or making baskets.

    這個 handicraft 指「動手做東西的那項技藝本身」——縫紉、編織、做竹籃、捏陶都算。它通常用複數 handicrafts 來泛稱一整類活動，也常出現在課程名稱裡（a handicraft class）。重點在「靠手的技巧」，強調是人做的、需要練的。跟 craft（範圍更廣，包括木工、金工）比，handicraft 更偏向傳統、小型、手拿得動的那些。

    示範例句 · Example

    中文翻譯編織是這個村子裡最古老的手工藝之一。

  2. 2n/ˈhændikræft/ · /ˈhændikrɑːft/handmade object手工藝品

    An object that someone has made by hand in a way, such as a woven basket, a clay pot, or an embroidered cloth.

    同一個字，這次指的是「做出來的那個東西」——籃子、陶碗、繡花布巾。這個意思幾乎都用複數 handicrafts，最常出現在觀光和購物的場合：a shop selling handicrafts、local handicrafts。要分辨是哪個意思很簡單：句子裡在買、賣、擺、看的，是東西；在學、教、練的，是技藝。跟 souvenir（紀念品，重點在「帶回去」）不同，handicraft 強調的是「手做的」。
