1. 1低科技的

    Low-tech describes a way of working that does not use the newest machines or computer systems. A low-tech factory might still use simple tools and human hands; a low-tech classroom might use paper and a instead of tablets. It is the everyday opposite of high-tech. Sometimes people say it with a smile, meaning simple and solid; sometimes they say it with disappointment, meaning behind the times. In business and industry it is often a calm label, though it can sound like a judgement if you are talking about a company that 'should' have modern kit. Though actually, low-tech does not mean 'no skill' or 'stupid'. A wooden boat or a paper map can be low-tech and still be clever.

    low-tech 用來形容不使用最新機器或電腦系統的工作方式,是 high-tech 的日常反義詞。例如「a low-tech factory」可能仍然用簡單工具和人手,「a low-tech classroom」可能用紙和黑板,而不是平板。

    說這個字時,語氣可以不同:有人帶著笑意,意思是簡單紮實;有人帶著失望,意思是落後於時代。在商業和產業裡,它通常是中性的標籤,不過若用來談一家理應有新設備的公司,就會帶有評價的意味。它也不等於沒有技術或很笨,木船和紙地圖都可以是低科技,卻很聰明。

組成low + tech, where tech is a short form of technology (machines and methods). Built as the opposite of high-tech.
