- 1機器製的、機器做的(對下手做的/手工的)
Machine-made means a machine made it, not a person’s hands. Labels and shops set it against handmade: machine-made lace, machine-made pasta, machine-made paper. It does not by itself mean cheap or badly made. A machine-made thing is often very even, and that evenness can be the point. Though actually, a lot of things sold as handmade still touch a machine somewhere, so the tidy pair handmade / machine-made is tidier than factory life. The word is a calm, factual adjective. It is not rude.
machine-made 形容東西是機器做的,不是人手做的。常見的例子是 「machine-made lace」、「machine-made pasta」和 「machine-made paper」。它常和手工製品相對,但本身不代表便宜或做得粗糙。機器做的東西常常很平均整齊,這種平均有時正是重點。
不過,很多標榜手工的東西其實也有機器參與,所以手工與機器製這組對照,比實際情況單純一些。它是平實、客觀的形容詞,不帶冒犯的意思。
組成machine + made (the past form of make). A hyphenated adjective.
