Moistness is the quality of being moist — how slightly wet a thing is, often in a pleasant or useful way. You can speak of the moistness of a cake, of soil, of air. Though actually, moisture is the word people reach for much more often. Moisture is the water itself, the wet stuff in the air or in the food. Moistness is more like a score: the state of being moist. In real talk that line gets blurry, and moisture often does both jobs. Moistness is correct, but it can sound a little stiff, like a lab note or a tasting sheet.
濕潤度、潮濕的程度。口語多半改說水分/濕氣(moisture)。
