You meet it你會遇到它 in two directions分兩個方向: praise稱讚 — 'beautiful workmanship,' 'fine workmanship,''beautiful workmanship'、'fine workmanship' said of furniture, a watch, a suit, a temple roof用來說家具、手錶、西裝、廟宇屋頂 — and complaint和抱怨, which is where learners meet it most in real life這是學習者在現實生活中最常遇到它的地方, because因為 'poor workmanship' or 'faulty workmanship''poor workmanship' 或 'faulty workmanship' in guarantees, insurance papers, and building disputes在保固書、保險文件和建築糾紛裡 is the standard phrase是標準說法.
