Manufacturing

强调工厂流水线、供应链与品控,把原材料转化为成品;宏观经济统计里 “manufacturing sector” 与服务业相对。

  1. “The region rebuilt its economy around advanced manufacturing and logistics.” (该地区围绕先进制造业与物流重建经济。)
  2. “Lean manufacturing helped the plant cut waste without layoffs.” (精益生产帮助工厂减少浪费又未裁员。)
  3. “New tariffs disrupted manufacturing orders for small exporters.” (新关税打乱了小型出口商的制造订单。)

拉丁语 manus(手)+ factura(制作)→ manufactura(手工制成),经古法语进入英语。

“manufacture” 加 “-ing” 作动名词或行业名词,指制造活动整体。

欧美去工业化后再提 “reshoring manufacturing”;新闻常与就业、自动化、碳排放并列讨论。

  • 固定搭配: “manufacturing industry” (制造业), “lean manufacturing” (精益生产)
  • 动词: manufacture;名词: manufacturer

manu-(手)+ fact(做)→ 用手(现多指机器)批量做出来 → manufacturing。

“Robots on the manufacturing floor handle welding while engineers monitor quality data upstairs.” (制造车间的机器人负责焊接,工程师在楼上监控质量数据。)
