craft

Compared meaning: a job or skill requiring training (noun).

比较义项：需要专门技能的职业／手艺（名词）。

• trade

  Trade refers to a skilled occupation or job, especially one learned through training or apprenticeship such as plumbing or carpentry; it emphasizes the job as a livelihood, not the artistic skill of making things.

  “trade”指需要经过培训或学徒历练才能从事的职业或行业，如管道工、木工，强调这是谋生的行业，而不强调制作物品的手工技艺。

  He left school at sixteen to learn a trade as an electrician.

  他十六岁就离开学校，去学做电工这一行。

• craft 本词

  Craft refers to a skill in making things by hand, especially artistic or traditional work like pottery or weaving; it emphasizes the hands-on making itself, not the job category.

  “craft”指用手工制作物品的技艺，尤指陶艺、编织等传统或艺术性的手工活动，强调动手制作本身，而非职业分类。

  Pottery is a craft she learned from her grandmother.

  陶艺是她从祖母那里学来的一门手艺。

Trade and craft both relate to a skilled occupation. Trade means a skilled job learned through training, like plumbing, stressing a way to earn a living. Craft means skill in making things by hand, especially art or traditional work like pottery, stressing the making itself.

这两个词在“技能类工作”这一义项上意思相近，但侧重点不同：trade 强调需经训练或学徒历练才能从事的职业或行业，craft 强调用手制作物品的技艺本身。这里不比较 trade 的“贸易，买卖”义项，也不比较 craft 的“诡计”义项。
