craftsmanship

Compared meaning: the skill needed to make something well (noun).

比较义项：制作事物所需的技艺、手艺（名词）。

• craft

  Craft names the skill, trade or art form itself and can also be used as a verb ('to craft'); it is a general term for a handmade skill, not a judgment on quality.

  craft 指技艺、行业或艺术形式本身，也可作动词（to craft，意为精心制作）；它是对手工技能的通称，并不评价做工好坏。

  Pottery is a traditional craft that takes years of patient practice to master.

  制陶是一门需要多年耐心练习才能掌握的传统手艺。

• craftsmanship 本词

  Craftsmanship is an uncountable noun for the quality of skill shown in a finished piece of work; it is used to praise how well something was made and is never used as a verb.

  craftsmanship 是不可数名词，指成品所体现出的技艺水平；它用来称赞东西做得多好，绝不能作动词使用。

  Buyers happily pay extra for furniture known for its fine craftsmanship.

  买家很乐意为以精湛做工闻名的家具多花钱。

Craft and craftsmanship both relate to skill in making things. Craft names the skill or trade itself and can also be a verb, as in to craft something. Craftsmanship is an uncountable noun praising the skill shown in finished work; it is never a verb.

这两个词都可以表示“做工／技艺”，但 craft 既可以指技艺、行业本身，也可以作动词（精心制作）；craftsmanship 只作不可数名词，专指成品所体现出的做工水准，语气更偏向称赞。craft 还有“工艺品、手工艺行业、（狡猾的）诡计、飞行器”等其他意思，这里不涉及。
