manufacturing vs production
「manufacturing」通常指使用機器將原材料製造成具體產品的工業過程，強調實體物品的製造。而「production」含義更廣，可指任何產品或服務的產出，包括製造、農業、能源甚至藝術創作。
manufacturing vs fabrication
「manufacturing」指大規模、系統化的產品製造過程。而「fabrication」常指根據特定設計或規格，將材料組裝或建構成最終產品的過程，有時更強調金屬加工或訂製組裝。
manufacturing vs assembly
「manufacturing」是涵蓋從原材料到成品的完整生產過程。而「assembly」特指將已製造好的零件或部件組裝在一起的最後階段，是製造過程的一部分。
在對話中，當引述或轉述他人關於製造業的觀點或普遍看法時，常用此詞。 EN: He was talking about how manufacturing is moving overseas. 翻譯: 他當時在談論製造業如何轉移到海外。
EN:Everyone says manufacturing jobs aren't what they used to be.
翻譯:大家都說製造業的工作已經今非昔比了。
用於強調某物是「製造出來的」或「工業生產的」，以對比於天然或手工的。 EN: This isn't some handmade craft; it's mass manufacturing. 翻譯: 這不是什麼手工藝品，這是大量製造的產物。
EN:The problem is with the manufacturing process itself.
翻譯:問題出在製造過程本身。
在組織思緒或尋找合適詞彙時，可能用此詞作為短暫的停頓填充，尤其在討論產業或經濟話題時。 EN: The future of, uh, manufacturing... it really depends on automation. 翻譯: 呃，製造業的未來…真的取決於自動化。
EN:Our focus should be on—well, manufacturing and technology.
翻譯:我們的焦點應該放在—嗯，製造業和科技上。
正式寫作注意：在學術報告或正式文件中，應避免將「manufacturing」用於停頓填充等口語用途，並需確保其用法精確，指涉具體的工業生產活動或部門。

"Manufacturing" 作為動詞的現在分詞或動名詞時，不應加上 "s"。"Manufacturings" 不是一個正確的單字。
×He works in manufacturing.
✓He works in the manufacturing sector.
當泛指「製造業」這個產業時，通常會使用 "the manufacturing sector/industry" 或 "manufacturing" 作為形容詞修飾名詞。單獨說 "in manufacturing" 雖然有時可見，但在正式或明確指稱產業時，加上 "sector" 或 "industry" 並使用定冠詞 "the" 更為精確。
×The city has many manufacturings.
✓The city has many manufacturing plants.
"Manufacturing" 作為名詞時是不可數的，指「製造」這個活動或過程。它不能直接以複數形式表示多個工廠或企業。要表示具體的製造地點，應使用 "manufacturing plants", "factories", 或 "manufacturing companies"。
×manufacuring, manufakturing
✓manufacturing
常見的拼字錯誤包括漏掉 "t" (manufacuring) 或將 "c" 誤拼為 "k" (manufakturing)。正確拼法為 "manufacturing"，注意中間的 "t" 和 "c"。
×They are involved with manufacturing of medical devices.
✓They are involved in the manufacturing of medical devices.
表達「參與、從事」製造活動時，慣用的介系詞是 "in" (be involved in, specialize in, work in)。使用 "with" 在此情境下不自然。
