"manpower" in Chinese (Traditional)
Definition
可用於某項任務、項目或組織的工人數量或總勞動力。指的是人力資源的數量和能力,而非個人技能。
Usage Notes (Chinese (Traditional))
不可數名詞——沒有複數形式('manpowers' 是錯誤的)。一些寫作指南偏好性別中性的替代詞如 'workforce'、'personnel',但 'manpower' 在商業和軍事語境中仍廣泛使用。常見搭配:'manpower shortage'、'manpower planning'、'lack of manpower'。通常暗指體力或營運勞動,而非腦力勞動。
