刻字雕花錶底蓋

------------------------

把"printed"和"engraved"分別譯為"刻字"和"雕花"
這樣是否正確?
謝謝!

Chinese translation:印花, 刻字
Explanation:
engraved一般都是指的字, 不是花纹。所以刻字是肯定的。
printed的是字还是图案因为没有看见上下文,不好判断。也有可能又有印的字,又有刻的字。
另外,engrave指的是在平面上‘刻’的一种形式 (凹进)。‘雕’是指高于平面以上的纹理 (凸出)。

neutral  Ambrose Li: print 是「印」應該是肯定的,至於 engraved,也未必是字,也可以是花 (或者logo,廠商的網站可以找到他們的至少一款錶有engraved logo) / 其實圖案甚至照片也可以engrave的,這種用法可在至少一間美術協會和一間美術學院的網站找到

  -> logo 是没错的。不过logo就不算是纯粹图案了。没有把刻画纯粹的花纹图案叫engrave的。
