原來如此 tradesman, lift bio : shoplift, shopkeeper,


1977年在英國第一次注意到"shoplift may be prosecuted" 的說法

當然知道 shoplift 意 To steal (articles or an article) from a store that is open for business.
不過沒深究 lift 的一般說法 為"偷"

    對管理當局而言,不管是從事管理工作或現場工作的人,都已變成了商品(commodity)。我與某家公司的40位熟練技工(tradesman)聊天,該公司的業務很不錯。他們最大的抱怨就是,他們常常要等到星期4才能知道下星期是否有工作。其中有一個人便說:「我們是一種商品。」這名詞——商品,正是我找了很久的字眼。

    tradesman or tradesperson is a skilled manual worker in a particular trade or craft not in the liberal arts, "learned professions" or agriculture.[1] Economically and socially, a tradesman's status is considered between a laborer and a professional, with a high degree of both practical and theoretical knowledge of his or her trade. In cultures where professional careers are highly prized, there can be a shortage of skilled manual workers, leading to lucrative niche markets in the trades.
