A workman usually does building or repair work. You can talk about both skilled and unskilled labourers/workmen, but in general a workman is more likely than a labourer to be skilled and to use machinery or technology. For example, a builder could be called a workman; a builder's labourer is sb who helps a builder, doing the less skilled jobs. * labourer指在农场或农村等干体力活的人,workman通常指做建筑或修理工作的人。可以用skilled和unskilled形容这两个词,但是workman往往比labourer技能水平高,也更有可能使用机器或应用技术。比如建筑工人可以称为workman。builder's labourer指给建筑工人打下手的人,做些较低技术的工作。
