One before-and-after picture holds this word. Before: people and animals doing the work with their own bodies, walking, lifting, cutting. After: machines doing the same work, with the people now beside them or riding in them. Mechanized is the label for the after picture, and it says nothing by itself about whether the change was welcome.

這個字可以想成一組前後對照的照片。前面那張:人和牲口用自己的身體做事,走路、搬、割。後面那張:同樣的事由機器來做,人站在機器旁邊,或者坐在機器上。mechanized 就是貼在後面那張照片上的標籤。這個字本身不評價這個改變是好是壞,那要另外用句子說。
