| Phrase | meter |
| Text | The word "meter," in this podcast, means a device that calculates how much a passenger should pay to a taxi driver based on the distance traveled and the amount of time that has passed: "Driver, please stop so I can run into the store for a minute. You can leave the meter running." A "meter" is also a device that measures usage of electricity, water, or another service: "The electric company sends someone to the house to read the meter during the first week of each month." Finally, a "parking meter" is a device on the side of the street that people put coins into in order to park a car next to it for a period of time: "This is taking longer than I thought, so I need to put a few more coins in the parking meter." |
