| Text | The word "operator," in this podcast, means a person who drives a large vehicle or machine, especially by operating computers: "The company has a strict policy against operators using heavy machinery while under the influence of alcohol or medications." An "operator" is also someone who operates a large number of telephones, transferring calls to the appropriate person or department: "Thank you for calling Acme Corporation. Press one for sales, press two for technical support, or press three to speak to the operator." Finally, a "tour operator" is a company that arranges and sells tours and other excursions: "The tour operator sold us a package that includes all flights, ground transportation, lodging, and admission fees for three days, but not meals." |
