释义

A conductor is someone who directs an orchestra or choir, a material that allows electricity or heat to flow, or a person who collects tickets on buses and trains.

用法与细微差别

'Conductor' in music is formal (orchestra/choir). In science, it's a technical term for materials like metal. In transportation, it's less common in modern American English (now often 'driver' or 'attendant'). Don't confuse 'conductor' (musical leader) with 'conductor' (bus worker) or 'conductor' (electricity).
