In fact if my career in theoretical physics hadn't worked out my backup plan was to become a professional ticket taker.

事实上如果我理论物理学的工作没成，我的后备计划是打算当一个职业检票员。

When we got inside, there was " a ticket taker."

当我们进去时， 有一个“检票员” 。

She's a ticket taker at the local movie theater.

她是当地电影院的售票员。

There was a ticket taker just inside the door.

门口刚好有个售票员。

A " ticket taker" is the person who takes your ticket so you can get inside the theater.

“ticket taker” 是为您拿票以便您进入剧院的人。

The doors to the theater were open and we handed our tickets to the ticket takers standing in the doorway.

剧院的门是开着的，我们把票交给站在门口的检票员。

In this case, the ticket is torn or ripped in half, and the ticket taker gives you back half of the ticket, sort of like a receipt.

在这种情况下， 票被撕裂或撕成两半，售票员把一半的票还给你， 有点像收据。

I say, " The doors to the theater were open and we handed" – or gave – " our tickets to the ticket takers." A " ticket taker" does exactly what you might expect.

我说，“剧院的门是开着的， 我们递给”——或给了——“我们的票给售票员” 。 “售票员” 的行为完全符合您的预期。
