×The conductor of the train is checking our tickets.

The conductor on the train is checking our tickets.

在談論火車、公車等交通工具上的「車長」或「售票員」時,通常使用介系詞 "on" 而非 "of"。"Of" 表示所屬關係,而 "on" 表示在該交通工具上工作。

Copper is a good conductor of heat.

當 "conductor" 指物理上的「導體」時,主語通常是物體或材料(如金屬、水),而不是人。人可以是「指揮家」或「車長」,但不會是熱或電的「導體」。

×She is the conductor for the orchestra.

指「樂團指揮」時,固定的搭配介系詞是 "of",表示其領導或指揮的對象。使用 "for" 在此語境中不自然。

My father is a train driver / engineer. He drives the train.

"Conductor" 在鐵路運輸中主要負責查票、服務乘客和安全,通常不是駕駛火車的人。駕駛火車的人是 "train driver"(英式)或 "engineer"(美式)。混淆了這兩個不同的職位。

當 "conductor" 指「導體」時,通常需要明確指出導的是什麼(如電、熱)。單獨使用 "a poor conductor" 語意不完整,聽者不清楚是導電性差還是導熱性差。

He works as a conductor on the subway.

談論在地鐵系統中擔任車長或售票員時,介系詞通常用 "on" 表示在該交通工具或線路上工作,類似於 "on a bus/train"。使用 "in" 聽起來像是在地鐵站內工作,而非在列車上。
