- 1n/kənˈtroʊlər/ · /kənˈtrəʊlə/person in charge of a system管理者 / 調度員
A person who is in charge of a particular system or organization, or of one part of it, and who decides how it runs from moment to moment.
「controller」的畫面可以想成「盯著一套系統、決定它下一步怎麼走的人」。它跟 manager 的感覺不同：manager 管的是人和事務，controller 管的是一個會即時出狀況的系統——最典型的是 air traffic controller（航管員），坐在塔台上決定哪架飛機什麼時候起降。看到這個字，先想「他前面有一個要盯住的系統」。
示範例句 · Example
Air traffic controllers tell each plane when it is safe to land.
中文翻譯航空交通管制員告訴每一架飛機什麼時候降落是安全的。

- 2n/kənˈtroʊlər/ · /kənˈtrəʊlə/head of finance財務主管 / 主計
正式A person in a company or a government department who is in charge of the money coming in and going out, and who keeps the accounts in order.
這是 controller 在公司和政府裡的職稱用法：管錢進錢出的那個人，寫成 financial controller 或 city controller。它跟 accountant 的分工不一樣——accountant 記帳、算帳，controller 是決定錢怎麼收怎麼付，並且看住整套帳務的人。台灣公司的「財務主管」「主計」大致是同一個位置，語氣正式。
