paper mill operator Explanation: Have a nice week.

It sounds a bit weird but the construction of the sentence has an underlying subject, the ground floor. (planta inferior, soterrani, hi, espai). In English I would go for a slightly different approach: "The ground floor, usually the basement, is where the operator was: there the paper production process took place". |

Translation ES>EN: workshop / workroom (http://diccionario.reverso.net/espanol-ingles/obrador) Oxford says workroom -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-07-02 04:48:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The test itself also appears to clearly indicate that "obrador" refers to the place, not the person who does the work (i.e., obrador = espai on es feia el procés productiu del paper). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2008-07-02 08:14:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops: The text itself... |
