    A person or a company whose business is to arrange for books, newspapers, magazines etc to be written, made, and sold.

    示範例句 · Example

    Mei sent her story to a publisher, and they wrote back three months later.

    逐字美將她的故事寄給一家出版社，而他們三個月後回信了。

    publisher 是「把一本書（或一份報紙）弄出來、賣出去的那一方」，它管三件事：找人寫、把它做成書、再賣給讀者。這個字可以想成從 publish（把作品公開給大家）長出來的：加上 -er 就是「讓作品出得來的那一方」。它可以是一家公司（出版社），也可以是一個人（報社的發行人），因為這個字講的是「誰負責把它出出來」，不是規模大小。

core核心畫面

You can think of the publisher as the one who takes something written and carries it out to the public — deciding what gets written, paying for it to be edited and printed, and putting it where people can buy it. Not the writer, and not the shop: the party in between who makes the book exist as a thing on sale.

可以想成：作者把稿子寫出來，書店把書賣出去，而 publisher 站在中間——決定哪一本值得做、出錢請人編輯校對、安排印刷、把書鋪到通路上。他做的事可以總結成一句：把寫好的東西送到公眾面前。這個角色可以是一家公司（出版社），也可以是一個人（自己出書的出版者）；報紙、雜誌同樣有 publisher。
