معنی و توضیح
A “private school,” in this podcast, is an academic institution designed to serve a small group of students, owned and operated by a private business or a nonprofit organization, usually with families paying for their children to attend: “Private schools offer a good education, but the students rarely interact with children from poor families.” A “private eye” is a detective or an investigator hired by an individual: “Gwendolyn hired a private eye to follow her husband and determine whether he was cheating on her.” Finally, the “private sector” refers to all for- profit businesses, and not government or nonprofit organizations: “The government struggles to hire good computer programmers, because they can earn so much more money by working in the private sector.”
