今天我們將學(xué)習(xí)Trip和Travel的區(qū)別!

General Rule

一般規(guī)則

Ok, as a general rule, in 95% of the cases, trip is a noun and travel is a verb.

一般規(guī)則即95%的情況下，trip是名詞而travel是動(dòng)詞。

e.g. I traveled to Germany last weekend.

上周我去德國(guó)旅游了。

I took a trip.

我去旅行了。

You can also say "to make a trip," but this is more, it's a shorter trip that has a specific purpose.

你可以說(shuō)“to make a trip”，但是這通常是短途出行而且有一定目的。

e.g. I made a trip to the grocery store to buy some milk.

我去了雜貨店買(mǎi)牛奶。

So, in most cases, trip is a noun and travel is a verb.

所以，大多情況下，trip是名詞而travel是動(dòng)詞。

When Is It Different?

區(qū)別

Sometimes, you can actually use travel as a noun.

有時(shí)候，travel也可以作名詞。

e.g. Travel expands your perspective on life.That's a noun.

旅行能增長(zhǎng)生活閱歷，這時(shí)travel就作名詞。

Or, if you use with the possessive. e.g. My travels really expanded my perspective.

或者和所有格形容詞連用。例如：我的旅行增加了我的閱歷。

This is more like my collective experience of traveling.

作名詞時(shí)，travel表達(dá)的是所有旅行經(jīng)歷這個(gè)整體。

And trip, when used as a verb, is to trip over something, when you're walking and something blocks your path, and you fall. That's to trip.

trip同樣可以用作動(dòng)詞，用法是“trip over something”，表示走路時(shí)有東西擋路，導(dǎo)致你摔倒了。

It's also used when you trip on drugs, like on LSD, or if you have a crazy idea.

trip還可以和藥物聯(lián)用，如“trip on LSD”表示服用迷幻藥后產(chǎn)生幻覺(jué)，也可以表示你有了一個(gè)瘋狂的想法。

So trip can be used as a synonym for travel, but this is quite rare, and it's usually used for like a short trip.

所以trip可以作為travel的同義詞，但是非常少見(jiàn)，而且一般只用來(lái)形容短途出行。
