These are all words for an act of travelling to a place. 以上各词均指旅行、旅游。

trip an act of travelling from one place to another, and usually back again 通常指往返的旅行：◆a business trip 出差◆a five-minute trip by taxi 五分钟的出租车车程
journey an act of travelling from one place to another, especially when they are a long way apart 尤指长途旅行：◆a long and difficult journey across the mountains 漫长而艰难的翻山旅行

trip or journey? 用 trip 还是 journey？

A trip usually involves you going to a place and back again; a journey is usually one-way. A trip is often shorter than a journey, although it does not have to be. * trip 通常为往返旅行，journey 通常为单程旅行。trip 的行程常较 journey 短，但并非一定如此：◆a trip to New York 去纽约的旅行◆a round-the-world trip 环球旅行It is often short in time, even if it is long in distance. Journey is more often used when the travelling takes a long time and is difficult. In North American English journey is not used for short trips. 即使距离远，trip 所花时间常常不长。如果旅程长且艰难较常用 journey。在美式英语中，journey 不用以指短途旅行：◆(BrE) What is your journey to work like? 你上班的路程如何？
