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?

  • tour a journey made for pleasure during which several different places are visited 指游览多地的旅行、旅游a tour of Bavaria 巴伐利亚之旅
  • expedition an organized journey with a particular purpose, especially to find out about a place that is not well known 指远征、探险、考察the first expedition to the South Pole 首次去南极的探险
