英語口語中各種旅遊的含義

剛剛經過一個端午小長假，很多朋友都出門旅行去了，關於旅行，英語中有travel, journey,trip等等的說法，你知道這些詞有什麼區別嗎？

Travel

As a noun, 'travel' refers to the activity in general and is generally used as an uncountable noun.
travel做名詞的時候指的是旅行這種行爲本身，通常用作不可數名詞。

例句：

I enjoy travel and playing golf.
我喜歡旅行和打高爾夫。
Travel and music are two of my favorite activities.

'Travel' can also be used as a verb and refers to the activity of moving from one place to another. Generally, 'travel' is used as a general verb and is rather formal. People often use the mode of transport to express this activity.
travel還可以用作動詞，指的是從某地到另一地的行爲。通常travel這個動詞很正式，人們更願意用交通工具來表達這種行爲。

例句：

I travelled by plane to Madrid. = I flew to Madrid.

She travelled more than three hundred miles to get to the meeting. = She drove more than three hundred miles to get to the meeting.

Sometimes, 'travel' is also used as a countable noun in the plural form. In this case, it is often used in the sense that someone has been to many different places during one longer journey. This usage is also rather formal, and isn't likely to be used much in everyday speech.
有時候，travel也用作可數名詞，只用複數形式。在這種情況下，通常是表示一個人在一次長途旅行中到達過很多地方，這種用法也同樣很正式，不經常用於生活口語中。
