travel, trip, journey,tour,voyage的用法辨析
1. travel 泛指一般意义的旅行,是不可数名词。
travel作“旅行、游历”解,一般表示从一地到另一地旅行这一总的概念。常指长时间、远距离的“旅行”。尤指出国旅行。可作动词和名词。
At present, many
people are fond of travel in their spare time.
I am reading a book about the travel to North Pole.
They came home after years of foreign travel.
Light travels faster than sound.
He is fond of travel (= travelling). 他喜欢旅行。
Travel is much cheaper than it used to be. 现在旅行比过去便宜多了。
注:有时可用复数形式,主要指时间较长的各处旅行,此时通常有物主代词修饰,但是尽管用了复数形式,却不能与 many 或数词连用。
如:
He’s gone off on his travels again. 他又外出旅行了。
另外,travel 通常只是泛指旅行,而不特指某次具体的旅行,所以通常不说:How was your travel?
2. journey 通常指远距离的陆地旅行,并且不一定要返回到出发地(即通常指单程)。有时也可以表示经常走的或长或短的“路程”。只作名词。
I took a journey from Beijing to Shanghai last year.
I wish you a pleasant journey. 祝你一路顺风。
He made a journey to Beijing. 他去北京旅行了。
注:journey 有时并不指真正意义的“旅行”,而只是表示走过一段距离。
-- How long is your
journey to school? --Only about 10 minutes.
How long is your journey to work? 你上班要走多远?
3. trip
通常指近距离的为了办事或消遣而进行旅行,并且往往要回到出发点(即指双程),不过有时 trip 也可指远距离的长途旅行,可与
journey 换用,在非正式用语中可代替journey,比 journey 更通俗。只作名词。例如:
We made a boat trip to the island last week and had a good
time.
I will be on a trip to / journey to the south next summer
holiday.
A:Where is John? 约翰在哪里?
B:He’s on a trip to Shanghai. 他去上海旅行了。
4.
voyage主要指远距离的水上旅行,也可以指空中旅行意思为“航海、航空、航行”等。只作名词。例如:
She usually gets seasick during the voyage.

5. tour
着重指旅行线路比较曲折,常表示“(周游各地的)参观、访问、(巡回)旅游、视察、购物、演出”等意思。可作动词和名词。例如:
I will tour the world in the future.
