“Travel” 作动词指前往不同地方,尤指较长距离或出国;作不可数名词可指旅行这件事交通流动(如 air travel)。英式过去式过去分词常用 travelled,美式常写作 traveled

  2. “Business travel picked up again after the restrictions ended.” (限制解除后,商务出行又多了起来。)
  3. “Light travels faster than sound.” (光比声音传播得快。)

来自古法语 travail(辛劳、艰苦努力),与拉丁语 trepalium(一种刑具)有争议性词源关联;现代义“旅行”由“艰辛路程”的联想弱化而来,细节学界仍有讨论,学习者掌握现代常用义即可。

“Travel” 作基础动词,派生常见词如 traveler/traveller(旅行者)、traveling/travelling,通过 -er/-ing 等后缀构成。

护照、签证、保险、低碳出行等话题里 travel 高频出现。疫情后 travel restrictionstravel bubble 等表达曾常见于新闻。日常可说 travel light(轻装旅行)。

  • 固定搭配: “travel abroad” (出国旅行), “travel agency” (旅行社), “time travel” (时间旅行)
