travel

★★★★

🇺🇸 /tɹˈævʌl/

noun 编号: T02085 牛津3000 BNC #1132 COCA #1081

travel既可以作名词，表示旅行、旅途或沿路线的移动，也可以作动词，表示旅行、从一处移动到另一处，以及游历某地。

💡 记忆钩子

把travel想成“带着行李从这里走到那里”的移动线：人走在路上是“旅行”，一连串路程是“旅途”，把某地走遍就是“游历”；这个核心也能延伸到球、交通流动和机器部件的移动距离。

📝 学习建议

先掌握动词“旅行、去各处”和名词不可数的“旅行活动”，再学习复数表示一连串旅程。
不要把travel只理解成“旅游”；它也可指工作出差、普通移动，甚至物体或信号的传递。
表示具体的一次旅行时，通常用a trip，而不是直接把travel当作可数名词使用。

📖 中文释义

noun

core 旅行活动

📖 travel指从一个地方到另一个地方的旅行这一活动，重点是整体经历，而不是某一次具体行程。

💡 常见结构是like/enjoy travel或travel for work；这里通常把travel当作不可数名词使用。要说一次具体旅行，用a trip更自然；travel本身不能随意加复数表示“一次旅行”。

countable uncountable

I enjoy travel, even when the flights are long.

我喜欢旅行，即使航班时间很长。
common 一连串旅程

📖 travels通常表示一段时间内进行的多次旅行，强调不断从一个地方走到另一个地方的经历。

💡 常见结构是go/be off on one's travels；这个意思通常用复数travels。它比普通的travel更像“到各处奔波的一连串旅程”，常带有叙述或个人经历的色彩。

countable in-plural uncountable

She wrote about her travels through South America.

她写下了自己在南美各地旅行的经历。
common 旅行记述

📖 travels还可以指一个人把旅行经历写成的记述、游记或旅行见闻，而不只是实际走过的路程。

💡 常见结构是publish/read someone's travels；通常用复数形式，语气偏书面。上下文若出现书、文章或出版，travels往往应理解为“旅行记述”，而不是单纯的旅行活动。

countable in-plural uncountable

The museum displayed her travels in a small book.

博物馆以一本小书的形式展出了她的旅行记述。
common 路线上的流动

📖 在交通或路线语境中，travel可指人、车辆等沿某条路线经过或流动的情况。

💡 常见于traffic/travel along a road和travel through a tunnel等结构，具体含义由路线或交通语境决定。这里不是“去旅行”的个人活动，而是某处的通行或流量；交通报道和技术说明中较常见。

countable uncountable

Morning travel on this road is usually slow.

这条路上的早高峰通行通常很慢。
rare 机械行程

📖 在机械语境中，travel指部件工作时来回移动的动作或移动行程，也就是核心“移动距离”的延伸。

💡 常见结构是the travel of a lever或have too much travel；只用于机械和工具说明。不要把这里的travel理解成人的旅行。

countable uncountable
rare 分娩阵痛

📖 这是古旧用法，travel曾指分娩时的劳苦或阵痛，与“艰苦劳作”的早期词义有关。

💡 通常只在历史文献或古旧文本中出现，现代英语中不要用它表示分娩。现代语境应使用表示分娩或阵痛的常用词。

countable obsolete uncountable
rare 按键下移距离

📖 在键盘说明中，travel指按键被按下时垂直移动的距离，是机械“行程”义的具体应用。

💡 常见结构是key travel或have short/long travel；主要出现在键盘评测和产品规格中。它说的是按键移动多远，不是键盘的旅行功能。

countable uncountable

travels plural

verb

core 旅行

📖 travel作动词时，表示为了工作、休闲或其他目的，从一个地方到另一个地方旅行，通常带有一段路程或行程。

💡 常见结构是travel to a place、travel by train和travel for work；它通常是不及物动词。说具体一次出行时，go on a trip或take a trip往往比把travel当作“参加一次旅行”更自然。

intransitive

She travels to London every week for work.

她每周都因工作去伦敦。

We travelled by train across the country.

我们乘火车穿越了这个国家。
common 移动或传递

📖 travel也可表示物体、声音、光线、信息等从一个地方移动或传到另一个地方，核心仍是“沿路走过去”。

💡 常见结构是sound/light/information travels through或travel from one place to another；主语通常是物体、信号或信息。这里不是人在旅行，翻译时应根据上下文理解为“传播、传到或移动”。

intransitive

Sound travels faster through water than through air.

声音在水中的传播速度比在空气中快。
common 带球走步

📖 在篮球等球类运动中，travel特指球员没有按规则运球就带球移动，属于犯规。

💡 常见结构是be called for traveling或travel with the ball；这是体育术语，不是普通的“旅行”。中文学习者不要把它和正常带球移动混为一谈。

intransitive

The referee called traveling when the player took three steps.

球员走了三步后，裁判判定他带球走步。
core 游历某地

📖 travel作及物动词时，可以直接接一个国家、地区或世界，表示在其中各处旅行、把它走遍，而不是只去其中一个地点。

💡 常见结构是travel the world/country/region；地点直接作宾语，不要说travel to the world来表达“游历全世界”。若只是前往某个地点，则用travel to that place。

transitive

After university, he travelled the world for two years.

大学毕业后，他花了两年时间周游世界。
rare 迫使旅行

📖 这是古旧用法，表示强迫某人离开原地、踏上旅程，是“让人移动”的特殊延伸。

💡 主要出现在历史或法律文学文本中，现代英语几乎不用。现代语境应根据具体意思改用force someone to leave或make someone travel等表达。

transitive
rare 劳作或受苦

📖 这是过时的用法，表示辛苦劳作或受苦，与travel早期和“艰苦劳作”有关的词义相连。

💡 只需在古典或历史文本中识别，不要在现代会话中用travel表达“辛苦工作”。现代英语通常用work hard、labour或suffer。

🌳 词源

名词和动词都与中古英语中“艰苦旅行、劳作”的词有关；现代travel逐渐取代了古英语中表示远行的本族词。

PIE word *tréyes From Middle English travelen (“to make a laborious journey, travel”) from Middle Scots travailen (“to toil, work, travel”), alteration of Middle English travaillen (“to toil, work”), from Old French travailler (“to trouble, suffer, be worn out”). See the doublets travail and travois. Compare typologically routine << Latin rupta via. Note the inverse semantic vectors: travel moves from a subjective state (toil) to an objective action (journey), while routine moves from an objective object (beaten path) to a subjective pattern (habit). Largely displaced native fare, from Old English faran (“to go [a long distance], to travel”). More at fare.
