用法說明

How is "Travel" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Travel"?

travel doing vs travel to do

  • travel doing 通常描述在旅途中進行的伴隨性活動或狀態,焦點在於「一邊旅行,一邊...」。
  • travel to do 則強調旅行的「目的」或「意圖」,表示「為了做某事而去旅行」。
  • 在描述習慣或經常性的旅行活動時,兩者有時可互換,但 travel to do 的目的性更強。
  • 在談論具體、單一次的旅行計畫時,使用 travel to do 更為自然。 EN: She loves traveling meeting new people. 翻譯: 她喜歡旅行時結識新朋友。

EN:She will travel to attend an important conference next month.

翻譯:她下個月將出差去參加一個重要會議。

EN:They often travel visiting historical sites.

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Travel"?Which "Travel" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I traveled to Japan last year.

I traveled to Japan last year.

在英式英語中,動詞 'travel' 的過去式與過去分詞為 'travelled',而美式英語則使用 'traveled'。此處的 'traveled' 是美式拼寫,在英式英語環境下會被視為拼寫錯誤。學習者應根據目標使用環境選擇正確的拼寫形式。

×I want to travel to home.

I want to go home.

'Travel' 通常指前往一個非居住地的、較遠或不同的地點。'Home'(家)被視為一個目的地或狀態,而非旅行的終點。表示『回家』應使用 'go home' 或 'return home'。'Travel home' 在特定語境下(如長途跋涉回家)雖可使用,但並不常見。

×I am going to travel a plane to London.

I am going to travel to London by plane.

表達旅行所使用的交通工具時,應使用介系詞 'by' 加上交通工具(如 by plane, by train)。'Travel' 本身是動詞,後面不直接接交通工具作為賓語。正確結構是 'travel to [地點] by [交通工具]'。

×I like travel.

I like to travel. / I like traveling.

動詞 'like' 後面接另一個動詞時,必須使用不定詞(to + V)或動名詞(V-ing)形式。不能直接接動詞原形。'Travel' 在此處需變為 'to travel' 或 'traveling'。

×How long does it take to travel there? - It takes 5 hours travel.

How long does it take to travel there? - It takes 5 hours.

在回答旅行時間時,'It takes [時間].' 已經完整表達了『需要花費...時間』的意思。在時間(如 5 hours)後面再加 'travel' 是多餘且錯誤的。'Travel' 在此是動詞,不應作為名詞附加在時間單位後。

×I traveled many countries.

I have traveled to many countries. / I visited many countries.

'Travel' 作為不及物動詞時,不能直接接受詞。必須透過介系詞 'to', 'in', 'around', 'across' 等來連接地點。若要直接以地點為受詞,應使用及物動詞如 'visit' 或 'tour'。
