這次的主題是"旅遊"，所以我想要找一些能真正吸引人的東西。

可惜我找了好久，到現在都沒找到，外國人好像很少寫台灣人那種圖文並茂的遊記，而且我眼光挑剔，總是覺得沒有找到適合的。

我選了巴塞隆納當作這次的主題。

我去找了些旅遊的單字。

Travel 特別用於到遠方或長時間的旅行，多用動詞表示。

ex: I travelled from Sant'Arsenio to Turin'

travel當不可數名詞的時候也可以指"旅行"這件事

ex: 'he returned home to Sant'Arseno after years of foriegn travel.'

相反的，travels加了s，當作可數名詞的時候，一般的旅行,一個地方到另一個地方

ex: 'did you visit Jakarta during your travels in South-East Asia?'.

另外，journey這個字，表示一段相當長距離的旅程，當考慮到旅行的時間和距離時，則用此字。

ex: They've all finished their journey (not 'travel') now.

還有另外一個單字叫 voyage，跟journey一樣的意思，不過指的是海上的journey.

ex: The voyage from America to France used to take two months. 從美國到法國的航海，過去要花兩個月的時間

trip 指的是短途旅行，或在另一地僅度過一小段時間後即返回的旅行。


ex: make a business trip to + ...   到...出差
ex: we're going on a weekend trip to France next month


英文裡還有許多有關旅行的片語，比如說要祝福別人旅行一路順利，妳可以說'have a good trip!', 'have a safe journey!' or 'bon voyage!'
學生的校外教學叫作 'school trip'.
