過ちから学びましょう - Trip vs. Travel

2007-12-19 18:03:20 | 過ちから学びましょう
A lot of people make mistakes with the words “trip” and “travel”. Do you know the difference (違い)? It’s very easy.
1. Trip is always a noun (名詞).
例:"Have a nice trip.” (xHave a nice travel.)
2. You can say “take a trip” for 旅する。
例:"I want to take a trip to Canada.” (xI want to trip to Canada.)
3. Travel can be a noun (名詞) or a verb (動詞).
例:"He traveled to Hawaii.” (x He tripped to Hawaii.)
例:"Travel is expensive at New Year’s. (xTrip is expensive at New Year's)
4. “Travel” has a wider meaning (意味) than “trip”when it is a noun. “Trip” sounds like you are going somewhere one time. Travel is the action of going to another place or the name of a hobby. 
例:"I really love travel." (x I really love trip.)

Here is a quick quiz:

1. I took a _______ to Spain.
2. How often do you ________ abroad?
3. I went to a _______ agent to book my flight (飛行機を予約する).
4. How was your _________?
5. He took a long ________ to Europe last year.
6. Where are you going to _________ to next?
7. My ________ was really exciting.
8. My hobby is foreign (海外) __________.

The answers (答え)are in the comments.
