Our journey/travel from London to Istanbul by train was very tiring.

题目

Our journey/travel from London to Istanbul by train was very tiring.
请问为什么只能用journey而能用travel呢?
这题是涉及单复数的问题哦

答案

journey是单数,所以后面用was哦；
travel是复数名词,travels是指“旅行笔记”,所以只能用journey哦.
感觉一下,是不是听a journey 或者a trip舒服,而很少听到有人说a travel,a travel就成了一次游记,而不是一次旅行了.
如果一定要用travel,原句就变成了：Our travel from London to Istanbul by train were very tiring.原句的was就变成了were了.
journey通常指短途的一次旅行,而travel是指长途的断续的要换车或者露宿有停顿有间歇的旅行,所以是复数.
再给你举个例子：way 和means 都是方式的意思.The way to do this is simple,
The means of doing this are simple.
