Economic Downturn Took a Detour at Capitol Hill

By ERIC LICHTBLAU

Rarely has the financial divide appeared so wide, or the public contrast so stark, between lawmakers and those they represent.

Deviationism, an expressed belief which is not in accordance with official party doctrine.

What would traveling to new destinations be without the guided tour? Born two hundred years ago today, Thomas Cook came up with the idea for group excursions in 1841, leading several hundred campaigners from Leicester to Loughborough and charging them a flat rate for their train tickets and lunch. He established his own tourist agency and began leading groups around Europe and, later, to the United States.



"We have a great blueprint from years past, and we will follow that," the mayor said. "But we will start to make exceptions and deviations because, by everyone's estimation, we will have crowds that will be two, three, maybe even four times as large as the largest inaugural. . . . One of the biggest exceptions would be to open up the Mall."

The Rolling Stones have been on tour for two months now. You can use it as verb: They are touring Europe.

Ex：
j a guided tour（有導遊嚮導的旅行）

l I called the travel agency to cancel my tour to Australia.

（我打電話請旅行社取消我到澳洲的行程）

trip, journey, travel, tour, flight, voyage

 Trip and journey are practically synonymous. Trip is more colloquial and used to be 

a slang word 150 years ago. Examples:

He made a trip to China. 
He made a journey to China. 
He has made several trips to Africa. 
He has made several journeys to Africa.

1.「trip」指短途旅行，或在另一地僅度過一小段時間後即返回的旅行。

Ex：
j go on a sightseeing trip to ~ （到～去觀光旅行）

k make a business trip to ~ （到～出差）

l We have been planning on a trip to Europe.（我們正計畫到歐洲旅行）

2.「journey」指較遠的旅程，當考慮到旅行的時間和距離時，則用此字。

Ex：
j It’s a three months’ journey.

= It’s a journey of three months.（這是為期三個月的旅行）

k I don’t want to make/take a long journey to Africa.（我不想到非洲長期旅行）

 Travel is more often a verb than a noun: He traveled/travelled around the world.
As a noun it is usually in the plural: His travels took him to distant corners of the world. 

John Steinbect wrote a book called Travels With Charley. 

However, you can say a travel agency.

3.「travel」是旅行之意義中含意最廣的字，特別用於到遠方或長時間的旅行，多用動詞表示。用於名詞則是make a sea/an air travel 或go on a sea/an air travel。

Ex：

6.「voyage」多指船上之旅。

Ex：
j take/make/go on a voyage.（出去航海、出國旅行）

k The voyage from America to France used to take two months.
