易错句子We took a traveling to Sanya last winter.
正确表达We took a trip to Sanya last winter.
traveling 是形容词(也可作动名词),不能加 a/an 当可数名词来计数。汉语“旅行”既可指活动,也可指一次出行;英语里一次具体的出行要用可数名词 trip,如 a trip to Sanya。只有表示“旅行”这一活动时才用动名词 traveling(Traveling is fun.)。

易错句子She is a well-traveling woman; she has been to over forty countries.
正确表达She is a well-traveled woman; she has been to over forty countries.
表示“去过很多地方、见多识广”要用过去分词 traveled(well-traveled),强调已完成的经历;traveling 表示“经常出行或正在途中”,不表示阅历丰富。汉语“旅行过很多地方”没有主动、被动之分,容易按 -ing 形式类推而误用 traveling。
portable 指物品本身轻便、易随身携带,如 portable charger(便携充电器);traveling 指人或物随旅行一起移动、供旅途使用,如 traveling companion(旅伴)、traveling bag(旅行袋),它不强调重量轻或便携设计。
itinerant 指为工作不断迁徙、居无定所的人或群体,如 itinerant worker(流动工人),带正式色彩;traveling 是中性定语,只表示“随行的、旅行用的”,如 traveling salesman、traveling expenses,并不暗示居无定所。
wandering 强调漫无目的、四处游荡,如 wandering minstrel(游吟诗人);traveling 只客观说明“随行、旅行中”,不含“漂泊不定”的意味。拼写方面,英式多用 travelling,美式用 traveling,两者用法相同。
