Differences between travel, trip, journey, voyage

TRAVEL/trvl/
Travel (sustantivo):
Trmino que hace referencia al desplazamiento de un lugar a otro. Lo traducimos al espaol
comoviaje.
Travel/travelling (adjetivo):
Cuando acompaa al sustantivo y lo califica casi siempre lo podemos traducir por de viaje.

Travel expenses: los gastos de viaje

Travel agency:agencia de viajes
Travelling exhibition:exhibicin ambulante
Travelling people:personas que estn de paso en un lugar
To travel (verbo):
Funcionando como verbo es su uso ms frecuenteviajar.
TRIP /trp/
Esta palabra no resulta tan confusa puesto que su uso queda reservado para referirnos a un viaje de
corta duracin e incluso unaexcursinpues eso,un viajecito del que se vuelve pronto:
Como curiosidad os dir que trip tambin significa tropezn,
Otro significado estara relacionado con las drogasun viaje de esos psicodlicos que causan
los.atencioonlos tripis(LSD). Entonces, un mal viaje sera abad trip.
Pero en general, if you go on a tripes que haces una escapada
VOYAGE /vd/
A diferencia del anterior, ste se refiere a un viaje de larga duracin, normalmentepor mar. Lo
podramos traducir por viaje, aunque tambin nos valdra el trmino travesa(yo optara por este y
as evitamos confusiones).
JOURNEY /d3n/
Se refiere a la duracin del viaje, el trayecto, el viaje en s mismo. Aqu no importa si la distancia es
larga o corta. Puede referirse a un viaje cualquiera o al que hacemos a diario de casa al trabajo.
Una cosita antes de irme. En ingls se puede decir to make a journey, to make a trip y to make a
voyage,pero NUNCA to make a travel.

Do y make en ingls
La teora es que to do se traduce al espaol como ejecutar, llevar a cabo (expresa accin),
mientras que to maketendra ms la connotacin de fabricar (suele implicar el uso de materiales)
pero
aqu viene elproblemilla:
En ingls existen una serie de frases corrientes que se construyen siempre con to doy otras que
siempre van con makey, algunas de ellas no se traduciran al espaol como hacer, por ejemploTo
do the dishes sera en espaol: lavar los platos y to make a mistake se traducira como comete run
error.
