raid

Compared meaning: a sudden attack on a place (noun).

比较义项：突袭，突然袭击（名词）。

• raid 本词

  Raid refers to an organized, sudden attack by police, soldiers, or armed groups meant to capture, damage, or seize something, and is typically followed by 'on' plus the target place.

  raid指警察、军队或武装人员对某地发动的有组织的突然袭击，目的是抓捕、破坏或夺取某物，常搭配「on」加目标地点。

  Police carried out a raid on the illegal warehouse last night.

  警方昨晚突袭了那家非法仓库。

• foray

  Foray describes a brief, often exploratory incursion into enemy or unfamiliar territory, usually smaller in scale than a raid and typically followed by 'into' rather than 'on'.

  foray指对敌方或陌生地域进行的短暂、带有试探性质的突入，规模通常比raid小，且常搭配「into」而非「on」。

  Scouts made a quick foray into enemy territory before the main assault began.

  在主攻开始之前，侦察兵对敌方领土进行了一次快速突袭。

Both mean a sudden attack. Raid is an organized attack by police or soldiers to capture or seize something, often used with 'on.' Foray is a smaller, exploratory attack into enemy or unfamiliar territory, often used with 'into.' Not compared: foray as a first attempt.

这两个词都表示对某地发起的突然袭击，语气相近，容易混淆；不过foray通常指规模较小、带有试探性质的突入敌方或陌生领域，且更常用于比喻义，这里不比较foray表示「初次尝试某项活动」的引申义。
