Compared meaning: a way for vehicles to travel (noun).

比较义项:供车辆通行的道路或路线(名词)。

  • road

    "Road" names the physical paved or hard surface built for vehicles; it refers to the structure itself, not the path someone chooses to follow.

    “road”(道路)指为车辆行驶而修建的实体路面,强调这条路本身的物理结构,而不是某人选择走的路径。

    Heavy rain turned the dirt road into deep mud.

    大雨把这条土路变成了一片泥泞。

  • route 本词

    "Route" names the path or course taken between two places, which may combine several roads or other ways; it describes the journey, not a physical surface.

    “route”(路线)指从一地到另一地所走的路径,可能由几条道路或其他路段组成,强调的是行程本身,而不是实体路面。

    GPS suggested a faster route through the back streets.

    GPS建议了一条穿过后街小巷的更快路线。

Both words can mean a path for travel. Road names the physical paved surface built for vehicles; it refers to the structure itself. Route names the path or course taken between two places, which may combine several roads; it describes the journey, not a surface.

这两个词都可译成中文的“路”,容易混淆:road 指实际修建、供车辆行驶的路面本身;route 指从一地到另一地所选择或规划的路径,可能由若干条道路或其他路段组成,强调的是行程路线而非路面结构。
