Many of the collocations used with the literal meanings are shared by the meanings in this group, for example follow this path, change course, go down that road and take that route. * path、course、road和route的字面意義都與旅行的路線相關，很多與字面意義搭配的詞也可與這裏的意思搭配，如follow this path、change course、go down that road和take that route。■ direction [countable, uncountable] the general way in which a person, thing, organization or sb's ideas or actions is/are developing or changing 發展趨勢；動向◆The exhibition provides evidence of several new directions in her work.這個展覽表明她的創作有幾個新動向。◆They are debating the future direction of the party.他們在辯論該黨未來的發展趨勢。◆I am very unhappy with the direction the club is taking.我對該俱樂部的發展趨勢很不滿意。◆It's only a small improvement but at least it's a step in the right direction.雖然這只是個小小的改進，但至少是朝正確方向邁出的一步。◆It seems that things are at last moving in the right direction.看來事情最終還是朝着正確的方向發展了。■ path [countable] a plan of action or the series of actions sb takes to achieve sth 行動計劃；達成目標的途徑◆There is no clear career path in this field.這個領域裏沒有清晰的職業規劃。◆The party seemed to be on the path to assured victory.該黨似乎走上了必勝的道路。◆Power sharing is a difficult path to tread.實行分權是一條難走的道路。◆Everyone has to find their own path in life.每個人都必須找到自己的人生道路。■ course [countable, usually singular] the general direction in which sb's ideas or actions, or a series of events, develop 方針；行動方向◆Her career followed a similar course to her sister's.她的職業道路跟姐姐的相似。◆This was an event that changed the whole course of his thinking.這個事件改變了他整個的思維取向。◆We'll just have to let things take their natural course.我們只好讓事情順其自然發展。◆They were obliged to steer a course between the interests of the two groups.他們被迫在兩個群體的利益之間遊走。NOTE 辨析 Direction or course?The direction of a person or thing is usually the way they are developing now or the way they are likely to develop in the future; direction is not usually used if you are looking back at the way things developed in the past. * direction通常指人或事物目前或未來的發展趨勢，一般不用於回顧過去的發展情況◆Her career followed a similar direction to her sister's. The course of a person or thing is usually the way they developed over a period of time or have been developing until now; course is not usually used if you are looking forward to the way things are likely to develop in the future. * course通常指人或事物在一段時間内或迄今爲止的發展情況，一般不用於展望未來的發展趨勢◆They are debating the future course of the party. Course also has the closely related meaning of 'a way of acting in or dealing with a particular situation'. * course還可表示“行動方式”或“處理方法”等密切相關的意義。 ■ road [countable] a series of events or course of action that will lead to a particular result 途徑；方法；路子◆The economy is well on the road to recovery.經濟正穩步複蘇。◆We would prefer not to go down that particular road.我們不想采用那種方法。◆She set out on the road to stardom too early in life.她過早地踏上了星途。◆They seem to be on the road to ruin.他們好像走上了一條毀滅之路。■ route [countable] the way in which sb achieves sth or tries to achieve sth 途徑；渠道◆The biography charts her route to fame from humble beginnings.那本傳記寫到她如何從卑微一路走向成名。◆Education was the traditional route out of poverty.教育是擺脫貧窮的傳統途徑。◆Some young people see marriage as a kind of escape route (= a way of getting out of a situation they do not like).有些年輕人把婚姻看成是一種逃避的途徑。NOTE 辨析 Path, road or route? Path is often more personal than road. People talk about your/his/her career path/path in life (= the one that sb in particular follows) but the road to stardom/ruin (= the one that everyone follows if they become a star/are ruined). Route may be used to talk about a particular person or people in general. * path常比road更加個人化，一般說your/his/her career path/path in life（你／他／她的職業／人生道路），但說the road to stardom/ruin（成爲明星／走向毀滅之路）。route可用於特定或泛指的人◆her route to fame她的成名之路◆the traditional route out of poverty擺脫貧窮的傳統途徑However, it is usually used when reporting things in a more factual, less emotional way. You can talk about sth being a difficult path to tread or a difficult road to travel (note the different verbs, according to the different literal meanings of path and road) but such terms are not usually used to describe route in this meaning. 但是，route通常用於對事情的如實而非感性的叙述。說某件事很難做可以用a difficult path to tread或a difficult road to travel（注意：由於path和road的字面意義不同，搭配的動詞也不同），但route通常不這樣用。
