direction noun
⇨ direction (a new direction in party policy) ⇨ government 2 (the direction of a project) ⇨ instructions (give directions) ⇨ way 3 (in the direction of the river) direction direction ♦︎ path ♦︎ course ♦︎ road ♦︎ route These are all words for the general way in which sb/sth develops or sb achieves sth, over a period of time. 这些词均表示趋势、途径。 PATTERNS AND COLLOCATIONS 句型和搭配 ◆ a / the path / road / route to sth ◆ on a / the path / course / road / route◆ the right / wrong direction / path / course / road / route ◆ a new direction / path / course / road / route ◆ a different direction / path / course / road / route ◆ the future direction / path / course (of sth) ◆ a clear direction / path / course / road / route ◆ to take a / the ... direction / path / course / road / route ◆ to follow / pursue a / the ... direction / path / course / route ◆ to go down a / the ... path / road / route ◆ to change (a / the) direction / course NOTE 辨析 follow this path , change course , go down that road and take that route . * path、course、road和route的字面意义都与旅行的路线相关，很多与字面意义搭配的词也可与这里的意思搭配，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 发展趋势；动向 ◆ The exhibition provides evidence of several new directions in her work.这个展览表明她的创作有几个新动向。 ◆ They are debating the future direction of the party.他们在辩论该党未来的发展趋势。 ◆ I am very unhappy with the direction the club is taking.我对该俱乐部的发展趋势很不满意。 ◆ It's only a small improvement but at least it's a step in the right direction .虽然这只是个小小的改进，但至少是朝正确方向迈出的一步。 ◆ It seems that things are at last moving in the right direction .看来事情最终还是朝着正确的方向发展了。 ■ path [countable ] a plan of action or the series of actions sb takes to achieve sth 行动计划；达成目标的途径 ◆ There is no clear career path in this field.这个领域里没有清晰的职业规划。 ◆ The party seemed to be on the path to assured victory.该党似乎走上了必胜的道路。 ◆ Power sharing is a difficult path to tread.实行分权是一条难走的道路。 ◆ Everyone has to find their own path in life.每个人都必须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 方针；行动方向 ◆ Her career followed a similar course to her sister's.她的职业道路跟姐姐的相似。 ◆ This was an event that changed the whole course of his thinking.这个事件改变了他整个的思维取向。 ◆ We'll just have to let things take their natural course.我们只好让事情顺其自然发展。 ◆ They were obliged to steer a course between the interests of the two groups.他们被迫在两个群体的利益之间游走。 NOTE 辨析 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来的发展趋势，一般不用于回顾过去的发展情况 ◆ 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时间内或迄今为止的发展情况，一般不用于展望未来的发展趋势 ◆ 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还可表示“行动方式”或“处理方法”等密切相关的意义。 ■ road [countable ] a series of events or course of action that will lead to a particular result 途径；方法；路子 ◆ The economy is well on the road to recovery.经济正稳步复苏。 ◆ We would prefer not to go down that particular road.我们不想采用那种方法。 ◆ She set out on the road to stardom too early in life.她过早地踏上了星途。 ◆ They seem to be on the road to ruin .他们好像走上了一条毁灭之路。 ■ route [countable ] the way in which sb achieves sth or tries to achieve sth 途径；渠道 ◆ The biography charts her route to fame from humble beginnings.那本传记写到她如何从卑微一路走向成名。 ◆ Education was the traditional route out of poverty.教育是摆脱贫穷的传统途径。 ◆ Some young people see marriage as a kind of escape route (= a way of getting out of a situation they do not like) .有些年轻人把婚姻看成是一种逃避的途径。 NOTE 辨析 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更加个人化，一般说your/his/her career path/path in life（你／他／她的职业／人生道路），但说the road to stardom/ruin（成为明星／走向毁灭之路）。route可用于特定或泛指的人 ◆ her route to fame她的成名之路 ◆ the traditional route out of poverty摆脱贫穷的传统途径 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通常用于对事情的如实而非感性的叙述。说某件事很难做可以用a difficult path to tread或a difficult road to travel（注意：由于path和road的字面意义不同，搭配的动词也不同），但route通常不这样用。
