Journal和Diary

从小到大，日记的翻译只知道：diary。最近才知道了journal也可以翻译成日记。两者什么区别呢？稍许参考了下百度知道得出以下区别：

journal更随意一些，更像是日志，流水帐。重点体现某些经历。除了指日记，journal还可以指期刊和报纸。
diary特指日记，可以写经历，可以写感受。另外，diary还可以翻译为日记本。

也就是说，diary强调内心体验，而journal强调经历，发生了什么。

BUT，用journal diary difference作为关键词google了一下，发现了有趣的事：
版本1：
A diary is a report of what happened during the day—where you ate, who you met, the details leading up to the kerfluffle in the office, and who took whose side. It’s a bit like a newspaper about you.

A journal is completely different. A journal is about examining your life. It’s a GPS system for your spirit. “I’ve made this mistake before. . . and I always make it when I rushed for time and feel panicky. But I feel panicky because I know I’m headed for the same mistake.” Journals lead to insight, growth, and sometimes, achieving a goal.

版本2：
Diary- telling your inter most personal thoughts and feelings about someone

Journal- what you've done, what the progress is, plans, and info about other things on a daily basis, research, science projetcs ect

------------很囧--------------

完全不同的两种版本。该信谁呢？也就是说，老外们自己都没明白这两个词的区别到底是什么--我们中国人自然没必要劳这份神了。journal也好，diary也好，不关我事喽~~我写我的blog:D
