What is the difference between 散步 and 走路?
To say, "I often take a walk after work," which is correct?
1. 下班以后,我经常散步。
2. 下班以后,我经常走路。
Thank you!
散步: Take a walk, a way to rest
走路:Walking, a way to travel
散步是心境,走路是方式。
when you walk for pleasure or exercise, use 散步;
when you walk in order to go somewhere, use 走路。
I agree with 下班后 我经常散步 is correct one. but if you mean walking to your home. I would say 下班后, 我走路回家。because 散步 and 走路 are different. Taking a stroll is you are ambling along with street or around lake relaxedly. we usually describe as 在河边/公园散步。but 走路 is a way of walking to home. if you mean going for a walk or I often take a walk after work. I would say "散步". It is different with walking your home.
Walk can mean 散步 走路 at the same time.
hope this makes sense.
