用法筆記
Usually appears in the singular and often with a possessive (my true destination). This sense is less common than the travel meaning and is found more in literary or formal contexts. Distinguish from sense 1 (PLACE OF TRAVEL): if the sentence is about arriving somewhere physical, it is sense 1; if about a life purpose or calling, it is this sense.
