用法筆記

A heading is different from a title: a title names the whole work (book, film, song), while a heading labels a section or chapter within a larger text. In academic and business writing, headings are often numbered (1.1, 1.2, etc.) to show the structure of the document.

用法筆記

Frequently used in navigation, aviation, and sailing contexts. The heading is expressed in degrees (e.g., 090°) or as a compass point (e.g., due north). Do not confuse 'heading' with 'course' — heading is where the vehicle is pointing, while course is the intended path over the ground, which may differ due to wind or current.

常見錯誤

The plane's heading was 500 kilometres per hour.
The plane's heading was 270 degrees west.
'heading' is a direction (measured in degrees or compass points), not a speed.
We took a heading towards the supermarket.
We headed towards the supermarket.
For everyday walking or driving, use the verb 'head' or the noun 'direction', not 'heading'.
