direct, conduct, guide, lead, pilot

這些動詞都含“引導”之意。

direct指為某人指方向，但自己不一定親自引路，也可表示指導一群人的事或活動。

conduct正式用詞，指引導某人去某處，強調(diào)親自帶領(lǐng)；也強調(diào)監(jiān)督管理一群有共同目的或目標的人。

guide普通用詞，可與

conduct換用，指引導者與被引導者雙方彼此合作，共同努力的關(guān)系。

lead指走在前面給某人引路或帶路人共同去達到某一目標。用于抽象意義時，指在某項活動或運動中起主導和組織作用。

pilot從原義“為飛機、輪船導航”借喻為指親自帶領(lǐng)某人去某處。
