You can walk along a trail, and you can also follow a trail: “My little brother left a trail of cracker crumbs behind him, so I found him right away.” When you trail, you move slowly behind something or someone, or you drag something on the ground: “She sadly trails her deflated balloon behind her.” You also might trail someone you’re chasing: “My dog likes to trail squirrels around the yard.”
小径是一条未铺砌的小路，就像您徒步旅行时穿过树林的狭窄小路一样。踪迹也可以是留下的一系列线索，也形成一种路径。

词源：
trail (v.)c. 1300, trailen, “to hang down loosely and flow behind” (of a gown, sleeve, etc.), from Old French trailler, traillier “to tow; pick up the scent of a quarry.” This, along with similar verbs in Dutch and Low German, is “generally supposed” (OED 1989) to be ultimately from Vulgar Latin *tragulare “to drag,” from Latin tragula “dragnet, javelin thrown by a strap,” which is probably related to trahere “to pull” (see tract (n.1)).
The meaning “hunt or follow the track or scent of” (an animal, etc.) is attested by late 14c., probably from or suggested by the noun. The transitive sense of “draw along behind, tow or pull along the ground” is from c. 1400; also in reference to vines, plants, etc. The meaning “lag behind, follow” (someone, in a sports contest, etc.) is by 1957. To trail off, of the voice, etc., “die away in a casual or desultory way,” by 1845. Related: Trailed; trailing.Related entries & more

小径（v.）c。 1300, Trailen，“松散地垂下并在后面流动”（长袍、袖子等），源自古法语 Trailler, Traillier “拖曳；拾取采石场的气味。”这个词，以及荷兰语和低地德语中的类似动词，“通常被认为”（OED 1989）最终来自通俗拉丁语 *tragulare“拖”，来自拉丁语 tragula“拖网，用带子投掷的标枪”，这可能是与 trahere“拉”相关（参见道（n.1））。 “狩猎或追踪”（动物等）的踪迹或气味的含义在 14 世纪末得到证实，可能来自名词或由名词暗示。 “在后面拉、拖曳或沿地面拉动”的及物意义来自c。 1400；也指藤蔓、植物等。意思是“落后，跟随”（某人，在体育比赛中等），是在 1957 年。或杂乱的方式”，1845 年。尾随。相关条目及更多
