To travel all the way around something and come back to where you started — , to sail around the Earth. Magellan’s crew is the story people reach for. You can also circumnavigate an island, a lake, or a continent, by ship or, later, by plane. The core picture is a full loop, not a shortcut across. People do stretch it: “circumnavigate the city” for driving the ring road, or even “circumnavigate a problem” for finding a way around it without facing it. That last stretch is real in journalism and talk, but it is looser than the travel sense, and in a careful classroom the word still wants a place you can go around. You circumnavigate a thing; you do not just wander near it.
環航、環繞航行（繞地球一圈常說環球航行）
