In late-16th-century Britain, for example, the sons of the nobility would, when they'd reached a given point in their studies, cross the English Channel with a tutor and a servant to visit Paris, Rome, Venice, and other major European cities, soaking up the cultures of the European mainland and broadening their worldview.
例如 16 世紀末的英國貴族子弟，在學業告一段落時，通常會在家庭教師和貼身男僕的陪伴下，一起渡過英吉利海峽到巴黎、羅馬、威尼斯等城市旅行，接受歐陸文化的啟蒙和洗禮，同時增廣見聞，其後才有「資格」返回英國繼承家業。
