18 of travel 論游歷
travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience. he that travelleth into a country, before he hath some entrance into the language, goeth to school, and not to travel. that young men travel under some tutor, or grave servant, i allow well; so that he be such a one, that hath the language, and hath been in the country before; whereby he may be able to tell them, what things are worthy to be seen in the country where they go; what acquaintances they are to seek; what exercises or discipline the place yieldeth.
游歷在年輕人是教育底一部分；在年長的人是經(jīng)驗(yàn)底一部分。還未學(xué)會一點(diǎn)某國底語言而即往某國游歷者可說是去上學(xué)，而不是去游歷。少年人應(yīng)當(dāng)隨著導(dǎo)師或帶著可靠的從者去游歷，愚亦贊成；只要那導(dǎo)師或從者是一個(gè)懂得所去的國中底語言，并且曾經(jīng)到過那里的就是了；因?yàn)槿绱怂涂梢愿嬖V那同去的少年在所去的那個(gè)國家里何者當(dāng)看，何人當(dāng)識，并有何種的閱歷訓(xùn)練可得也。
