亿万富翁的孩子们正用课桌换上甲板。瑞士极其独家的勒罗塞学院（Institut Le Rosey），被称为“国王学校”，已将一艘名为“伊法拉”（Ipharra）的94英尺太阳能电动双体船加入其课外活动项目，用于教授海洋科学。
Kids of billionaires are trading desks for decks. Switzerland’s ultra-exclusive Institut Le Rosey, known as the “School of Kings,” has added a 94-foot solar-electric catamaran dubbed Ipharra to its extracurricular offerings for teaching marine science.
该校前任主管菲利普·古丁（Phillipe Gudin）于上个月在2026年摩纳哥游艇展上以1700万美元购得这艘超级游艇，并坚持认为这艘高端船舶 — — 本月已交付学校 — — 毫不夸张地值回其价。
The school’s former director Phillipe Gudin purchased the superyacht last month at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show for $17 million, and insists the high-end vessel — delivered to the school this month — is worth every penny.
“对我们而言，这艘船是一个真正的平台，能让这些年轻人有机会发现新事物，或许还能找到自己的热情。”古丁在展会后的新闻发布会上说道。
“For us, the boat is a real platform for giving those young people an opportunity to discover something new, and perhaps to find a passion.”Gudin said at a press conference after the show.
这艘定制建造的“伊法拉”拥有六间客舱，可供10名青少年将其称为他们的浮动教室。家长们每年需支付近20万美元的学费，此外还需额外支付2万美元，以参加由五名全职工作人员主持的两周航程。而这，的确是一个非凡的教室。
The custom-built Ipharra has six guest cabins for the 10 teens who get to call it their floating classroom. Parents, who pay nearly $200,000 a year in tuition, have to fork out another $20,000 for the two-week voyage, hosted by a full-time staff of five. And what a classroom it is.
学生们置身于奢华之中 — — 包括柔软的天然亚麻沙发、优雅的橡木地板、一张足以容纳全班同学的橡木餐桌，以及环绕全景玻璃窗的咖啡吧，为自然光提供了绝佳条件。
The students are surrounded by luxury — including plush, natural linen sofas, authentic oak floors, an elegant oak dining table big enough to seat the whole class and a coffee bar wrapped in panoramic glass windows for natural light.
卧室采用定制设计，使用来自西非濒危米勒蒂亚·劳伦蒂树（Millettia laurentii）的异种乌木（Wenge wood） — — 一种致密的硬木。
The bedrooms are custom built with exotic Wenge wood, a dense hardwood from the endangered Millettia laurentii tree in West Africa.
甚至还有一块可收纳的、最先进的电影屏幕，能够将游艇的豪华沙龙转变为浮动教室，屏幕足够大，夜晚可用于放映电影。
There’s even a retractable, state-of-the-art movie screen that transforms the yacht’s swanky salon into a floating classroom with a screen big enough for movies at night.
课后，学生们可前往游艇宽敞的海洋休息区（Ocean Lounge），那里的可折叠阳台打造出一片广阔的滨海沙滩俱乐部，让学生轻松进行潜水、游泳、晒太阳和社交。
After class, students can head to the yacht’s sprawling Ocean Lounge, where fold-down balconies create an expansive waterside beach club, making it effortless for students to dive, swim, sunbathe and socialize.
此外，还有丰富的水上玩具宝库，如水上滑雪板、浮潜套装、潜水装备和深海钓鱼设备。
There’s also a treasure trove of water toys like water skis, snorkeling kits, scuba diving gear and deep-sea fishing equipment.
因为我们在教学中使用这艘船，我们也希望拥有一个靠近海边的大型户外区域，便于进行潜水和帆船小艇活动，”古丁说。
“Because we use the boat with students, we also wanted a large outdoor area close to the sea that would be easy to use for diving and for the sailing dinghies,” said Gudin.
为期两周的航行是玫瑰山学校面向13至16岁青少年的卓越营项目的一部分，未来的亿万富翁们在此学习海洋保护、海洋生物学、可再生能源和负责任的资源管理，同时在地中海和加勒比海水域航行。
The two-week voyage, part of Le Rosey’s Excellence Camp for teens 13 to 16, has the pint-size billionaires-to-be studying ocean conservation, marine biology, renewable energy and responsible resource management as they cruise Mediterranean and Caribbean waters.
这艘游艇覆盖着太阳能皮肤——即薄而柔韧的面板，铺设在玻璃上，能够将阳光转化为电能。Ipharra号实现零排放，由电动机驱动，航行时几乎无声且无振动。
The yacht is covered in solar skin — thin, flexible panels layered over glass that convert sunlight into electricity. Ipharra is emissions-free, powered by electric motors that make for whisper-quiet, vibration-free cruising.
学校在日内瓦湖上设有私人航海中心，用于停放小型船只，如摩托艇和冲浪板，但Ipharra号始终停泊在其活跃航行区域内的沿海游艇码头。
The school maintains a private Nautical Centre on Lake Geneva for smaller boats like motorboats, and paddleboards, but the Ipharra remains stationed at sea in coastal marinas within its active cruising grounds.
奢华对玫瑰山学校的特权学生来说并非新鲜事。最新的Ipharra号是对原型号的升级，而学校自2010年起一直在使用该型号。
Extravagance is nothing new to Le Rosey’s privileged pupils. The latest Ipharra is an upgrade for the original model, which the school had been using since 2010.
这所享有盛誉的瑞士贵族学校——成立于1880年——历经数代，培育了王室成员、名人以及极其富裕之人的子女。
The famously posh Swiss institution — founded in 1880 — has spent generations educating royalty, celebrities and the children of the fabulously wealthy.
学校约有400名学生，年龄在8至18岁之间，来自超过60个国家，且单一国家的学生比例不超过10%。
Its roughly 400 students, ages 8 to 18, hail from more than 60 countries with no more than 10% coming from a single nation.
尽管学校出于安全原因对当前学生名单严格保密，但杰出校友包括摩纳哥亲王雷尼埃、埃及国王法鲁克、西班牙国王胡安·卡洛斯一世以及伊丽莎白·泰勒的子女。肯特公爵爱德华王子曾在1950年代就读于此。
Although the school keeps its current list of students under close wraps for security purposes, distinguished alumni include Prince Rainier of Monaco, King Farouk of Egypt, King Juan Carlos I of Spain and Elizabeth Taylor’s children. Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, attended in the 1950s.
学生在秋季和春季在罗勒的主校区学习，该校区俯瞰日内瓦湖。但冬季到来时，全校师生会搬迁到位于华丽阿尔卑斯度假胜地格施塔德的第二校区，以便学生享受世界级滑雪。
Students spend the fall and spring at main campus in Rolle, overlooking Lake Geneva. But when winter rolls around, the entire school packs up and relocates to a second campus in the glamorous Alpine resort of Gstaad so students can enjoy world-class skiing.
