- 1有教養的、有文化修養的（指人的談吐與品味；不是實驗室裡「培養」的意思）。
A cultured person is polite, well read, and interested in art, literature, music, and similar things. The word can sound like praise, but it can also sound a little snobbish, as if some people have “culture” and others do not. Older speakers and formal writing use it more than young people in casual talk; a student might just say someone is into art or well educated. This sense grew by metaphor from farming: you cultivate land, and you can also cultivate the mind. Though actually, cultured has other lives that will meet: cultured pearls are pearls grown with human help, and a cultured sample in a lab is bacteria grown on purpose. Those are different senses. This entry is the people sense.
From the word’s history
culture + -ed; culture is from Middle French culture, from Latin cultūra 'cultivation'.
culture 加 -ed；culture 源自拉丁文 cultūra「耕作」。
組成The adjective from culture: someone whose mind has been “cultivated.” Culture in this path comes from Latin cultura, from colere, to till or look after.
