盘点与“茶”有关的地道英语 a tea hound
在茶话会、舞会或各种社交场合，总有些喜欢追逐漂亮女子并对她们大献殷勤的家伙。这类花花公子就被称为tea hounds 爱交际的男子。
例句：John is much mature now, I think he's no longer a tea hound. 约翰现在成熟多了，我想他不再是爱交际的花花公子了。
somebody's cup of tea
英国人对茶情有独钟，无论什么饮品都代替不了茶在他们心中的位置。因此
somebody's cup of tea指的就是to be something that one prefers or desires 对某人胃口的东西，使某人感兴趣的东西。
例句：Football/Opera/Chemistry is not his cup of tea. 足球/歌剧/化学可不是他的爱好。
This spy novel is just my cup of tea. 这本侦探小说正对我的胃口。
a storm in a tea cup
这是18世纪法国哲学家孟德斯鸠的一句名言。有一次他听说圣马力诺发生了一场骚乱，就用了a storm in a tea cup这个比喻来形容整个事件。圣马力诺是欧洲最小的共和国，人口稀少，因此孟德斯鸠认为那里的骚乱对整个欧洲局势无关紧要。If someone
exaggerates a problem or makes a small problem seem far greater than it really
is, then they are making a storm in a tea cup. 顾名思义，“茶杯里的风暴”自然算不得什么大事，所以就被用来表示“小题大做，大惊小怪”的意思。
例句：That couple often quarrel, but it is a storm in a tea cup. 那对夫妻经常吵架，没什么大惊小怪的。
Storm in a teacup是大惊小怪的英式英语表达，美式英语的说法是 tempest in a teapot 。此外，大惊小怪相似的说法还有：a storm in a cream-bowl，a tempest in a glass of water，a storm in a hand-wash basin。
tea break
饮茶一直被英国人看作是一种悠闲和舒适的享受。英国人喝茶的时间比较固定，不像我们那样随时随地都可以喝茶。他们习惯于三餐两茶，每天工作、学习一段时间后，喜欢停下来休息一刻钟左右，喝杯茶，吃些点心，补充体力。这段时间叫做tea break(茶休) ：an intermission from work, usually in the middle of the morning or afternoon, for a cup of tea, a snack, etc. 茶休有morning tea(上午茶) 和afternoon tea(下午茶) 之分：上午茶一般在十点半左右；下午茶一般在下午四五点钟。
茶休的习惯源于英国18世纪的一位贝德芙公爵夫人安娜。她每天在午餐和晚餐之间总会感到有点饥饿，于是就在每天下午四点到五点之间邀请三五位知心好友，来喝点茶吃点点心。再后来就演变为“上下午工间或课间吃茶点的休息时间”。这种茶休在英国可是雷打不动的小憩时间。
例句：Our bloody-minded foreman wouldn't give us a tea break. 我们残忍的工头不给我们工间茶休的时间。

下面哪种指的不是茶叶？
a. oolong tea
b. black tea
c. ice tea
d. green tea
答案：c. 它的意思是“冰茶”，是一种饮料。其他三种均为茶叶。
喝出健康来
你最喜欢的饮品是什么？(What’s your favorite drink?)碳酸饮料、酒、果汁……现代人的选择真是太丰富了。今天大妮子要给大家推荐一种廉价又有益健康的饮品，它产自中国，风靡全球，对了，就是茶。
Tea has a history that goes back to 2737B.C. A story says that the Chinese emperor （皇帝） Shen-Nung （神农） discovered tea when leaves（树叶） from a tea bush（灌木丛） fell into some water he was boiling（煮）.
茶的历史可以追溯到公元前2737年。传说神农帝在茶树边煮水时，茶叶刚好落进去，就这样茶被发现了。
One of the reasons tea is so healthy is that it has antioxidants（抗氧化剂）, which work against illnesses caused by aging such as cancer（癌症）, heart disease, and diabetes （糖尿病）. Scientific studies show（指出） that tea not only lowers（降低） the risk（风险） of getting cancer, but it also decreases（减少） the risk（危险） of dying from heart disease in people who drink four or more cups a day.
茶非常有益健康的一个原因是它含有抗氧化剂成份。这种抗氧化剂成份可以抵抗因衰老而引发的疾病，如癌症、心脏病和糖尿病。科学研究显示，那些每天喝四杯以上茶的人，不仅可以降低患癌症的几率，而且还可以减少因心脏病死亡的危险。

经过加工的茶叶有三种，红茶(black tea)是熟茶，绿茶(green tea)是生的，乌龙茶(oolong tea) 是半生不熟的，这种茶味道最好也最难炒制，因此价钱也最高。
茶被发现后，首先传入了日本。随后，欧洲的海员们在15世纪把茶带回了家乡，17世纪，茶已经成为了英国的“国饮”。
虽然茶叶的老家是中国，可许多西方国家都有长久的饮茶历史，因为它们的饮食主要以肉食为主，喝茶可以帮助消化，因此大受欢迎。在俄罗斯和埃及，每人每天平均要喝掉12杯茶。现今世界上产茶与饮茶最多的国家是印度。

A man performs a tea ceremony.Tea culture is defined by the way tea is made and
consumed, by the way the people interact with tea, and by the aesthetics surrounding tea drinking.
Tea is commonly drunk at social events, and many cultures have created intricate formal ceremonies for these events. Western examples of these are afternoon tea and the tea party. In the east, tea ceremonies differ among countries, Japan's complex, formal and serene one being the most known. Other examples are the Korean tea ceremony or some traditional ways of brewing tea in Chinese tea culture. Unique customs also exist in Tibet, where tea is commonly brewed with salt and butter, or in the Middle East and Africa where tea plays an important role in many countries.

Turning the cups in a Chinese tea ceremonyDue to the importance of tea in Chinese society and culture, tea houses can be found in most Chinese neighbourhoods and
business districts. Chinese-style tea houses offer dozens of varieties of hot and cold tea concoctions. They also serve a variety of tea-friendly and/or tea-related snacks. Beginning in the late afternoon, the typical Chinese tea house quickly becomes packed with students and business people, and later at night plays host to insomniacs and night owls simply looking for a place to relax. Formal tea houses also exist. They provide a range of Chinese and Japanese tea leaves, as well as tea making accoutrements and a better class of snack food. Finally there are the tea vendors, who specialise in the sale of tea leaves, pots, and other related paraphernalia.
[edit] Two periods
See also: History of tea in China
In China, at least as early as the Tang Dynasty, tea was an object of connoisseurship; in the Song Dynasty formal tea-tasting parties were held, comparable to modern wine
tastings. As much as in modern wine tastings, the proper vessel was important and much attention was paid to matching the tea to an aesthetically appealing serving vessel.
Historically there were two phases of tea drinking in China based on the form of tea that was produced and consumed, namely: tea bricks versus loose leaf tea.
[edit] Tea brick phase
A tea brick made for the Russian Imperial Army of Czar Nicholas IITea served prior to the Ming Dynasty was typically made from tea bricks. Upon harvesting, the tea leaves were either partially dried or were thoroughly dried and ground before being pressed into bricks. The pressing of Pu-erh is likely a vestige of this process. Tea bricks were also sometimes used as currency. To improve its resiliency as currency, some tea bricks were mixed with binding agents such as blood.[citation needed] Serving the tea from tea bricks required multiple steps:
Toasting: Tea bricks are usually first toasted over a fire to destroy any mould or insects that may have burrowed into the tea bricks. Such infestation sometimes occurred since the bricks were stored openly in warehouses and storerooms. Toasting also likely imparted a pleasant flavour to the resulting tea.
Grinding: The tea brick was broken up and ground to a fine powder. This practice survives in Japanese powdered tea (Matcha).
Whisking: The powdered tea was mixed into hot water and frothed with a whisk before serving. The colour and patterns formed by the powdered tea were enjoyed while the mixture was imbibed.
The ground and whisked teas used at that time called for dark and patterned bowls in
which the texture of the tea powder suspension could be enjoyed. The best of these bowls, glazed in patterns with names like oil spot, partridge-feather, hare's fur, and tortoise shell, are highly valued today. The patterned holding bowl and tea mixture were often lauded in the period's poetry with phrases such as "partridge in swirling clouds" or "snow on hare's fur". Tea in this period was enjoyed more for its patterns and less for its flavour. The
practice of using powdered tea can still be seen in the Japanese Tea ceremony or Chado.
[edit] Loose-leaf tea phase
After 1391, Emperor Hung-wu, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, decreed that
tributes of tea to the court were to be changed from brick to loose-leaf form. The imperial decree quickly transformed the tea drinking habits of the people, changing from whisked teas to steeped teas. The arrival of the new method for preparing tea also required the creation or use of new vessels.
Five Yixing Clay Teapots - showing a variety of styles from formal to whimsical.The tea pot was needed such that the tea leaves can be steeped separately from the drinking vessel for an infusion of proper concentration. The tea also needs to be kept warm and the tea leaves must be separated from the resulting infusion when required.
Tea caddies and containers also became necessary in order to keep the tea and conserve its flavour. This was due to the fact that tea leaves do not preserve as well as tea bricks. Furthermore, the natural aroma of tea became the focus of the tea drinking due to the new preparation method.
A change in Chinese tea drinking vessels was also evident at this point. Smaller bowls with plain or simple designs on the interior surfaces were favoured over the larger
patterned bowls used for enjoying the patterns created by powdered teas. Tea drinking in small bowls and cups was likely adopted since it gathers and directs the fragrant steam from the tea to the nose and allows for better appreciation of the tea's flavour.
Teawares made with a special kind of purple clay (Zisha) from Yixing went on to develop during this period (Ming Dynasty). The structure of purple clay made it advantageous material with tiny and high density, preferred for heat preservation and perviousness. Simplicity and rusticity dominated the idea of purple clay teaware decoration art. It
became soon the most popular method of performing Chinese tea ceremony , which often combines literature, calligraphy, painting and seal cutting in Chinese culture.

The best of these bowls, glazed in patterns with names like oil spot, partridge-feather, hare's fur, and tortoise shell, are highly valued today. The patterned holding bowl and tea mixture were often lauded in the period's poetry with phrases such as "partridge in swirling clouds" or "snow on hare's fur". Tea in this period was enjoyed more for its patterns and less for its flavour. The
practice of using powdered tea can still be seen in the Japanese Tea ceremony or Chado.
[edit] Loose-leaf tea phase
After 1391, Emperor Hung-wu, the first Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, decreed that
tributes of tea to the court were to be changed from brick to loose-leaf form. The imperial decree quickly transformed the tea drinking habits of the people, changing from whisked teas to steeped teas. The arrival of the new method for preparing tea also required the creation or use of new vessels.
Five Yixing Clay Teapots - showing a variety of styles from formal to whimsical.The tea pot was needed such that the tea leaves can be steeped separately from the drinking vessel for an infusion of proper concentration. The tea also needs to be kept warm and the tea leaves must be separated from the resulting infusion when required.
Tea caddies and containers also became necessary in order to keep the tea and conserve its flavour. This was due to the fact that tea leaves do not preserve as well as tea bricks. Furthermore, the natural aroma of tea became the focus of the tea drinking due to the new preparation method.
A change in Chinese tea drinking vessels was also evident at this point. Smaller bowls with plain or simple designs on the interior surfaces were favoured over the larger
patterned bowls used for enjoying the patterns created by powdered teas. Tea drinking in small bowls and cups was likely adopted since it gathers and directs the fragrant steam from the tea to the nose and allows for better appreciation of the tea's flavour.
Teawares made with a special kind of purple clay (Zisha) from Yixing went on to develop during this period (Ming Dynasty). The structure of purple clay made it advantageous material with tiny and high density, preferred for heat preservation and perviousness. Simplicity and rusticity dominated the idea of purple clay teaware decoration art. It
became soon the most popular method of performing Chinese tea ceremony , which often combines literature, calligraphy, painting and seal cutting in Chinese culture.

ceremonies for these events. Western examples of these are afternoon tea and the tea party. In the east, tea ceremonies differ among countries, Japan's complex, formal and serene one being the most known. Other examples are the Korean tea ceremony or some traditional ways of brewing tea in Chinese tea culture. Unique customs also exist in Tibet, where tea is commonly brewed with salt and butter, or in the Middle East and Africa where tea plays an important role in many countries.
The British empire spread its own interpretation of tea to its colonies, including places like Hong Kong, or Pakistan which had existing tea customs.
