•铁观音:Tieh-Kuan-Yin ;TieGuanYin Tea•云雾茶:Cloud mistblack tea是红茶。

在英文里,“茶”就是Tea。

那么“红茶”理所当然的应该是“Red Tea”。

有趣的是,在英语里,我们所说的红茶实际上是“Black Tea”,英文的直译就是“黑茶”。

一种说法是因为在红茶加工过程中,茶叶的颜色越来越深,逐渐变成黑色,因此得名Black(黑)茶。

另一种说法,则是因为在17世纪英国从福建进口茶叶时,在厦门收购的武夷红茶茶色浓深,故被称为Black(黑)茶。

还有一种说法是因为西方人相对注重茶叶的颜色,因此称之为“Black(黑)”,而中国人相对注重茶汤的颜色,因此称之为“红”。

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teahounds 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 besomething that one prefers ordesires 对某人胃口的东西,使某人感兴趣的东西。

例句:Football/Opera/Chemistryis 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。

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。
