It’s a cup of tea, Neil. Would you like some?
是一杯茶。你要来一杯吗？
Oh, I can’t drink that! You didn’t let the tea brew for long enough. And you forgot to add sugar.
不了，我不喝茶！你泡茶的时间还不够长！而且你忘了加糖!
Well, make it yourself next time! And when you brew a cup of tea, by the way, you add boiling water to tea leaves or a teabag and allow the flavour to develop.
好吧，下次你自己沏吧。顺便说一下，如果你想泡杯茶，要用沸水冲泡茶叶或茶包，让茶的香味充分散发。
I’m sorry, Alice. I didn’t mean to be rude about your tea. But I do like it very strong and sweet.
不好意思，爱丽丝。我无意冒犯你，评判你泡的茶。但我喜欢很浓很甜的茶。
Tea is the subject of today’s show. And Neil, I think you’d like the way they serve tea in India. They drink chai – a strong black tea served with lots of milk, sugar and spices.
茶就是今天节目的主题。尼尔，我想你会喜欢印度沏茶的方式。他们喝的印度奶茶是一种浓郁的黑茶，里面加了大量奶、糖和香料。
Mmm… that does sound good. I quite fancy a cup of chai now.
恩，这听上去不错。我现在很想喝一杯印度奶茶。
Did you know that it was the British who introduced tea to India?
你知道是英国把茶叶引入印度的吗？
No, I didn’t, Alice. This is very interesting… I’m proud of our habit of having tea all the time and teabags are great!A marvellous little invention!
这我不知道。这挺有意思的。我一直为我们饮茶的习惯而感到骄傲，茶包好棒！这个小发明太棒了！
Yes, I agree. Well, that’s my question for you today.Where was the teabag invented? Was it in …a) Chinab) the USOr c) Britain
我也这么认为。这也是今天我要问你的问题。茶包是哪个国家发明的？a) 中国b) 美国还是 c)英国？
Hmm. I buy a lot of teabags but I don’t know their history. So I’m going to guess c) Britain.
我买了很多茶包，但是关于它的历史我并不了解。我猜是c)英国。
Well, we’ll find out if you chose the right answer later on.Let’s listen now to Professor Markman Ellis talking about the Chinese tea plant.He’s a historian at Queen Mary, University of London.
之后我们再看你选的是否正确。现在我们来听听Markman Ellis教授讲述中国的茶树。他是伦敦大学玛丽皇后学院的历史学家。
Tea is a shrub that grows naturally in the mountainous areas of China and several thousand years ago,no one knows how exactly, there… I mean… there are stories…it became clear that if you consumed the leaves of this plant especially the younger leaves, then it had an interesting effect on you.And that effect could be thought of as medicinal or it could be thought of as just kind of sanative – making you feel a bit better than you used to feel.
茶属于灌木，生长于中国的山区，几千年前没有人确切知道茶叶的故事，之后人们越来越清楚如果饮用这种植物的叶子，尤其是嫩叶，会对身体有益。这也可以称为一种药效，简单说就是有益健康，使你比之前感觉更好。
Professor Markman Ellis tells us that people in Ancient China consumed – or ate – leaves from the tea plant and it had an interesting effect on them.
Markman Ellis教授告诉我们中国古代的人们就已经饮用茶树的茶叶，这还对他们的身体有益。
Professor Ellis says tea has a sanative effect – making you feel better – so I might try munching a few leaves later on.
Markman Ellis教授说茶叶有益健康，让你感觉更好，一会我要嚼几片茶叶试试。
