Structured Writing on P135英譯中 The English ceremony of afternoon tea dates back to the 1840s. 英式下午茶的儀式可以迫溯到19世紀(jì)40年代。 The tradition evolved out of the rituals and routines that surrounded tea drinking in Britain before that time. 該傳統(tǒng)是由之前英國的茶飲儀式和 習(xí)慣發(fā)展而來的。 Tea was first introduced to England in the late 1650s, but for a long time, it was only consumed by the royal family and the aristocracy due to its high cost. 茶最初在17世紀(jì)50年代晚期被引入英國，但由于價格昂貴，所以很長一段時間里，只有皇家和貴族才能享用。 The habit of having afternoon tea did not become established until almost 200 years later. 直到將近200多年之后，英國人才養(yǎng)成吃下午茶的習(xí)慣。 In those days, the British ate only two daily meals: a large breakfast late in the morning and a late dinner around 8 oclock in the evening. 在當(dāng)時，英國人一日兩餐: 快接近中午時分的豐盛早餐和晚上八點(diǎn)左右的晚餐。英譯中 Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford, can be credited for creating the tradition of afternoon tea to soothe hunger pangs before supper. 據(jù)說第七代貝德福德公爵夫人安娜開創(chuàng)了下午茶的傳統(tǒng)，以此來緩解晚餐前的饑餓感。 She invited friends to join her for an additional afternoon meal at four to five oclock. 她邀請朋友和她一起在下午四五點(diǎn)鐘吃下午茶。 The menu included tea and snacks such as dainty cakes and sandwiches. 下午茶中包括茶和一些點(diǎn)心，比如精致的蛋糕及三明治。 Fine porcelain(瓷器)was used to serve this minor feast. Afternoon tea soon became popular, and is now a symbol of the elegant British way of life. 這些小巧的美食用精美的瓷器盛裝。下午茶很快就流行開來，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)成為優(yōu)雅英國生活方式的一個象征。 As novelist Henry James wrote, There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea. 正如小說家亨利詹姆斯寫道的那樣:“人生鮮有比全心全意享用下午茶這一儀式更愜意的時刻了。” 中國是茶的故鄉(xiāng)，也是茶文化的發(fā)源地。 China is the hometown of tea and the birthplace of tea culture. 自古以來，茶就被譽(yù)為中華民族 的“國飲”。 Since ancient times, tea has been known as the national drink of China. 無論是文人墨客生活中的“琴棋書畫詩酒茶”，還是平民百姓生活中的“柴米油鹽醬醋茶”，茶都是必備品。 In both the Chinese scholars even daily necessities, namely music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea and common peoples seven ones, namely firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Tea is listed as one of the necessities. 同時，中國又是文明古國，禮儀之邦。 Meanwhile, China is a country with ancient civilization and a land of courtesy. 凡是來了客人或朋友，沏茶、敬茶的禮儀必不可少。 The practice of making and serving tea is essential whenever there are guests or friends. 隨著中外文化交流和商業(yè)貿(mào)易的發(fā)展，中國茶及茶文化傳向了全世界。 With the development of cultural exchange, commerce and trade between China and other countries, Chinese tea and teacultural spread to the world. 現(xiàn)在五大洲有不少國家種茶，也有很多國家從中國進(jìn)口茶。 Today, a number of countries across the five continents grow tea plants, and many countries import tea from China. 中國茶和中國的絲綢及瓷器一樣，已經(jīng)成為中國在全世界的代名詞。 Chinese tea like Chinese silk and Chinaware, has become synonymous with China in the world.
