论文部分内容阅读
Tea, coffee and chocolate (cocoa) are probably the most popular beverages in the world. But when it comes to vintage, tea leaps ahead by millenniumsmillenniums:一千年、千禧年。. Which other beverage actually has a god devoted to its cultivation and culture and an almost evangelistic spread throughout the world?
(这段生词不少,我们通读后先留个印象,知道段落提及了茶、咖啡和可可,还简要的对他们加以区别。)
Wars have been fought over tea. Empires lost. Kings and empresses toppled. Tea is as much linked to history as it is to its own definitive culture.
(这段提及茶和历史有关系)
China is the home of tea. As long as 6,000 years ago, tea was brewed and drunk in China, and the cultivation of tea on a large scale as a trade commodity began 2,000 years ago.
Tea stimulated trade with the West, and in Yunnan, where tea continues to be widely cultivated, there is a historic Tea and Horse Caravan Route, which traveled right through to Tibet. Its remains of which are now major tourist destinations.

When tea was introduced to the West, it became so addictive that the courts of Europe sent navigatorsnavigator:领航员。 and adventurers east to try to cut out the expensive middlemen.
(这段说茶叶引入西方后受到青睐)
The rest is history, read like the tea leaves in a cup — a favorite fortune telling trick in the tearooms of Europe.
Do you know your tea? Chinese tea, that is, in its purest forms.
Chinese tea can be roughly classified according to the different processes it goes through in picking, fermenting fermenting:发酵。 and storage. There are GREEN TEA, BLACK TEA/RED TEA, OOLONG TEAOOLONG TEA:乌龙茶。, COMPRESSED TEACOMPRESSED TEA:砖茶。/TEA CAKES, FLOWER TEAS.
(可知,茶叶根据不一样的 “picking, fermenting and storage” 分为不同的品种。有红茶、黑茶/红茶、花茶,其余两个拿不准,如果考试中出现这类,就最好用排除法。)
Tea can be drunk, but it can also be eaten. In Yunnan, Hangzhou and Mount Wuyi, where the best teas are grown, the local restaurants serve tea banquets using a variety of tea in the food.
Here are a couple of recipes for you to try. The first is a teasmoked duck that is enticingly fragrant, and is a lovely appetizer chased down with — what else but — a cup of hot, steaming tea. The Longjing Crystal Prawns is a Hangzhou specialty, and it is a more delicate dish compared to the robustness of the smoked duck. Still, it is an equally appealing dish, especially when the prawns are in season, sweet and succulent.
(既然之前说茶可以吃,那么这段就介绍了用茶做得一道菜 “teasmoked duck”,不用每个单词都弄懂,考到时用代入法,按图索骥即可。)
