Day286-为什么英国人喜欢喝茶

Special- Why Do British Love Tea So Much?Well, to put it simply-they started to drink tea because they didn’t have much coffee.简单的说，欧洲人开始喝茶是由于他们并没有很多咖啡。Tea is a stimulating drink and in most cultures there has traditionally been somestimulating beverage that helps people start or get through their day.茶是一款非常提神的饮料，并且在大部分的文化中，提神的饮料可以帮助人们开始并愉快的度过他们的一天。Why the British drank more tea and not coffee comes down to what was available andaffordable to them. Other European countries had easy and affordable coffee through their trading routes, while tea was much more affordable for the British than coffee from their colonies and trading partners.为什么英国人更喜欢喝茶而不是喝咖啡的原因就在于茶是便于获得的还有供货来源。其他的欧洲国家可以通过他们自己的贸易途径而轻松的获得咖啡，而英国人却可以从他们的殖民地和贸易伙伴那里轻松的获取茶叶。Language Focus 语言焦点1. stimulating drink 提神饮料pick someone up 提神I need a cup of coffee to pick me up.2. beverage(soft drink) 饮料3. available 可以得到的Smart phones are widely available throughout the world today.4. affordable：have enough money to buy 承担得起的For most people in China, cheap smart phones are affordable.5. route 路线    trade route 贸易路线    bus route 公交路线    tour route 旅游路线
