　　Well, to put it simply- they started to drink tea because they didn't have much coffee.

　　简单来说，欧洲人开始喝茶是因为他们并没有太多咖啡。

　　Tea is a stimulating¹ drink and in most cultures there has traditionally been some stimulating beverage² that helps people start or get through their day.

　　茶是一款提神饮料，而且在大多数文化中，提神饮料可以帮助人们开始或者度过他们的一天。

　　Why the Brits drank more tea and not coffee comes down to what was available and affordable³ 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咖啡的原因在于茶可获得也有供货来源。其他的欧洲国家可以通过他们的贸易路径轻松获得咖啡，而英国人可以从他们的殖民地和贸易伙伴那里轻而易举的获得茶叶。

　　I don’t know why I do, but I do!

　　我不知道为什么我喜欢喝茶，但我确实喜欢。

　　It’s hard to beat the flavour of a properly brewed⁴ English Breakfast tea with just the right amount of milk.飘着清香的英国早餐茶加入适量的牛奶，那味道令人难以抗拒。

　　I reckon tea has indirectly⁵ powered quite a few household products, through me turning tea into code :)

　　我认为茶无形当中带动了一些家用产品，茶其实成了一种行为准则。

　　I'm finding this answer difficult to put into words , it's like asking why you like oxygen and water so much ! It's literally⁶ that important to our way of life . A cup of tea is just a little piece of heaven in a cup .

　　我觉得这个问题的回答很难用语言来表达就好像问你为什么如此喜欢氧气和水。茶对于我们的生活方式相当重要。一杯茶就好像是杯子里的一小片天空。
