本杰明带着罗拉到茶馆喝茶,还顺便给她讲起了喝茶的讲究,还真不简单啊。 Listen Read Learn Benjamin:It's a special green tea named Longjing Tea from Zhejiang province. Laura:What's special about it except its pleasant smell? Benjamin:You can see that it keeps the original color of the tea leaves very well. Laura:They must have some special methods to do this during the process. Benjamin:Probably. I love green tea. It's one of my daily necessities. Laura:Then, do you have “tea time” every day? I mean, do you drink tea at a settled time? Benjamin:Not really. But I really love to have after-meal tea. Laura:What's the advantage about tea? Benjamin:There are a lot of them. In hot or warm days, tea helps to dispel the heat and brings on an instant cool with a feeling of relaxation. Moreover, the tea leaves contain a number of chemicals which are good for people's health. Laura:Does that mean the stronger the better? Benjamin:No. Constant drinking of over-strong tea would do harm to people's health. So don't make your tea too strong. Laura:Got it. What's the proper time for tea? Benjamin:It's fine for most time of the day. But don't have tea before bedtime. Laura:Why? Benjamin:It will give rise to occasional insomnia. OK, let's enjoy the tea before it gets cold. 听看学 本杰明:这是一种特殊的绿茶,名叫龙井茶,来自浙江省。 罗拉:除了清新的香味,它还有什么特别的吗? 本杰明:你可以看到它很好地保持了茶叶原来的颜色。 罗拉:他们一定是在生产过程中用了特殊的方法。 本杰明:很有可能。我喜欢绿茶。它是我日常的必需品。 罗拉:那么,你每天有喝茶的时间吗?我是想问,你会在固定的时间喝茶吗? 本杰明:那倒不是。不过我特别喜欢在饭后喝茶。 罗拉:茶的好处是什么? 本杰明:这可多了。在天热的时候,茶可以驱热,立刻会带来一种凉爽而轻松的感觉。而且,茶叶中含有很多有益于人体健康的化学成分。 罗拉:那是不是茶泡得越浓就越好呢? 本杰明:不是。常喝过浓的茶对身体有害。所以别把茶泡得太浓了。 罗拉:知道了。喝茶的适当时间是什么时候? 本杰明:一天中大多数时间都可以。但是睡觉前别喝茶。 罗拉:为什么? 本杰明:那会增大偶然失眠的几率。好了,我们快喝茶吧,别等它凉了。 生词小结 process n. 过程 settled adj. 固定的 dispel vt. 驱散 chemical n. 化学成分 constant adj. 经常的 occasional adj. 偶然的 insomnia n. 失眠 词汇扩展 Vocabulary Builder 基础词汇 black tea 红茶 green tea 绿茶 herb tea 凉茶 iced tea 冰茶 Kungfu tea 功夫茶 lemon tea 柠檬茶 puli tea 普洱茶 rose tea 玫瑰花茶 提高词汇 almond tea 杏仁茶 chrysanthemum tea 菊花茶 iron goddess 铁观音 malt tea 麦芽茶 oulung 乌龙茶 ptisan 大麦茶 scented tea 花茶 white gourd tea 冬瓜茶 Do it together 家庭总动员 The ( ) smells good.
