19 Tea
We drink tea every day. But more than three hundred years ago most people in Europe did not know any t h I n q about tea．Some people had heard about it, but very few of them knew what to do about it.
There is a story about an English sailor who went to countries in the west, the east and the south．He had been to India and China．One day he came home and brought some tea as a present for his mother．She told her friends about the present and asked them to a“tea party”．When her friends came to the“tea party”，the old woman brought out some tea一leaves and asked them
to eat．Of course，nobody liked the tea一leaves．At that time，the sailor came in．He looked at the table and said，“ Mother, what have you done with the tea？”“ I boiled it as you said．”“ And what did you do with the water?”“ I throw it away, of course，”answered the old woman．“ Now， you may throw away the leaves，too，”said the sailor.
茶
我们每天都喝茶。不过，在三百多年前，大多数欧洲人还不了解有关茶的事。一些人听说过茶，但几乎没有多少人知道用它能做什么、
有这样一则故事：一名英国水手去了西方、东方和南方的一些国家。他到过印度和中国。一天，他回家并带回来一些茶作为给他母亲的礼物。他母亲对她的朋友们说起这件礼物，还邀请他们参加“茶会”。她的朋友来到“茶会”上时，这个老妇人拿出些茶叶，让她们吃。当然，没人喜欢吃茶叶。就在那时，水手进来了。他朝桌子上看了看说：“妈妈你是怎么做茶的？”“按照你说的．我把它煮了”“你把煮后的水怎么样了，”“我当然把它倒了，”老夫人回答。“现在，你可以把这些叶子也扔掉了，”水手说。
