True story 真实故事

 

I Iove drinking tea,and knowing this.A friend once invited me to a teahouse where we had one of my favourite types of tea:oolong.During the conversation my friend told me that his whole family liked to drink tea,especially his mother:“She really likes to drink thick tea.”It took me a while to figure out his meaning,but eventually I re-alized that what he meant to say was“她喜 欢喝浓茶.Which in English would be "She likes to drink really strong tea.”

 

我喜欢喝茶而且精于此道。曾经一位朋友邀请我去一家茶社喝茶，在那我们喝了我最喜欢的一种茶—乌龙茶。交谈中朋友告诉我他全家都喜欢喝茶，特别是他的妈妈:"She really likes to drink thick tea.”我想了好一会才明白他是想说“她喜欢喝浓茶。”这在英语中应该是“She likes to drink really strong tea.”
