Sure. Just put some leaves in the cup and fill the cup with boiling water. It`ll be ready in a few minutes.
当然.在杯中放入一些茶叶.加上开水就可以了.几分钟就能泡好.
托尼:
Actually it`s not that easy. What you have said is just the common case. Sometimes it might take half a day.
实际上没那么简单.你说的只是一般泡法.有时候泡茶需要大半天的时间呢.
杰克:
So many hours! Incredible.
要那么多钟头?不会吧.
托尼:
It`s said that it will take a long time to prepare the tea utensils and boil the water. The water is said to be important. Good tea needs good water. It had better be glacier water.
据说需要很长时间来准备茶具和烧水.水据说也非常重要.好茶要好水才行.最好是用雪中融化的水.
杰克:
That will be hard to find in summer!
那在夏天是很难找到的.
托尼:
Yes. However, since tea has become a current nation-wide custom in China, the procedure was been simplified. Means who can afford half a day for just a cup of tea?
是啊.但是因为茶已经成为当前全国范围的风俗.过程就简化了许多.要不.谁能花得起半天时间来喝一杯茶呢?
