2020年1月17日

英国人对下午茶的热爱几乎媲美“跨越生死的爱恋”...今天就来给大家讲讲英国的下午茶礼仪~

英国人的下午有一起喝茶吃点心的传统，饮红茶在英国有着300多年的历史。与中国不同的是，英国人喝茶要加牛奶和糖，还要配上精致的小点心，比如三明治、司康饼和小蛋糕等。

传统的下午茶一般在四点，女主人会亲自穿着正式华丽的长裙为客人服务，以示尊重。正统的茶点一般有三层，放置在精致的架子和瓷盘中，需要由底层逐层向上吃。

下午茶看似休闲其实极为讲究，一举一动都有规范，要尽显英伦贵族的典雅之气。该如何摆放餐巾和搅拌红茶？先涂果酱还是奶油？餐后又该如何擦嘴？请看礼仪专家William Hanson传授的英式下午茶官方指南！教你像英国贵族那样优雅喝下午茶~

What could be nicer than enjoying a traditional English afternoon tea? But are you doing it correctly？Here's my official guide.

还有什么事情能比享受传统英式下午茶更美好呢？但你知道享用下午茶的标准礼仪么？以下就是我的官方指南。

First things first. The napkin never called the serviette. Take it and place it on your lap with the crease folded towards you. And next comes the actual drinking tea.

首先，餐巾，可不是擦脸巾。拿起餐巾，将它展开平铺于双腿，对折后，折痕朝向自己。接下来，到了真正喝茶的部分。

Always loose leaf tea please. So you'll need to use a tea strainer. And when it comes to stirring our tea, we go back and forth back and forth in a 6-12 motion, rather than round and round creating an awful racket splashing.

请一定要用散装茶叶，因此，你会需要一个滤茶器。搅拌茶的时候，应该以前后方向进行搅拌，以6-12点钟方向前后搅拌，而不是一圈一圈来回打转搅拌，发出敲打杯壁的恼人声响。

And any sugar that you have added in will just sit in the bottom rather than dissolving. After you've eaten the sandwiches with your fingers, not with a knife and fork. Then you can move on to the scones.

而你加入的糖块，会沉在杯底，而不会溶解于茶水中。直接用手指拿起三明治食用，无需使用刀叉。享用完三明治后，下一步，便可以开始享用司康饼了。

Pronounced [sk?n], not [sk??n].We don't use a knife to cut into our scones, we break them with our hands in two. Just like so!

正确发音是'司康'，不是'司工'。我们不会用刀切开司康饼，而是直接用手将它掰成两半。就像这样！

When it comes to layering your scone, you have two options. If you are using Cornish clotted cream then the procedure is that you put the jam on first, the cream on last.

涂抹司康饼时会有两种选择。如果你用的是康沃尔浓缩奶油，那么正确步骤是先抹果酱，之后再放奶油。

Whereas the Devonians with Devonshire clotted cream, like the cream to seep into the scone, and so they put it on first.

要是德文郡浓缩奶油，按照德文郡当地人的做法，他们喜欢奶油渗入司康饼的口感，所以要先涂奶油。

If you're neither Cornish or Devonian, you can do as you please. But never sandwich the two together, and eat as a whole

如果你既不是康沃尔人，也不是德文郡人，你可以怎么高兴怎么来。但是千万别把两种奶油混在一起，然后整个吃掉。

We use a small fork or sometimes a pastry fork to eat, but upturned in the right hand. And when you have finished, make sure you dab your mouth, not wipe.

我们会用小号叉子，或者讲究点，用专用甜点叉来享用，用右手翻转过来。当你享用完，你应该轻拍嘴唇，而不能直接擦拭。
