It's a cup of tea

喝茶

Here are the rules: milk should be poured in after the tea; stir the milk in with your spoon in a back and forth motion (12 to 6 o'clock); the spoon should be placed on the saucer behind the cup, and you should never hook your finger around the cup handle. Instead, pinch your index finger and thumb through the loop and rest the base of the handle on your middle finger. If the table is too low, hold the saucer at waist height.

喝茶的规矩是：先倒茶再倒牛奶；用勺子前后来回搅拌牛奶（在12点和6点的方向之间）；勺子要放在茶杯后的茶碟上，不要把手指勾在茶杯的把手上。用食指和大拇指捏住把手的环，把中指放在把手的底部。如果桌子太矮了，把茶碟端在齐腰的高度。

Don't call it high tea

不要把下午茶称作“high tea”

During the Downton Abbey era, the name 'high tea' referred to an evening snack which the staff ate, because it consisted of a substantial meal of cake and meat and was eaten on a high wooden table. The Americans misinterpreted it as a name for glamour and richness.

在《唐顿庄园》时代，“high tea”指的是晚上家仆们吃的小吃，因为这种小吃主要是由蛋糕和肉类组成，并且是在高高的木桌上吃的，所以叫“high tea”。美国人误认为这个名字有魅力并体现了富有。
