An Accidental Invention
一项偶然的发明
Did you know that tea,the most popular drink in the world (after water), was invented by accident? Many people believe that tea was first drunk about 5,000 years ago. It is said that a Chinese ruler called Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink. One day Shen Nong was boiling drinking water over an open fire Some leaves from a tea plant fell into the water and remained there for some time It produced a nice smell so he tasted the brown water. It was quite delicious, and so, one of the world's favorite drinks was invented.
你知道茶，作为世界上最受欢迎的饮料（仅次于水），是一项偶然的发明吗？许多人都认为大约在5 000年以前就开始了饮茶。据说一位叫作神农的中国统治者最早发现了茶可以饮用。一天，神农在户外的炉火上烧水，茶树上有几片叶子掉入水里，过了一会儿，散发出怡人的香味，于是神农品尝了这褐色的水，它非常香醇，就这样，世界上最受欢迎的饮料之一被发明了。
A few thousand years later,Lu Yu,"the saint of tea", mentioned Shen Nong in his book ChaJing. The book describes how tea plants were grown and used to make tea. It also discusses where the finest tea leaves were produced and what kinds of water were used.
数千年后，“荼圣”陆羽在他的《茶经》一书中提到了神农。该书描述了如何种植茶树和泡茶。它还讨论了什么地方出产最好的茶叶，而且应该使用什么样的水来泡茶。
It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. In England , tea didn't appear until around 1660 , but in less than 100 years,it had become the national drink. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. This helped to spread +he popularity of tea and the tea plant to more places around the world. Even though many people now know about tea culture,the Chinese are without doubt the ones mwho best understand the nature of tea.
人们认为荼是在公元6至7世纪传播到了日本和朝鲜。在英国，大约直到1660年茶才出现，但不到100年的时间里，茶已成为国饮。从中国到西方国家的茶叶贸易始于19世纪。这使得茶树和茶叶传播到世界上更多的地方，使之深受欢迎。虽然现在有很多人都了解一些茶文化，但毫无疑问的是，中国人才是最了解茶之本质（精髓）的人。
