Читаем и слушаем текст на английском Чай | Уровень a2 | storie | Каждое | утро | нам | нравится | начинать | наш | день | с | чашки

1

Every morning we like to begin our day with a cup of tea.

Каждое утро нам нравится начинать наш день с чашки чая.

2

We drink tea every day.

Мы пьем чай каждый день.

3

But only three hundred years ago most of the people in Europe did not know anything about 'tea'.

Но только триста лет назад большинство людей в Европе ничего не знали о «чае».

4

Some people heard about tea but very few of them knew what to do with it. There is a story of an English sailor who brought home some tea leaves as a present for his mother. She told her friends about the present and asked them for dinner to try 'tea'.

Некоторые люди слышали о чае, но очень немногие из них знали, что с ним делать. Есть история об английском моряке, который принес домой несколько чайных листьев в качестве подарка для своей матери. Она рассказала друзьям о настоящем и попросила ужин, чтобы попробовать «чай».

5

When her friends came, the old woman brought in a dish and put it on the table.

Когда пришли ее друзья, старуха принесла блюдо и положила его на стол.

6

There were brown leaves of tea on it.

На нем были коричневые листья чая.

7

The leaves were boiled.

Листья варили.

8

The guests began to eat these boiled leaves.

Гости начали есть эти вареные листья.

9

Of course, nobody liked their taste. At that moment the sailor came in.

Конечно, никому не нравился их вкус. В этот момент вошел моряк.

10

He looked at the table, smiled and said, 'Mother, what have you done with those tea leaves?

Он посмотрел на стол, улыбнулся и сказал: «Мама, что ты сделал с этими чайными листьями?

11

' 'I have boiled them, as you told me to do.' 'And what have you done with the water?

» «Я варил их, как ты мне сказал». 'А что вы сделали с водой?

12

' 'I threw it away, of course,' answered the poor woman. 'Now you may throw the leaves away too,' said her son. Maybe such a thing has never happened and this story is only a joke.

«Я, конечно, выбросил это», - ответила бедная женщина. «Теперь ты тоже можешь выбросить листья», - сказала ее сын. Может быть, такая вещь никогда не случалась, и эта история - только шутка.

13

But it shows that people in England at that time knew very little about tea and liked to tell jokes about it. The Chinese were the first people in the world who began to grow tea.

Но это показывает, что люди в Англии в то время очень мало знали о чае и любили рассказывать об этом. Китайцы были первыми людьми в мире, которые начали выращивать чай.

14

We know that more than two thousand years ago Chinese people knew and liked tea.

Мы знаем, что более двух тысяч лет назад китайцы знали и любили чай.

15

It were the Chinese who taught other peoples to drink tea.

Это были китайцы, которые учили других людей пить чай.

16

The English word 'tea' and the Russian word «чай» are borrowed from Chinese.

Английское слово «чай» и русское слово «« а »заимствовано у китайца.

17

English people got tea from Southern China, and in the South, Chinese people call tea —'thee'. We got our tea from the North of China, and we began to call it, as the people in the North of China call it —'tcha'. Nobody knows when and how the Chinese people learned to grow tea shrubs.

Английские люди получили чай из южного Китая, а на юге китайцы называют чаем - они '. Мы получили наш чай с севера Китая, и мы начали его называть, как называют его на севере Китая. Никто не знает, когда и как китайцы научились выращивать чайные кустарники.

18

There is only an old legend about it.

В этом есть только старая легенда.

19

Here it is: Once a man promised to the gods not to sleep for nine years.

Вот: Однажды человек пообещал богам не спать в течение девяти лет.

20

At the end of three years he fell asleep.

В конце трех лет он заснул.

21

When he woke up he was so angry that he cut off his eyelids and threw them on the ground.

Когда он проснулся, он был настолько зол, что отрезал свои веки и бросил их на землю.

22

A beautiful shrub grew out of his eyelids.

Красивый кустарник вырос из его век.

23

He did not sleep for two more years.

Он не спал еще два года.

24

Then again he felt that he wanted to sleep very much.

С другой стороны, он снова почувствовал, что очень хочет спать.

25

He ate some leaves from the shrubs and felt strong enough not to sleep.

Он съел несколько листьев из кустарников и чувствовал себя достаточно сильным, чтобы не спать.

26

He called this shrub 'tcha'. This is only a legend of course.

Он назвал этот кустарник «чаха». Это только легенда, конечно.

27

We shall never know the name of the first man who planted a tea shrub and made a drink which most of the people in the world like so much.

Мы никогда не узнаем название первого человека, который посадил чайный кустарник и выпил, что большинство людей в мире так сильно.
