關(guān)于英國(guó)下午茶（英文故事）

AFTERNOON TEA (The traditional 4 o'clock tea)

This is a small meal, not a drink. Traditionally it consists of Tea (or coffee) served with either of the following:

Freshly baked scones served with cream and jam (Known as a cream tea)

Afternoon tea sandwiches often thinly sliced cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off.

Assorted pastries
Now most ordinary British families do not have time for afternoon tea at home, but in the past it was a tradition. It became popular about one hundred and fifty years ago, when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for an afternoon cup of tea. They started offering their visitors sandwiches and cakes too. Soon everyone was enjoying Afternoon tea.
