品尝一下粤式早茶的英文（当你会用英语叹早茶）

Zao Cha, ormorning tea, is the typical morning activity in Canton people’s daily life. When waking up in the morning, drinking a cup of tea to refresh breath and oneself, tasting snacks to stimulate a good appetite, it is really a fantastic life!

早茶，是广东人民消磨早晨时间的一项特色。当你一早起床，喝上一杯早茶放松身心，吃着美味的点心食欲大振，真是美妙的生活啊！所以，广东人一般将“喝早茶”称为“叹早茶”，一个“叹”字将这种悠闲的心境体现得淋漓尽致。

Because we’re talking about morning tea, so let’s first talk about some kinds of tea that we have in this leisure.

既然我们聊的是早茶，那就来看看我们通常都会喝哪些茶吧~

1. Oolong Tea乌龙茶

E.g.Tieh-Kuan-Yin Tea 铁观音茶

Green Tea 绿茶类

E.g.Dragon Well Tea 龙井茶

Black tea 黑茶类

E.g.Pu Er Tea 普洱茶

注意哦，喝茶的时候茶楼是要收茶位费的，费用多少根据所选茶的品质和茶楼的档次来定，所以小伙伴们喝茶之前一定要问清楚哦~

E.g.I favor Dragon Well Tea for its unique taste and its tea-water which is clear and bright.

我喜欢西湖龙井茶，因为它口味独特，并且茶汤清凉明晰。

2.shao-mai 烧麦

干蒸烧麦了喂（粤语）！在广东早茶里面，烧麦往往指的就是“干蒸”这类点心，金黄色的外皮，中间是鲜嫩的猪肉，顶部用几颗蟹子点缀，真是叫人垂涎欲滴呀！

E.g. Would you like to have some shao-mai? It’s really worth trying.

你想来点干蒸吗？真的很值得一尝哦。

3. barbecued pork buns叉烧包

早茶里边儿能吃到的叉烧包有两种，一种是白面粉外包，中部开裂放入叉烧馅儿的；另一种呢则是圆圆的形状，金褐色外皮泛着点点油光，叉烧馅藏在里面的做法——bun形容的是圆圆的、萌萌哒的小面包，因此这个表达专指第二种叉烧包啦~（btw,也是昊仔最爱吃的点心之一哦！）

E.g.The barbecued pork bun is a kind of delicate dim-sum with a glistening surface outside and delicious stuffing inside.

叉烧包是一种外皮鲜亮，馅料美味的点心。

4. shrimp dumpling 虾饺

虾饺绝对算得上是广式点心中的基本款了——没吃过虾饺，你都不好意思说你在广东喝过早茶。现在依然能见到不少老人家喝茶时“一盅两件”的习惯——“盅”指的是泡茶用的器皿，而“两件”代指的就是虾饺、干蒸这样的点心。

E.g.When eating the shrimp dumpling, the transparent dumpling wrapper with the shrimp materialsinside will bring you a fresh taste.

虾饺外裹着晶莹剔透的饺子皮，内里充满了鲜美的虾肉，给你带来鲜香的味蕾体验。

5. Wonton noodles 云吞面（馄饨面）

Wonton一词的发音来自于馄炖的粤语发音“云吞”，类似的词还有上文提到的点心，dim-sum，点心（粤语）。

According to Wikipedia, In Cantonese cuisine, shrimp filled wonton within minced pork is most commonly served with thin noodles to make wonton noodles.

根据维基百科的解释呢，在粤菜里边儿，云吞面里的云吞馅儿通常都是用虾仁和切碎的猪肉混合而成的，拌上细面条，一碗香喷喷的云吞面就摆在你面前。

E.g.My mum usually prepares me a bowl of wonton noodles when I wake up in the morning.

我母亲通常会为我煮上一碗云吞面做早餐。

wow that will be a perfect breakfast….my stomach is growling…

6.Chinese cruller油炸鬼（油条）

Actually Chinese cruller is a nation-wide snack in China when people have their breakfast.

实际上，油条是全国人民都喜爱的一种早餐配菜，只是在称谓上有所区别，比如广东地区就普遍将油条称作是油炸鬼（粤语）

In Canton, we usually combine the cruller with another food to soften the hard surface of the cruller for better flavor. So what is that？

See in the example below:

叹早茶的时候，我们通常将油条与另一种食物相结合用来软化油条的坚硬外壳，那是什么呢？看看下面的例子吧~

E.g.Cantonese people love to soak the Chinesecruller into the porridge to enjoy the best taste of this cuisine.

广东人喜欢将油条泡进粥里面从而激发出最美妙的口感。

Alright, we have got to know some of the delicacies in Cantonese morning tea and it’s time for us to pay the bill!

叹了早茶，吃了点心，是不是该结账啦~？

Fine this is the end of today and here I want to leave you guys a question:

你知道“叹早茶”还可以怎样用英语说嘛？

Tips: 这个词来自于中文“饮茶”一词的粤语发音哦

Great, so see you next time and have a good day！
