The polite English man at table holds and keeps his knife in his right hand, his fork in his left, cuts his meat and presses(压) his vegetables into his fork. The polite American first cuts up all his meat, then places his knife down of the right of his plate, takes his fork in his right hand and with his fork lifts the food to the mouth. He will have coffee half way through his dinner before the pudding. The Englishman drinks his coffee after the dinner. And, of course, Americans are coffee-drinkers rather than tea-drinkers. The Englishman would be surprised at the American’s idea of how tea should be made.
The popular way to make tea is to take a cup or a pot of hot water and drop into it a cotton bag with tee leaves in it. For a change they will sometimes put a pan of water on the electric stove(炉)and, just as the water gets warm, throw in some tea and then pour(倒)the mixture into a tea pot, pour it from there into a cup(or a glass) and drink it without turning a hair.
