英式下午茶的一些英文
说到吃，我可太喜欢啦，呵呵。
一般来讲，上层社会的afternoon tea 讲究一些，通常有:beverage-饮品： black tea (milk or sugur added);staple-主食: sandwich（celery+cucumber+ham+omelette+salmon）；dessert-点心类：biscuit（饼干），cookie（曲奇），muffin（英式小松饼），fruit cake（水果蛋糕），pastry（酥皮点心）
英式下午茶三层点心盘分别是多大
在欧洲贵族日常生活中三层盘是给佣人用的，主人用两层盘。
因为主人是坐着用餐，所以坐姿底两层刚好。
佣人等主人用餐后再把主人剩下的食物用三层盘子放在一起几个人一起站着食用。
所以用三层
英国正宗传统下午茶的具体礼仪
英国下 1、喝下午茶的最正统时间是下午四点钟(就是一称的Low Tea) 2、在维多利亚时代，男士是着燕尾服，女士则着长袍。
每年在白金汉宫的正式下午茶会，男性来宾则仍着燕尾服，戴高帽及手持雨伞;女性则穿白天洋装，且一定要戴帽子。
3、通常是由女主人着正式服装亲自为客人服务。
非不得以…才请女佣协助以表示对来宾的尊重。
4、一般来讲，下午茶的专用茶 为祁门红茶，大吉岭与伯爵茶、锡兰红茶，若是喝奶茶，则是先加牛奶再加茶。
5、正统的英式下午茶的点心是用三层点心瓷盘装盛，第一层放三明治、第二层放传统英式点心Scone、第三层则放蛋糕及水果塔;由下往上开回吃。
至于Scone的吃法是先涂果酱、再涂奶油，吃完一口、再涂下一口。
6、点心食用礼仪。
由淡而重由咸而甜。
茶点的食用顺序应该遵从味道由淡而重，由咸而甜的法则。
先尝尝带点咸味的三明治，让味蕾慢慢品出食物的真味，再啜饮几口芬芳四溢的红茶。
接下来是涂抹上果酱或奶油的英式松饼，让些许的甜味在口腔中慢慢散发，最后才由甜腻厚实的水果塔，带领你亲自品尝下午茶点的最高潮。
7、严谨的态度。
这是一种绅士淑女风范的礼仪，最重要是当时因茶几乎仰赖中国的输入，英国人对茶品有着无与伦比的热爱与尊重，因此在喝下午茶过程难免流露出严谨的态度。
甚至，为了预防茶叶被偷，还有一种上了锁的茶柜，每当下午茶时间到了，才委由女佣取钥匙开柜取茶。
8、品赏精致的茶器。
下午茶必备茶具： 1. 茶杯 2. 茶壶 3. 三层(二层)点心盤 4. 糖罐 5. 奶盅瓶 6. 保温棉罩 7. 茶匙 8. 托盤(端茶品用) 9. 沙漏(计时器) 10. 滤茶器 11. 茶叶量匙 12. 摇铃 13. 蕾丝桌巾 14. 温热器 15. 个人点心盤 16. 果酱及奶油盤 17. 餐具(奶油刀、蛋糕夹、蛋糕铲刀、叉等_) 18. 茶渣碗 19. 瓷器热水壼
英国人的下午茶 中英文对照

Afternoon Tea is the service that comes to mind when we think of a sophisticated British tea. It’s the elegant repast served at 4 or 5 pm, consisting of tea with scones, small sandwiches, cakes and other pastries. A Cream Tea means that clotted cream is served as well. Clotted cream, also called Devonshire cream, is a thick cream made by heating milk until a layer of cream forms on its surface that is then cooled and skimmed off. Afternoon tea was invented by Anna, Duchess of Bedford (1783 – 1857), wife of the 7th Duke, in 1840 as a way to quell the inevitable hunger pangs between lunch and dinner. In other words, she “got too hungry for dinner at eight…”! In the 19th century large meaty breakfasts were common and luncheon was a light sort of picnic with no servants present. Dinner was not served until 8 pm, so it is perfectly understandable that the duchess got a little hungry in the late afternoon. Traditionally, a formal afternoon tea is performed according to certain rules of etiquette. At intimate gatherings the tea server (usually the hostess) pours the tea while seated with her guests. The server first asks Sugar?”, then “one lump or two?. The sugar, if requested, is placed in the cup using specially designed sugar tongs. Then she asks, Milk, or lemon? Milk and lemon should not be used together since lemon curdles the milk. Fresh milk is the best choice for Indian or African teas, and lemon for Ceylon or China teas.The milk is poured before the tea. (But see Tea Trivia below!!)For the lemon-takers, a plate garnished with thinly sliced lemons is offered with a small fork. Most British think that the addition of lemon is pretentious\\\/affected!After handing the cup to the guest, hot water is offered for those who like their tea weaker. Once everyone is served tea, the guests select traditional tea fare from the table or a tiered cake stand. The goodies can include crumpets slathered with butter, tea breads with fresh and dried fruits, dainty well-trimmed tea sandwiches, tall stand cakes, flaky scones, tart jams, lemon curds, small cookies, etc. Each guest takes a napkin, a small plate, and a butter knife for spreading jam, cream or sweet butter. It takes some practice to balance a full cup, saucer, plate piled high with cakes and sandwiches, knife and napkin, but dropping crumbs and spilling tea are initiation rites and part of the enjoyment of the ceremony. For Hotel restaurant or Tea Room service, wait staff serve customers at individual tables.
