And the changes there have been in recent decades

From a scene reminiscent of Downton Abbey in the 1900s to a Beijing tea stall in the 1980s, Fountain travelled through time once again to glimpse how tea drinking has changed in China.
從20世紀(jì)初的唐頓莊園場(chǎng)景，到80年代的北京茶攤，方丹的再次穿越之旅，聊聊中國(guó)人喝茶的變遷。

He said he still struggles to distinguish the many different kinds of Chinese tea, but has learned much more about its history.
方丹說他還是很難區(qū)分品種萬千的中國(guó)茶，但他已經(jīng)看到了他想要的。

Chinese people still love the old ways of drinking tea and think of it as part of their heritage, despite the rise of coffee shops which now thrive in China.
盡管咖啡店越來越流行，但中國(guó)人仍然熱愛著傳統(tǒng)的茶文化，并且視為珍貴的傳承。

Fountain said that due to rationing brought on by the First World War, many people in the UK were prevented from enjoying their afternoon tea.
一百多年前，由于第一次世界大戰(zhàn)的影響，食品定量配給讓下午茶的習(xí)慣在英國(guó)逐漸消失。
