英國小哥談中國茶文化

Do you remember the video of the young Englishman, Greg Fountain, taking a train through time in China?
還記得英國小哥方丹在中國的火車穿越視頻嗎？

After the video went viral, being viewed by millions, he was inspired to continue his Chinese adventures - from the past, through the present, to the future.
自從他的視頻被千萬網友圍觀分享后，方丹決定繼續深入他在中國的時空旅程。

He knows Chinese people, like Britons, favor tea over any other drink.
他知道像英國人一樣，中國人對茶的喜愛超過任何一種飲料。

And he was curious about where and how Chinese people drink their tea.
他好奇中國人在哪里喝茶？

He read many stories about Chinese tea to make the video.
努力的小哥為了拍視頻看了很多中國茶的故事。

He studied the legendary origins of tea and tea culture
從茶的起源故事到中國茶文化。

And the changes there have been in recent decades
再到近幾十年的變化

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世紀初的唐頓莊園場景，到80年代的北京茶攤，方丹的再次穿越之旅，聊聊中國人喝茶的變遷。

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分品種萬千的中國茶，但他已經看到了他想要的。

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，但中國人仍然熱愛著傳統的茶文化，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的影響，食品定量配給讓下午茶的習慣在英國逐漸消失。

It is only in a peaceful and stable society that tradition can survive and develop.
只有和平和穩定的社會，才能讓傳統生存并且繼續發展。

So, what will be the next video for Fountain?
