时隔一个月，茶歇中文播客又回来了。最近，我完成了学校的考试，搬了家... 所以没能即使更新播客。希望大家理解。 今天，在欧美各大学校里，我们都能看见中国留学生的影子。自从1872年清朝政府派遣 “留美幼童” 前往海外留学以来，中国学生对外国院校一直有挥之不去的憧憬。今天，中国学生为什么选择出国留学？毕业之后，他们又何去何从？ After one month's break, TeaTime Chinese is back. Recently, I finished all of my exams at school. I also moved to a new place… which led to my unpunctual update of the podcast. I thank you for your understanding. Nowadays, in major schools and universities in Europe and America, it's commonplace to see Chinese students. Since the Qing Dynasty sent the first group of young children to America for study, Chinese students have always been fascinated by educational institutions of the West. Today, why do Chinese students choose to study abroad? After graduation, what will their choices be?   ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Visit merch store ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate

你能相信吗？这是《茶歇中文播客》第一次给大家介绍 “茶文化”。4000多年前，神农在尝试各种植物时中毒，吃了茶叶之后，恢复健康。从此，人们开始喝茶。在中国，“荼” 和 “茶” 字通用，在不同地区有不同的发音。唐朝以来，喝茶成为中国人的习惯。再后来，茶去了亚洲别的国家，还去了欧洲。欧洲人把茶叶看作是很珍贵的饮料。在今天的中国，年轻人越来越喜欢喝咖啡。茶渐渐地以奶茶的形式进入年轻人的生活。 Can you believe that? This is the first time that we talk about "tea culture" at TeaTime Chinese. 4,000 years ago, Shennong was poisoned whilst he was tasting different herbs. After accidentally eating tea leaves, he recovered from poisoning. From then on, people started drinking tea. In China, "Tu" and "Cha" are interchangeable, and are pronounced differently in different regions. Since the Tang Dynasty, drinking tea has become a daily habit for the Chinese people. Later on, tea went to other Asian countries, before it went to Europe. In Europe, people saw tea as a precious beverage. Today, young Chinese people have a preference for coffee. Tea remains in young people's lives in the form of milk tea. ◉ Read transcripts for free ◉ Become a Patron ◉ Visit merch store ◉ Find us on YouTube ◉ We are on LinkedIn ◉ We are on Facebook ◉ Find a Chinese teacher on italki and receive $10 ◉ One-time Donate
