　　High tea

　　高茶

　　To the uninitiated[8] “high tea” may be a confusing term.

　　对于外行，“高茶”这个词可能让人摸不着头脑。

　　[8] uninitiated 无专门知识(或经验)的人。

　　High tea is an early evening meal, typically eaten between 5:00 and 6:00 pm. It would be eaten as a substitute for both afternoon tea and the evening meal. The term comes from the meal being eaten at the ‘high’ (main) table, instead of the smaller lounge (low) table. It is now largely replaced by the later meal tea.

　　“高茶”指傍晚时分所用的餐点，特指下午5点至6点的用餐。高茶可以代替下午茶和晚餐。人们在“高”(主)桌上用餐，而不是在较小的客厅茶几(矮脚桌)上，“高茶”由此得名。如今，高茶基本上被晚些时候的那顿茶餐代替了。

　　It would usually consist of cold meats, eggs and/or fish, cakes and sandwiches. In a family, it tended to be less formal and is an informal snack (featuring sandwiches, cookies, pastry, fruit and the like) or else it is the main evening meal.

　　高茶一般会有盘肉、鸡蛋和/或鱼、蛋糕以及三明治。在家里，高茶没有那么正式讲究，可以是随意的小食(有三明治、曲奇、油酥点心、水果等)，也可以是晚上正餐。

　　On farms, in rural areas or other working class environments, high tea would be the traditional, substantial meal eaten by workers immediately after nightfall, and would combine afternoon tea with the main evening meal.

　　而如果是在农场、农村地区或其他工薪阶层出入的地方，高茶往往指工人们在傍晚食用的那顿传统丰盛的餐点，把下午茶和晚上正餐合到了一起。

　　In recent years, “high tea” somehow became a word for exquisite afternoon tea. Such usage is incorrect. High tea is not, in traditional terms, afternoon tea.

　　近些年，“高茶”不知怎么变成了“精致下午茶”的代名词，这样的用法是错误的。传统上，“高茶”不是“下午茶”。
