Jane: Hi, Lu, I need your help. Prof. Chan invited me to have dinner yesterday. I found the tea there is particularly appealing. Chan said it's called chamomile tea. Do you know where to buy it?
簡：嗨，露，我需要你的幫助。昨天陳老師邀請我吃晚飯，我發現那里的茶水格外好喝。陳老師告訴我這是甘菊茶，你知道哪里可以買到嗎？
Lu: Chamomile? Is it a kind of chrysanthemum?
露：甘菊？是一種菊花嗎？
Jane: I guess it is. Small dried flowers.
簡：應該是的，一個小的干花。
Lu: Oh, I got it! You can buy it in almost any supermarket you go. There are many other flavors as well, such as mint, lotus, globe amaranth, chrysanthemum, jasmine, lily, hibiscus, and osmanthus teas.
露：哦，那我明白了，差不多所有超市都可以買到的。還有其他的品種呢，比如，薄荷茶、蓮花茶、百日紅茶、菊花茶、茉莉花茶、百合花茶、芙蓉花茶、桂花茶。
Jane: Wow, I think you Chinese are clever indeed.
簡：哇塞，我覺得你們中國人真的很聰明！
Lu: Ha, yeah, Chinese people drink tea not only for its scent but in a large extent for numerous health benefits.
露：哈，是呀，中國人喝茶不僅是因為茶的香味沁人，在很大程度上是因為它有很多保健功效。
Jane: Could you list one or two?
簡：你可以列舉一二嗎？
Lu: Jasmine is good for digestion. Chrysanthemum tea is beneficial for the eyes and has a soothing effect on them. It's also said that flower tea can improve the overall health, because it is rich in vitamins and minerals.
露：茉莉花茶可以促進消化。菊花茶可以保護視力，舒緩眼睛。還有人說花茶富含維生素和礦物質，有改善整個身體機能的功效。
