Hana: You look flushed. What's the matter?
漢娜：你看起來很激動(dòng)，發(fā)生什么事了？
Nick: I'm so anxious. You must help me. I've been invited by a Japanese friend to a tea ceremony. I have no idea about how I should dress or behave. What if I should make a fool of myself!
尼克：我特別緊張，你得幫幫我。有位日本朋友邀請(qǐng)我參加茶道了。我完全不知道自己該怎么穿著表現(xiàn)。要是我出丑了怎么辦呢！
Hana: It happens that I know something of the Japanese tea ceremony. First you need to know that tea ceremony is a ritual of serving Japanese powered green tea with traditional Japanese sweets. The host needs to prepare the tea with her whole heart. Second, the whole process involves calligraphy, flower arrangement, cooking, the wearing of a kimono, ceramics and much more. I would say you are really in for a treat.
漢娜：碰巧我知道一些關(guān)于日本茶道的事情。首先你要知道，茶道是為客人提供日本抹茶和傳統(tǒng)茶點(diǎn)的儀式，主人需要全身心投入來烹茶。第二，整個(gè)茶道過程涉及書法、插花、烹茶、和服、陶瓷等等。要我說你是有福了。
Nick: Is it that complex?
尼克：有這么復(fù)雜嗎？
Hana: The point is, you need to pay attention and enjoy it wholeheartedly. Some etiquette is also necessary for the guests. Usually there will be no more than five people invited. Are you the principle guest?
漢娜：關(guān)鍵是你要集中注意力用心享受。一定的禮儀對(duì)于客人來說也是必須的。通常被邀請(qǐng)的都不會(huì)超過5個(gè)人。你是主客嗎？
Nick: No, she didn't say that. That would be someone older, I guess.
尼克：不是，她沒有說。我猜主客是更年長(zhǎng)的人。
Hana: Then it would be much easier, because the principle guest has the duty to inquire about the utensils with good timing.
漢娜：那就簡(jiǎn)單多了，因?yàn)橹骺鸵莆諘r(shí)機(jī)，詢問茶具的事情。
Nick: That's a relief. Thank you very much.
尼克：那我就放心了。謝謝你。
