With very few exceptions, the chinese character "茶"(tea) is pronounced either in a way similar to the English "tea" (e.g., French "thé", and Spanish "té") or as something akin to "cha" (e.g., Hindi "???" pronounced as "chai", and Russian "чай" pronounced as "chai").
The reason dates back to ancient times when tea traveled along the Silk Road where the pronunciation "cha" became prevalent. The "teh" pronunciation — from coastal Fujian — found its way to Europe and beyond through the Maritime Silk Road.
During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, tea set sail from Xiamei village. To the north, it embarked on a magnificent journey across the vast Eurasian continent. To the south, it reached the bustling port of Fuzhou and continued its journey worldwide via the Maritime Silk Road.
"Digitization is the next step. We need badly infrastructure projects, agriculture projects, interconnectivity projects and that falls into the BRI system," said Jaime FlorCruz, ambassador of the Philippines to China.
Over the past 10 years, the Belt and Road Initiative has generated more than 3,000 collaborative projects, involving investment of nearly trillion. It has created nearly 420,000 jobs in the countries involved and helped pull 40 million people out of poverty.
天快要到啦，是不是又想要去奶茶店报道，喝一杯冰爽的芝芝莓莓，眯起幸福的小眼睛，乐歪歪啊~
"奶茶"用英语怎么说呢？我们来总结一下超级常见的饮品英语表达吧。go！
奶茶的英文怎么说？
首先，你说"milk tea"，老外其实是能听得懂的，但是并非你是所说的奶茶，"milk tea"在老外心中是"milk + tea"的英式奶茶。在1680年成为了英国皇室贵族的专供饮品，具体做法是直接把煮沸的鲜奶冲到红茶里，还会配点心。而大家常喝的、像coco这种加了珍珠等配料的奶茶，国际通用的叫法是 "bubble tea "（因为奶茶顶部有一层绵密的“泡泡”）。
< class="pgc-img">< class="pgc-img">< class="pgc-img">在维基百科中
珍珠奶茶这样定义的：
"The oldest known bubble tea consisted of a mixture of hot Taiwanese black tea, small tapioca pearls, condensed milk, and syrup or honey. Many variations followed; the most common are served cold rather than hot. The most prevalent varieties of tea have changed frequently.The latter method allows the tea to be shaken in the serving cup and makes it spill-free until one is ready to drink it. The cellophane is then pierced with an oversize straw large enough to allow the toppings to pass through. Today, in Taiwan, it is most common for people to refer to the drink as pearl milk tea (zhēn zhū nǎi chá, or zhēn nǎi for short).
翻译过来的意思就是：
“已知最古老的奶茶由热的台湾红茶、小木薯珍珠、炼乳和糖浆或蜂蜜混合而成。随后出现了许多变化，最常见的是冷饮而不是热饮，最流行的茶叶品种经常发生变化。后一种方法是把茶放在盛茶的杯子里摇匀，让它自由溢出，直到你准备好喝它，然后用一根足够大的吸管将玻璃纸刺穿，这样可以通过纸面。如今，在台湾，人们最常见的称呼是珍珠奶茶。”
"Bo Ba"奶茶
珍珠奶茶，经常被叫做"Bo Ba"奶茶，
美国东部的年轻人管奶茶叫"bubble tea"，“bubble”是气泡的意思
< class="pgc-img">如果你是一个“奶茶控”，你可以用“milk tea buff”称呼自己。
“buff”就是“增益、增加”的意思，在英雄联盟里的“蓝爸爸”，其实就是“blue buff”
I'm a milk tea buff. I know that drinking too much bubble tea is bad for my health, but I can't control myself.
我是一个奶茶控，尽管知道喝太多奶茶对我身体不好，但是我控制不住我自己啊！

英语口语的"奶茶"不叫“milk tea”
那叫什么？
"奶茶"怎么说呢？
大概说到奶茶，很多人就会想到milk tea
老外也不是听不懂，也不算是错
但milk tea更多指的是英式奶茶
(直接用奶冲到茶里，还会配点心的那种~)
像“coco”这种奶茶
在美国西部就被称为
boba 波霸奶茶，珍珠奶茶
(别想歪了)
boba /?b??.b??/ 奶茶里的珍珠
< class="pgc-img">所以呢，也叫"珍珠奶茶 pearl tea"
在美国东部被称为
bubble tea
bubble是指奶茶顶部的"泡泡"(也是象形语言了)
< class="pgc-img">扩展学习1：
"来杯奶茶，少冰"怎么说呢？
错误表达
↓
(?)I'd like a bubble tea, less ice.
我们说的"少冰"是在还没放冰之前，要求"少放一些冰"
如果说less ice，是taking ice out的意思
(觉得放进去的冰有点多，要再取出一些)
正确的表达应该是：
(?)I'd like a bubble tea, go easy on the ice.
go easy 少用些......，对.....有节制
例如：
Go easy on the cream
- It's too rich.
别吃那么多奶油
——热量太高了。
< class="pgc-img">go easy on the ice
少用些冰(少冰)
补充：
regular amount of ice 正常放冰
extra ice 多放冰
no ice 不要冰
a little ice 最小量的冰
< class="pgc-img">扩展学习2：
"来杯奶茶，多放糖"怎么说呢？
错误表达
↓
(?)I'd like a bubble tea, add more sugar.
这个句子错在用add
↓
add表示：单独添加
add more sugar就是
已经做好奶茶，撕开包装，再单独加糖
(怕是不太正常)
正确的表达是：
(?)I'd like a bubble tea with more sugar.
"加"用with表示：
随着...,和...一起
此外，我们说的加"红豆、布丁"的
"加"也用“with”
例如：
I'd like a bubble tea with red bean.
来杯珍珠奶茶，加红豆。
< class="pgc-img">补充：那些常见的加料
pudding 布丁
taro 芋头
grass jelly 仙草
sago 西米
nata jelly 椰果
