Перевести! the british are very fussy about how their tea is made. the teapot must be warmed before the tea is put in, the water must be boiling properly, the right quantity of tea — “one spoon for each person and one for the pot” — must be used and the tea must be brewed for three minutes. they see the drinking of tea as the opportunity to relax for a few minutes. it’s also regarded as a great comforter. if you’ve just suffered a misfortune in britain and you call on a friend, you’re likely to be told, “oh well, just sit down and i’ll make you a nice cup of tea”!
