下午茶

Tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 Pm.

茶并不仅仅是饮料，还是在下午4点左右的便餐。

The Duchess asked that a tray of tea, bread and butter (some time earlier, the Earl of Sandwich had had the idea of putting a filling between two slices of bread) and cake be brought to her room during the late afternoon.

安娜于是吩咐人在下午晚些时候准备茶、面包、黄油（在这之前，三明治伯爵发明了三明治）以及蛋糕之类的东西，端到她的房间。久而久之就成了习惯。
