Directions:There is a short passage in this part. Please translate the English passage into Chinese.Afternoon tea was introduced in England by Anna in the year 1840. Anna would become hungry around  four o'clock in the afternoon. The evening meal in her household was served fashionably late at eight o'clock,thus leaving a long period of time between lunch and dinner. Anna asked that a tray of tea, bread and butter and cake be brought to her room during the late afternoon. This became a habit of hers and she began invit-ing friends to join her.
 This pause for tea became a fashionable social event. During the 1880's upper-class and society women would change into formal dresses, gloves and hats for their afternoon tea which was usually served in the drawing room between four and five o'clock. Traditional afternoon tea consists of a selection of sandwiches(including of course thinly sliced cucumber sandwiches). Cakes and sliced bread are also served.
Nowadays however, in the average suburban home,afternoon tea is likely to be just a biscuit or small cake and a mug of tea,usually produced using a teabag.

答案解析

下午茶是由安娜在1840年创造出来的。安娜在下午四点钟左右常常会感到饥饿,而根据当时的风尚,直到晚上八点钟人们才开始吃晚餐,于是午餐和晚餐中间就有很长的一段时间。安娜就命人把茶、黄油面包和蛋糕在下午晚些时候送到她的房间里去吃。这成了她的一个习惯,而且她开始邀请好友共饮下午茶。自此之后,茶歇就成了一种社会潮流。在19世纪80年代,每到下午四点至五点,上层社会的女士们会穿上长裙,戴上手套和帽子前往休息室品用下午茶。传统的下午茶包括精选的三明治(当然也包括薄薄的黄瓜三明治),还有蛋糕和切片面包。然而,如今在大多数郊区居民的家中,下午茶更趋向于是简简单单的一块饼干,一小块蛋糕,以及一杯由茶包冲泡的茶。
