一、英譯中（30 分） Taiwanese tea has a history dating back to the 18th century. Traditional tea drinking emphasizes hot brewing and the use of various utensils, which led to it being called “old men’s tea,” implying that only the elderly had the time to savor it. In the late 20th century, Taiwan’s tea culture saw a new development with the emergence of bubble tea, a hand-shaken iced tea combined with tapioca pearls, quickly gaining popularity among younger generations as a trendy beverage. Bubble tea retained elements of traditional Taiwanese tea while adding creativity and fun, making it more appealing to modern youth. Since the 1990s, the trend has spread beyond Taiwan, first to neighboring Asian countries and then globally. With its customizable nature, bubble tea has been widely embraced around the world. It also becomes a recognizable symbol of Taiwanese culture, and has secured a strong presence on the global stage.
