莈 mow, grass Explanation: Nigel, I checked the dictionaries and the word 「莈」doesn't seem to exist. However, the word 「芟 」does and it means mow or grass. I hope this helps. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs 12 mins (2005-08-30 15:06:28 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry for not being able to help, Nigel. |

It just means "tea". Explanation: It just means "tea". 举世公认的最佳饮料──中国茶 茶叶、咖啡和可可,是举世公认的三大最佳饮料。中国是茶树的原产地,也是世界上发现和应用茶叶最早的国家。中国劳动人民在栽培、应用、加工茶叶方面有丰富的经验。中国的茶叶一向以品质优良、种类繁多著称于世。现在世界上各产茶国家,都直接或间接从中国引种过茶树或茶籽。因此,各国现代语中的“茶”字,都是由中国“茶”字的广东音或厦门音音译而成的。.茶在古代称茶,又有槚、莈、茗、荈、瓜芦、皋芦等名。大约唐朝才出现“茶”字。唐朝陆羽编写世界上第一部茶叶专著──《茶经》时,认为有必要统一名称,便采用了“茶”字,从此固定下来。 Reference: http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:Tm58GqBX50AJ:www.pep.co... |
