【常春藤解析英語】Why Every Cup Needs Its Saucer

【常春藤解析英語】Why Every Cup Needs Its Saucer(茶碟)

In northern Europe, some drinkers would place a lump of sugar between their teeth and drink coffee from the saucer._3_ This method was thought to bring out subtle flavors and aroma.

(A) As a result, the practice of drinking from the saucer gradually declined.

(B) This innovation also made cups easier to stack and transport in growing urban markets.

(C) Though beautiful, these vessels were thin and could become too hot to hold comfortably.

(D) This allowed the liquid to pass over the sugar before reaching the mouth, instantly adding sweetness to every sip.

(E) It was even considered more polite to sip from the saucer than to drink directly from the cup while the liquid was still hot.
