据结合国统计，目前世界上在使用的说话约有6000种。然而，“茶”的发音在多多说话中阐发出了惊人的一致。

除了极少数地域，全世界的“茶”只有两种发音，一种发音类似英语的“tea”，好比法语的“thé”、西语的“té”；另一种发音则类似“cha”，例如印地语中的“chai”、俄语的“чай（chai）”。

With very few exceptions, the chinese character "茶"(tea) is pronounced either in a way similar to the English "tea" (e.g., French "thé", and Spanish "té") or as something akin to "cha" (e.g., Hindi "???" pronounced as "chai", and Russian "чай" pronounced as "chai").

原来，古代茶叶一个方向沿着陆上丝绸之路流转，“cha”的发音广为流传，而另一个方向通过海上丝绸之路，闽南语茶“teh”的发音传入欧洲。

The reason dates back to ancient times when tea traveled along the Silk Road where the pronunciation "cha" became prevalent. The "teh" pronunciation — from coastal Fujian — found its way to Europe and beyond through the Maritime Silk Road.

茶叶，不再是单一的饮品，而是中西方业务往来的真实写照。

在“万里茶路”的起点福建武夷山下梅村，古代中国与他国已经跨海越陆的商贸盛况似乎呈此刻面前。

明末清初，茶从下梅村扬帆起航：向北，开启一段横跨广袤欧亚大陆的壮丽之旅；向南，到达忙乱的内江港口，沿着海上丝绸之路销往世界各地。

During the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, tea set sail from Xiamei village. To the north, it embarked on a magnificent journey across the vast Eurasian continent. To the south, it reached the bustling port of Fuzhou and continued its journey worldwide via the Maritime Silk Road.

如今，越来越多新式茶饮闯入年轻人的生涯，更有各类茶和咖啡的混搭饮品再三“出圈”，咖啡作为西方文化的一部门也逐步捕获中国人的味蕾。

菲律宾是一个咖啡出产国，对于菲律宾咖啡在中国的营销推广，菲律宾驻华大使吉米暗示：“下一步我们要进行数字化转型。我们急需基础设施项目、农业、互联互通项目，这些都在‘一带一路‘建议框架内。”

"Digitization is the next step. We need badly infrastructure projects, agriculture projects, interconnectivity projects and that falls into the BRI system," said Jaime FlorCruz, ambassador of the Philippines to China.

“一带一路”建议下的基建项目如雨后春笋般在世界各地拔地而起，构筑起一路路现代化的景致线。

2013年金秋，国度主席习近平提出了共建“一带一路”建议，为国际合作开启了新篇章。

十年来，“一带一路”建议已形成3000多个合作项目，拉动近万亿美元投资规模，为共建国度创造了近42万个工作岗位，让4000万人脱节穷困。

Over the past 10 years, the Belt and Road Initiative has generated more than 3,000 collaborative projects, involving investment of nearly $1 trillion. It has created nearly 420,000 jobs in the countries involved and helped pull 40 million people out of poverty.

“一带一路”合作，虽逾越山海之远，却在合作之路上汇聚着共同的愿景和指标。未来“一带一路」剽条繁华之路将会越走越宽大，共建列国也将收成越发丰硕的合作成就。
