英语拾零: cup of tea

Cup of tea可以指任务，话题，人，或任何让人感到合适的东西。它可以是任何你喜欢的人或事。1980年的一期《华盛顿时报》这样写到："If classics are your cup of tea, these unabridged recording of great books…are terrific."( 如果你爱好古典音乐，那么这些篇章完整的唱片将给你带来无比的享受。)

　　
否定表达式not (someone's) cup od tea 同样被普遍运用.表不喜欢或不擅长的事.

A: You didn't seem to enjoy the karaoke last night.
B:  I'm afraid I didn't. Karaoke isn't my cup of tea. I know a lot of people like it,
     But I've never liked singing in front of others. I'm embarrassed by it.
