真的坐下來喝茶的那場聚會
核心畫面本身,以及小朋友把它整套搬進遊戲裡的版本。
noun · B1
A small, fairly polite party held in the afternoon, where tea is served with cake, biscuits, small sandwiches or other light food.
午後茶會
Picture an afternoon, a low table, a pot of tea and a plate of small cakes, with four or five people sitting round it. Nobody shouts, nobody is in a hurry, and everyone passes things carefully and says thank you. It lasts an hour or two and is over before dinner. That gentle, careful hour is the whole of the word. Children copy it with empty cups, and grown-ups hold it up as the picture of an easy afternoon, so that they can point at a hard job and say it is not this.

If something is no tea party, it is very hard or unpleasant to do; the expression is used to say that a job will be tough, not gentle or easy.
可不輕鬆、不好受
