You say "Hey, would you like a cup of tea?"

讓我們先把問題換成 「請問你想喝杯茶嗎？」

And they go, "Oh my god, I would LOVE a cup of tea! Thank you!"

而他說「當然好啊！謝謝你」

Then you know they want a cup of tea.

那麼你就知道，他確實想喝茶。

If you say, "Hey, would you like a cup of tea?" and they're like "Um... you know, I'm not really sure…"

同樣問題「請問你想喝杯茶嗎？」而他的反應是「嗯...不太確定耶...」

then you can make them a cup of tea, or not, but be aware they might not drink it.

那麼你就能泡杯茶，不泡茶也行，但切記：他並不一定會喝。

And if they don't drink it then – and this is the important part –  don't make them drink it.

如果他不喝的話... 重點來了！別逼人家喝茶！

Just because you made it doesn't mean you are entitled to watch them drink it.

就算你已經泡好茶了並不代表別人非喝不可。

And If they say, "No, thank you," then don't make them tea. At all.

若他說「不用了，謝謝」那就別泡茶。不用。

Just don't make them tea. Don't make them drink tea, don't get annoyed at them for not wanting tea.

別泡茶就對了。不用逼他喝茶、他不喝茶也別對人家發火。

They just don't want tea, OK?

啊他就不想喝茶啊，行嗎？

They might say "Yes, please, that's kind of you" and then when the tea arrives, they actually don't want the tea at all.

也許有人會說「好啊，你人真好」結果當你泡好茶後，他又突然不想喝茶了。

Sure, that's kind of annoying as you've gone to all the effort of making the tea, but they remain under no obligation to drink the tea.

這蠻惱人的，畢竟你已經大費周章泡好茶了，但請記住，他沒有義務要喝茶。

They did want tea, now they don't.

人家原本想喝，又突然不想了。

Some people change their mind in the time that it takes to boil that kettle, brew the tea and add the milk.

也許在你燒開水、沖茶葉、加牛奶時，他改變主意了。

And it's okay for people to change their mind, and you are still not entitled to watch them drink it.

改變主意沒什麼大不了吧！你終究沒有權利逼人家喝茶。

And If they are unconscious, don't make them tea.

如果他意識不清，就別泡茶了。

Unconscious people don't want tea and they can't answer the question "Do you want tea?" because they're are unconscious.

這種情況沒人想喝茶，也無法回答「你要不要喝茶」這種問題，因為他早就失去意識了。

Ok, maybe they were conscious when you asked them if they wanted tea, and they said yes,

好吧，或許你之前問他時，他仍有意識而他也說好，

but in the time it took you to boil the kettle, brew the tea and add the milk, they are now unconscious.

但在你準備的時候燒開水、沖茶葉、加牛奶 一回頭他就失去意識了。

You should just put the tea down.

請把茶放下，

Make sure the unconscious person is safe, and this is the important part again – don't make them drink the tea.

確保昏迷的人是安全的。而重點又來了：不要逼人家喝茶！

They said yes then, sure, but unconscious people don't want tea.

雖然他之前說好，但失去意識的人不會想喝茶。

If someone said yes to tea, started drinking it, and then passed out before they'd finished it, don't keep on pouring it down their throat.

若某人想喝茶，喝一喝後然後昏了過去，茶也沒喝完，別往人家喉嚨裡灌茶。

Take the tea away. Make sure they're safe. Because unconscious people don't want tea.

把茶拿開，確保他的安全，因為意識不清的人不想喝茶。

Trust me on this.

相信我，

If someone said "yes" to tea around your house last Saturday, that doesn't mean that they want you to make them tea all the time.

就算上週末有人來你家喝茶，也不代表他想天天都想找你喝茶。

They don't want you to come around at their place unexpectedly and make them tea and force them to drink it going, "BUT YOU WANTED TEA LAST WEEK",

沒人喜歡突然有人來家裡泡茶甚至逼他喝茶，還說「但你上週有喝茶啊。」

or to wake up to find you pouring tea down their throat going, "BUT YOU WANTED TEA LAST NIGHT".

或一覺醒來，發現你朝他的喉嚨灌茶，還一邊說「但你昨晚很想喝茶啊。」

If you can understand how completely ludicrous it is to force people to have tea when they don't want tea and you are able to understand when people don't want tea,

如果你能理解以上行為有多麼可笑，而你也能判斷他人是否想喝茶，

then how hard is it to understand it when it comes to sex?

我們現在把「喝茶」換回「性交」就好懂了吧？

Whether it's tea or sex, consent is everything.

不管是「喝茶」還是「性交」，取得同意就是一切。

And on that note, I am going to make myself a cup of tea.

說得我都口渴了，我要去泡杯茶來喝了。
