    Tea remained unknown to the western world until the sixteenth century, / when European explorers who gaveled to China and other Far Eastern countries / returned with a host of new foods, spices, and beverages. / Very soon a thriving commerce in China teas was established. / In 1826 the Dutch established plantations on Java. / followed some ten years later by British, / who set up tea estates in India. / The production of tea has since spread rapidly. / Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen tropical and subtropical plant. / Black tea is produced by first allowing tea leaves to wither. / The leaves are fed through rolling machines to release the juices. / The rolled tea leaves are then placed in extremely humid rooms / and left to ferment. / Fermentation is stopped by drying the leaves over fires in pans, trays, or baskets, / a process that also seals in their final flavor. /
解析 由于近似音的干扰，听音时容易把句子“Fermentation is stopped by drying the leaves over fires in pans, trays, or baskets, a process that also seals in their final flavor."误听成“Fermentation is stopped by trying the leaves over fires in pans, trays, or baskets, a process that also seals in their final favor." 根据句中关键词fire(火)可推断应是drying(烘干)；根据上下文语义，烘干的茶叶需密封以保存茶叶的flavor(味道)，而不是favor(好感，宠爱，关切，欢心)。
