Cup of tea可以指任務,話題,人,或任何讓人感到合適的東西。它可以是任何你喜歡的人或事。1980年的一期《華盛頓時報》這樣寫到:"If classics are your cup of tea, these unabridged recording of great books…are terrific."( 如果你愛好古典音樂,那麽這些篇章完整的唱片將給你帶來無比的享受。)
否定表達式not (someone's) cup od tea 同樣被普遍運用.表不喜歡或不擅長的事.
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.
