茶受到全世界人民的喜爱。

Tea is beloved by people all over the world.

绿茶和红茶都是由茶叶制成的。

Both green and black tea are made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant.

两者的关键区别在于红茶是发酵的，而绿茶不是。

The key difference between the two is that black tea is fermented and green tea is not.

制作红茶时，先将茶叶揉捻，然后暴露在空气体中，促进其发酵。这种反应会使茶叶变成深棕色，使茶的味道更浓。

To make black tea, the leaves are first rolled and then exposed to air to trigger the fermentation process. This reaction causes the leaves to turn dark brown and allows the flavors to heighten and intensify.

另一方面，用锅炒绿茶可以防止其发酵，所以绿茶的颜色比红茶淡很多。

On the other hand, green tea is pan-fried to prevent fermentation and thus is much lighter in color than black tea.

虽然绿茶不同于红茶，但它们可能提供一些相同的健康益处。

While green and black tea differ, they may provide some of the same health benefits.

绿茶和红茶富含多酚抗氧化剂。更具体地说，它们都含有一种多酚-类黄酮。人们认为绿茶和红茶中的黄酮类化合物可以保护心脏。

Both green and black tea are rich in a group of protective antioxidants called polyphenols. Even more specifically, they both contain flavonoids, a subgroup of polyphenols. The flavonoids in both green and black tea are thought to protect your heart.

绿茶和红茶都含有咖啡因，一种已知的兴奋剂。

And green and black tea both contain caffeine, a known stimulant.

绿茶比红茶含有较少的咖啡因。一杯8盎司(230毫升)的绿茶含有大约35毫克咖啡因，而同样一杯红茶含有39-109毫克咖啡因。

Green tea contains less caffeine than black tea — about 35 mg of caffeine per 8-oz (230-ml) cup for green tea, compared to 39–109 mg for the same serving of black tea.

咖啡因通过阻断抑制性神经递质腺苷来刺激神经系统。它还有助于释放提升情绪的神经递质，如多巴胺和血清素。

Caffeine stimulates your nervous system by blocking the inhibitory neurotransmitter adenosine. It also aids the release of mood-enhancing neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin.

接下来，我们来说说他们的区别。

Now the difference.

绿茶含有EGCG(绿茶提取物)，这是一种抗氧化剂。在试管和动物实验中已经证明，它可以抗癌和抵抗细菌细胞，保护大脑和肝脏。

Green tea contains EGCG, an antioxidant which in test-tube and animal studies has been shown to fight cancer and bacterial cells and protect both your brain and liver.

而红茶含有有益的茶黄素。茶黄素是一种多酚，是红茶特有的。通过抗氧化，它们可以改善血管功能，促进减脂。

But black tea contains beneficial theaflavins. Theaflavins are a group of polyphenols that are unique to black tea. Theaflavins are unique to black tea. Through their antioxidant effects, they may improve blood vessel function and support fat loss.

所以绿茶和红茶对心脏和大脑有相似的健康益处。它们的抗氧化性能不同。虽然绿茶可能含有更强的抗氧化剂，但没有科学证据表明一种茶比另一种茶好得多。

So green and black tea have similar health benefits, including for your heart and brain. Their antioxidant profiles differ, but while green tea may have more powerful antioxidants, scientific evidence does not strongly favor one tea over the other.
