為什么戒酒？你為什么覺(jué)得最好戒酒或者說(shuō)戒掉酒精

今天的這段對(duì)話(huà)，在討論戒酒，
 
為什么戒酒？你為什么覺(jué)得最好戒酒或者說(shuō)戒掉酒精
 
來(lái)聽(tīng)今天的講解:
 
A: So, Al, you mentioned that you quit smoking.
 
艾爾，你說(shuō)過(guò)你戒煙了。
 
B: Yes, I did.
 
對(duì)，我戒煙了。
 
A: Now, I also heard that you quit drinking.
 
我聽(tīng)說(shuō)你也戒酒了。
 
B: I did. Almost, about one week after I quit smoking, I quit drinking.
 
對(duì)。在我戒煙后一周期我也戒酒了。
 
A: Wow! No more? No beer? No wine with dinner?
 
哇！你不再喝酒了？也不喝啤酒？晚餐也不搭配葡萄酒了？
 
B: No.
 
對(duì)。
 
A: Nothing?
 
什么酒都不喝了？
 
B: No.
 
對(duì)。
 
A: Never?
 
不喝了？
 
B: Nothing, never.
 
對(duì)，什么酒都不喝了。
 
A: Have you even had a little bit since you quit?
 
你戒酒后有沒(méi)有喝過(guò)一點(diǎn)酒？
 
B: No, I can't have a little bit. It's all or nothing for me so.
 
沒(méi)有，我一點(diǎn)兒也不能喝。對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，我要么徹底戒酒，要么就不戒。
 
A: Wow!
 
哇！
 
B: Yeah, nothing at all.
 
對(duì)，所以我一點(diǎn)兒酒都不喝了。
 
A: That's pretty tough to do. Well, I mean, you seem pretty happy, I mean.
 
做到這點(diǎn)很難。不過(guò)你看上去很快樂(lè)。
 
B: I'm very happy.
 
我非?？鞓?lè)。
 
A: OK. So what, why did you stop drinking? Why do you think it's better not to drink any alcohol?
 
好，那你為什么戒酒？你為什么覺(jué)得最好戒酒或者說(shuō)戒掉酒精？
 
B: I don't, I mean, I'm not against drinking the way I am against smoking. I knew that for me it was the best thing to do because drinking is getting in the way of other things I wanted to do with my life.
 
我戒酒的理由與戒煙不一樣。我知道對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)最好的辦法就是戒酒，因?yàn)楹染谱璧K了我想奉獻(xiàn)一生去做的事情。
 
A: Right.
 
好。
 
B: So, and I didn't really, I drank a lot and I didn't enjoy it anymore.
 
我沒(méi)有……我以前喝很多酒，我不再享受了。
 
A: Yeah.
 
好。
 
B: That was the thing.
 
事情就是這樣。
 
A: Actually, I have to feel a little bit the same way. I'm a social drinker. I only drink when I'm with friends and I really don't like drinking because I don't like how it makes me feel afterwards, like if I have a glass of wine or beer, I can't work afterwards and that bothers me but its nice to have a glass of wine with a good meal.
 
其實(shí)我也有差不多的想法。我會(huì)在社交場(chǎng)合喝酒。我只在和朋友在一起的時(shí)候喝酒，我真的不喜歡喝酒，因?yàn)槲也幌矚g酒精給我?guī)?lái)的感覺(jué)，如果我喝一杯葡萄酒或啤酒，我之后就不能工作了，這令我很困擾，不過(guò)享用美食時(shí)搭配一杯葡萄酒還是不錯(cuò)的。
 
B: It is. Yes. There are things I miss about it but there are so many other good things that I've got from not drinking so I look at the balance and the sacrifice and for me it's worth it, not to drink. I can give up a glass of wine with dinner if get the other things I've got from it, so.
 
沒(méi)錯(cuò)。這是我會(huì)懷念的事情，不過(guò)不喝酒我能享受到更多好事，所以我平衡了一下，我覺(jué)得戒酒這種犧牲很值得。如果我戒酒能有所收獲那我愿意放棄晚餐享用葡萄酒。
 
A: Well, do you feel healthier? Does you body feel better?
 
你覺(jué)得這樣更健康嗎？你的身體感覺(jué)更好了嗎？
 
B: I feel much healthier. I feel much more focused. My thinking is much clearer, and I like, I still go to bars and hang out with people and they drink and I don't and I go home, I love leaving a bar when I'm still sober. I love that feeling. I don't know why it's a fantastic feeling.
 
我覺(jué)得這樣健康多了。而且讓我更專(zhuān)注。我的思維更清晰，我依然會(huì)和朋友們一起去酒吧，他們喝酒而我不喝，我喜歡在離開(kāi)酒吧回家的時(shí)候依然清醒的那種感覺(jué)。我喜歡這種感覺(jué)。不過(guò)我不知道為什么這種感覺(jué)這么棒。
 
A: Well, sounds like something maybe I should consider. Thanks Al.
 
聽(tīng)起來(lái)我也應(yīng)該考慮一下戒酒。謝謝你，艾爾。
