地道美語聽力播客852: 戒煙

麗薩：就是這樣了。我已經(jīng)戒煙好長時間了。

Michael: Good for you. Are you going cold turkey?

邁克爾：祝你好運咯!你打算戒煙嗎?

Lisa: No, I tried that, but it didn’t work. I craved cigarettes too much.

麗薩：不，我曾經(jīng)試過，但是沒有什么效果。我太渴望吸煙了。

Michael: How about nicotine gum? Have you tried that?

邁克爾：尼古丁橡膠怎么樣?試過了嗎?

Lisa: Yes, but I didn’t like the side effects. It irritated my throat.

麗薩：試過了，但是我不喜歡它的副作用。它讓我嗓子生疼。

Michael: That’s too bad. I suppose you’ve tried nicotine patches, too?

邁克爾：那太糟了。我想你也試過尼古丁碎片了吧?

Lisa: Yes, I have. I became addicted to the patches and couldn’t wean myself off of them. I just traded one addiction for another.

麗薩：嗯，我試過了。但是我會對碎片上癮，不能使自己離開它。我只是從一種上癮換到對另一種煙上癮。

Michael: And electronic cigarettes?

邁克爾：試過電子煙了嗎?

Lisa: They only made me want to smoke a real cigarette. They were no help at all.

麗薩：它們只會讓我想吸真煙。根本不管用。

Michael: So, what now?

邁克爾：那，現(xiàn)在打算怎么辦：

Lisa: I’m going to try hypnosis. I hear that it works for some people.

麗薩：我打算試試催眠療法。我聽說好多人都說管用。

Michael: And if that doesn’t work?

邁克爾：如果那個也不管用呢?

Lisa: The last resort is acupuncture. Some people say that’s effective for quitting smoking.

麗薩：最后的辦法就是針灸了。一些人說這對戒煙療效很好。

Michael: If you say so. Sometimes the cure is truly worse than the disease!

邁克爾：好吧，你要是覺得好就行。有時候治療反而更加重病情。
