【課文】
After reading an article entitled‘Cigarette Smoking and Your Health’I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves. I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette. For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time, my wife suffered terribly. I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite. My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars. They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket. After seven days of this I went to a party. Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely uncomfortable. When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear. I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction. My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more. Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking. He himself has done it lots of times!
讀完一篇題為《吸煙與健康》的文章后,我點燃了一支香煙來平復緊張的神經(jīng)。我全神貫注、心滿意足地抽著,確信這將是我最后一支煙。整整一周,我完全沒有吸煙,這期間,我的妻子苦不堪言。我出現(xiàn)了戒煙者通常會出現(xiàn)的所有癥狀:脾氣暴躁,食欲大增。朋友們不停地向我遞煙和雪茄。每當我從口袋里掏出一包糖果時,他們都毫不掩飾地取笑我。就這樣過了七天,我去參加了一個聚會。周圍的人都在抽煙,我感到極度不適。當我的老朋友布賴恩竭力勸我再抽一支煙時,我實在忍不住了。我懷著愧疚之心接過來,點燃后心滿意足地抽了起來。我的妻子很高興一切又恢復了正常。不管怎樣,正如布賴恩指出的那樣,戒煙是世界上最容易的事。他自己就戒過好多次!
