实战口语情景对话 第515期:Smoking 戒烟

Todd: So Al, I must congratulate you, I hear you no longer smoke.
托德：艾尔，我要祝贺你，我听说你戒烟了。

Al: That's true, I'm now, six months ago I stopped smoking.
艾尔：没错，我六个月前戒烟了。

Todd: Good man. So how did you do it?
托德：真好。你是怎么做到的？

Al: I just, I went out and I had the best New Year's Eve I've ever had in my life, where I went to a music party, a club, and I smoked and drank as much as I wanted for about 12 hours. I finally left at 9 in the morning on New Year's Day, my lungs dry and and then decided I'm never going to do this and stopped.
艾尔：我度过了我一生中最棒的新年前夕，我去一个俱乐部参加了一个音乐派对，大概12个小时我一直在吸烟和喝酒。我在新年那天上午9点离开了那个派对，当时我的肺非常干燥，然后我就决定我再也不要吸烟了，所以我戒烟了。

Todd: Wow, I mean, you must have had, you know, addictions, you must have wanted to have a cigarette a couple days later.
托德：哇，你以前一定有烟瘾，几天以后你一定很想再抽根烟。

Al: You know, I've stopped smoking several times and had very bad cravings before, and this time it was, a couple of times I felt like I might like one, but no, I didn't have any nicotine cravings. I was ready this time I think.
艾尔：你知道，我曾有过数次戒烟的经历，我以前的烟瘾非常严重，这次戒烟有几次我都觉得摆脱不了烟瘾，可是我已经不再对尼古丁上瘾了。我想这次我真的准备好了。

Todd: So you just think where your body reaches a point where you can take no more.
托德：你认为你的身体到了承受不了的地步了吗？

Al: Yeah definitely, and your mind reaches a point where you're sickened by your own disgusting behavior.
艾尔：绝对是，你的思维也受够了你糟糕的行为习惯。

Todd: Right, so what do you think about smoking now?
托德：好，那你现在怎么看吸烟这件事？

Al: I hate it. I'm completely, I'm totally anti-smoking, and I used to be very liberal about people's rights to smoke and now I think it should be completely. It should be illegal to buy tobacco.
艾尔：我讨厌吸烟。我现在完全反对吸烟，以前我理解并尊重人们吸烟的权力，但是现在我认为应该完全禁烟。我认为购买烟草是非法的。

Todd: Wow, they should just make it illegal.
托德：哇，他们应该规定这是违法行为。

Al: Make it illegal. It kills people.
艾尔：对，应该规定。烟草会使人致死。

Todd: So what is your message to smoker? If someone out there is smoking today, they're a smoker, they want to quit, what's your message to them?
托德：那你要对烟民说什么？如果今天你看到有人吸烟，他们是烟民，他们想戒烟，你会对他们说什么？

Al: I read a really good, I'm reading a really cool book at the moment about therapy and in one of these stories in this book one guy says, imagine you have a pet dog, and you love this pet dog, and the pet dog is your body, now would you give poisoned, say you went to the pet store and you saw these cans of dog food with a poison mark on them, poisoned flavored dog food containing poison, would you buy that poison dog food and feed it to your dog? No, you wouldn't. That's exactly what you're doing to your body when you smoke. You're deliberately poisoning yourself so stop it.
艾尔：我现在在看一本有关治疗的非常棒的书，书中有一个故事，一个人说想象一下你有一只宠物狗，你很爱这只狗，其实这只狗就像你的身体一样，如果你去宠物店你看到这种标有有毒物质的狗罐头，狗粮的配料中含有毒物，你会买那种含有毒物的狗粮喂你的狗吗？显然你不会。而这其实就是你在吸烟时对你身体做的事情。你这是在毒害自己，你应该停止这种行为。

Todd: Well, good message and so for all of you people out there who are smoking, STOP!
托德：很好的讯息，那些还在吸烟的人，请你们戒烟吧！
