B: So what are you going to do? Take up an art class or something?
那你打算做些什么?参加艺术班还是其他的事情?
A: Well, first of all, I've decided to stop smoking. It's not that I'm pinching pennies or anything. It's just that I've been smoking since I was sixteen and I think it's time to stop.
首先,我决定戒烟。并不是因为我想省钱或是别的。而且我从16岁开始抽烟,我想是时候戒烟了。
