【课文】

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!

读完一篇题为《吸烟与健康》的文章后，我点燃了一支香烟来平复紧张的神经。我全神贯注、心满意足地抽着，确信这将是我最后一支烟。整整一周，我完全没有吸烟，这期间，我的妻子苦不堪言。我出现了戒烟者通常会出现的所有症状：脾气暴躁，食欲大增。朋友们不停地向我递烟和雪茄。每当我从口袋里掏出一包糖果时，他们都毫不掩饰地取笑我。就这样过了七天，我去参加了一个聚会。周围的人都在抽烟，我感到极度不适。当我的老朋友布赖恩竭力劝我再抽一支烟时，我实在忍不住了。我怀着愧疚之心接过来，点燃后心满意足地抽了起来。我的妻子很高兴一切又恢复了正常。不管怎样，正如布赖恩指出的那样，戒烟是世界上最容易的事。他自己就戒过好多次！
