【Text】
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 amument whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket. After ven 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 himlf has done it lots of times!

非洲大陆【课⽂翻译】
读完⼀篇题为《吸烟与健康》的⽂章之后，我点上了⼀枝⾹烟，来镇定⼀下⾃⼰紧张的神经。我聚精会神⽽⼜愉快地吸着这⽀烟。因为我确信这是我最后⼀枝烟了。整整⼀个星期我根本没有吸烟。在此期间，我妻⼦吃尽了苦头。我具备了戒烟者通常表现出来的所有症状：脾⽓暴躁和⾷欲旺盛。我的朋友们不断地向我递⾹烟和雪茄。每当我从⼝袋⾥掏出⼀包糖果时，他们都毫不掩饰地表现出他们对此感到⾮常好笑。这样过了7天以后，我去参加⼀次聚会。我周围的每个⼈都在吸烟，我感到⾮常不⾃在。当我的⽼朋友布赖恩极⼒劝我接受⼀枝⾹烟时，我再也忍不住了。我内疚地接过⼀枝点上，⼼满意⾜地抽起来。⼀切⼜都恢复了正常，为此我妻⼦⼗分⾼兴。不管怎么说，正如布赖恩指出的那样，戒烟是世界上最容易的事情，他⾃⼰就已戒了很多次了!
