读了一篇题为《吸烟与你的健康》的文章之后，我点上一支烟来平静情绪。
After reading an article entitled 'Cigarette Smoking and Your Health' I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves.
我全神贯注、津津有味地抽着，因为我确信这将是我最后一支烟。
I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last cigarette.
整整一周我完全没有抽烟，在这段时间里，我妻子深受其苦。
For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time my wife suffered terribly.
我有所有戒烟者常见的症状：坏脾气和极大的食欲。
I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite.
我的朋友们不断地向我递烟和雪茄。
My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars.
每当我从口袋里掏出一包糖果，他们就毫不掩饰地嘲笑我。
They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket.
就这样过了七天之后，我去参加了一个聚会。
After seven days of this I went to a party.
我周围的每个人都在抽烟，我感到极度不舒服。
Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely uncomfortable.
当我的老朋友布莱恩力劝我接受一支香烟时，这已经超出了我所能忍受的限度。
When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear.
我愧疚地接过一支，点上，心满意足地抽了起来。
I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction.
我妻子很高兴一切又恢复了正常。
My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more.
不管怎么说，正如布莱恩所指出的，戒烟是世界上最容易的事。
Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking.
他自己就已经戒过很多次了！
He himself has done it lots of times!
