bHi honey! What’s wrong? Why do you have that look on your face?
亲爱的,怎么了?你脸上的表情怎么那么难看?
aWhat’s wrong? I thought we agreed that you were gonna quit smoking.
怎么了?我原以为你已经同意戒烟了。
bNo! I said I was going to cut down which is very different. You can’t just expect me to go cold turkey overnight!
不是,我是说少抽烟,那完全是另种意思。你不能期望我一夜间就戒烟。
aLook, there are other ways to quit. You can try the nicotine patch, or nicotine chewing gum. We spend a fortune on cigarettes every month and now laws are cracking down and not allowing smoking in any public place. It’s not like you can just light up like before.
bI know, I know. I am really trying, but I don’t have the willpower to just quit. I can’t fight with the urge to reach for my pack of smokes in the morning with coffee or after lunch! Please understand?
