Todd: So Al, I must congratulate you, I hear you no longer smoke.

託德:艾爾,我要祝賀你,我聽說你戒菸了。

Al: That's true, I'm now, six months ago I stopped smoking.

艾爾:沒錯,我六個月前戒菸了。

Todd: Good man. So how did you do it?

託德:真好。你是怎麼做到的?

Al: I just, I went out and I had the best New Year's Eve I've ever had in my life, where I went to a music party, a club, and I smoked and drank as much as I wanted for about 12 hours. I finally left at 9 in the morning on New Year's Day, my lungs dry and and then decided I'm never going to do this and stopped.

艾爾:我度過了我一生中最棒的新年前夕,我去一個俱樂部參加了一個音樂派對,大概12個小時我一直在吸菸和喝酒。我在新年那天上午9點離開了那個派對,當時我的肺非常乾燥,然後我就決定我再也不要吸菸了,所以我戒菸了。

Todd: Wow, I mean, you must have had, you know, addictions, you must have wanted to have a cigarette a couple days later.

託德:哇,你以前一定有煙癮,幾天以後你一定很想再抽根菸。

Al: You know, I've stopped smoking several times and had very bad cravings before, and this time it was, a couple of times I felt like I might like one, but no, I didn't have any nicotine cravings. I was ready this time I think.

艾爾:你知道,我曾有過數次戒菸的經歷,我以前的煙癮非常嚴重,這次戒菸有幾次我都覺得擺脫不了煙癮,可是我已經不再對尼古丁上癮了。我想這次我真的準備好了。

Todd: So you just think where your body reaches a point where you can take no more.

託德:你認爲你的身體到了承受不了的地步了嗎?

Al: Yeah definitely, and your mind reaches a point where you're sickened by your own disgusting behavior.

艾爾:絕對是,你的思維也受夠了你糟糕的行爲習慣。

Todd: Right, so what do you think about smoking now?

託德:好,那你現在怎麼看吸菸這件事?

Al: I hate it. I'm completely, I'm totally anti-smoking, and I used to be very liberal about people's rights to smoke and now I think it should be completely. It should be illegal to buy tobacco.

艾爾:我討厭吸菸。我現在完全反對吸菸,以前我理解並尊重人們吸菸的權力,但是現在我認爲應該完全禁菸。我認爲購買菸草是非法的。

Todd: Wow, they should just make it illegal.

託德:哇,他們應該規定這是違法行爲。

Al: Make it illegal. It kills people.

艾爾:對,應該規定。菸草會使人致死。

Todd: So what is your message to smoker? If someone out there is smoking today, they're a smoker, they want to quit, what's your message to them?

託德:那你要對菸民說什麼?如果今天你看到有人吸菸,他們是菸民,他們想戒菸,你會對他們說什麼?

Al: I read a really good, I'm reading a really cool book at the moment about therapy and in one of these stories in this book one guy says, imagine you have a pet dog, and you love this pet dog, and the pet dog is your body, now would you give poisoned, say you went to the pet store and you saw these cans of dog food with a poison mark on them, poisoned flavored dog food containing poison, would you buy that poison dog food and feed it to your dog? No, you wouldn't. That's exactly what you're doing to your body when you smoke. You're deliberately poisoning yourself so stop it.

艾爾:我現在在看一本有關治療的非常棒的書,書中有一個故事,一個人說想象一下你有一隻寵物狗,你很愛這隻狗,其實這隻狗就像你的身體一樣,如果你去寵物店你看到這種標有有毒物質的狗罐頭,狗糧的配料中含有毒物,你會買那種含有毒物的狗糧餵你的狗嗎?顯然你不會。而這其實就是你在吸菸時對你身體做的事情。你這是在毒害自己,你應該停止這種行爲。

Todd: Well, good message and so for all of you people out there who are smoking, STOP!

託德:很好的訊息,那些還在吸菸的人,請你們戒菸吧!
