本课您将学到：kill（杀人？）Its not that big of a deal!（没什么大不了！） 今天接着讨论关于吸烟的话题。 上次说到青年人吸烟的两个主要原因，一个是peer pressure，另一个是advertisement.其实，还有一个原因也很重要，那就是家庭的影响。 Macy comes home and finds her little brother Greg sitting in the kitchen looking guilty. Macy: Why does it reek of smoke in here? Greg: ErI was cooking some eggs and Macy: Dont lie（说谎） to me. You were smoking, werent you? Greg: I just had a few puffs, and I didnt even like it. Macy: Good. Dad would kill you if you started smoking. Greg: Who do you think I got the cigarette from? 啊哈，原来是Dad干的好事！没办法，姐姐只好改口： Macy: But smoking is for adults（成年人）. Greg: Its not that big of a deal! Everyone at school smokes. Macy: And if everyone at school decided to jump off a bridge（桥）, would you join them? 姐弟俩的对话，总是会不知不觉变成抬杠，呵呵 Greg: Well, what do you want me to do? My two best friends smoke, and when I dont join them, they laugh at me. Macy: I know all about peer pressure. Its just not worth it to give in. |
