Daisy和Kathy听说同事Johnny戒烟，很替他高兴。Kathy问Johnny是怎么戒的。bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

K: What's worked so far?bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

J: Well, for starters, I saw a doctor who specializes in helping people quit smoking. The doctor recommended a therapy group that meets twice a week.bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

D: So everyone in the group is trying to quit smoking?bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

J: yep...we were all in the same boat. We have a buddy system....if we need help, we call each other.bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

K: That's really great!bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

J: Also, the doctor recommended getting some exercise so I started doing some cycling. I could barely make it down the street for the first couple of days, but now I'm riding as much as 10 kilometers!bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

原来，Johnny专门找了个医生，指导他如何戒烟，医生建议他加入一个 therapy group 治疗小组，小组成员都是想戒烟的烟民，同病相怜，they were all in the same boat. in the same boat是一个很常用的短语，意思是处境相同。另外，医生还建议Johnny锻炼身体，骑自行车。bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

D: When you quit smoking you also have to change your lifestyle. I had to stop drinking too much beer, because when I drank, it made me want to smoke. I started eating more fruits and vegetables and I cut down on red meat.bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

K: Yeah, that makes sense. Change your diet...change your lifestyle...start a new you!bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

J: So far the toughest time is when I'm hanging out with friends in clubs, bars or KTVs.bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

D: I guess you'll just have to chew a lot of gum.bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

J: Yeah...the doctor told me to keep my mouth and hands busy! Chew gum, drink water, whistle, draw, hold a pencil...just try to distract my mind.bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

Daisy说，戒烟的一部分是要改变生活习惯，比如他自己，原来爱喝啤酒，一喝啤酒就自然而然地想抽烟，所以为了戒烟他索性连酒也少喝了，开始多吃蔬菜水果，并且 cut down on red meat. 少吃红肉。to cut down on something 是减少的意思，red meat 红肉，包括猪肉，牛肉，羊肉等，跟 red meat 相对的是鸡肉和鱼肉等 white meat. Johnny说，最痛苦的时候是跟朋友到夜总会和酒吧那种地方去，周围抽烟喝酒的人太多，诱惑太大，医生曾建议他，不要让自己的嘴和手闲着，嚼口香糖，喝水，吹口哨，或者干脆手里拿根笔，都行。bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

K: I applaud your efforts to quit! I'm sure you'll be much happier in the long run.bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

D: Yeah...a couple of years from now, you look back and wonder how you could've ever been a smoker!bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

J: I hope so...because it's been pretty tough.bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

D: Don't worry; there is a light at the end of the tunnel!bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

K: Keep up the good work!bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

J: Thanks, guys!bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

最后，Kathy 和Daisy都鼓励Johnny一定要坚持，Daisy说，there is a light at the end of the tunnel. 隧道尽头能看到光明，类似中文里说的曙光就在前面。bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

A: Nice! 原来，Johnny 和与他同病相怜的人建立了一个buddy system, 兄弟互助系统，每次想抽烟的时候就互相鼓励；他还cut down on red meat, 减少红肉的摄取量，而且keep his mouth and hands busy, 随时都不让自己的嘴和手闲着。bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司

B: Those are really good pointers for quitting smoking. For some people, quitting requires a lot of effort, but for others, they can quit cold turkey! 一下子就戒掉了!bzw开封翻译公司-忠信乐译翻译有限公司
