    Updating Time:2006-9-20 11:25:22
    A:Shawn,how long have you been in China?

      Shawn,你来中国多久了?

      B:A bit over 4 months,I guess.

      四个多月了,我想

      A:Have you noticed any difference between Chinese and Canadian?

      有没有注意到中国人和加拿大人不一样的地方

      B:A lot.But ther's one thing that's really unique about Chinese.I mean Chinese people like to offer me smokes.

      有很多,但有一件事儿挺特别的。中国人总给我第烟

      A:Is there anything wrong with that?

      有什么不对吗?

      B:Nothing,I mean in Cnanda,smokes are like $4 to $5,which is like 20 or 25 kuai in China.So people don't bum smokes off of other people.

      没什么不对的。我是说在加拿大,烟特别贵。大约四五块。合人民币二十到二十五块。所以人们通常不会要烟抽

      A:Then what do people do if they really wanna smoke?

      那要是人们特想抽呢/

      B:Well it depends.As for me. I would ask my friends for a drag,which means I take their cigarette and smoke it.Then I return it back .

      那得看情况而定了。对我来说,我会借来抽几口,然后在还回去。

      A:Why don't you just bum a cigarette?

      你怎么不干脆要一棵抽呢?

      B:I don't wanna be called social smokers.

      我可不想被叫为social smoker

      A:What does that mean?

      那是什么意思?

      B:A social smoker is a person who smokes only when his friends smoke.Sometimes we call those people a mooch.

      social smoker就是那种自己不带烟,专门向别人要烟抽的那种人

      A:Where does smoking get you ?

      吸烟究竟有什么好处?

      B:Nothing but bad breath and lung cancer.

      除了口臭和肺癌之外没什么

      A:[Chuckles]Funny smokers.

      [笑]可笑的烟民啊

      Attention Please…特别提醒

      [你可以请外教反复帮你模仿/训练下面句子/词组的正宗美式发音]

      [1]bum是一个多义词,这句话里的bum表示'要'。所以如果你是烟民的话,想向老外们要烟时就可以说Could I bum a smoke?

      [2]drag的意思是连吸几口,老外们如果不好意思向朋友们要烟抽,他们就会说Can I have a drag?

      [3]social smoker是指自己不带烟,专门向朋友们要烟抽的那种人。类似的说法还有social drinker,当然就是指专门向朋友们要酒喝的那种人了。

      以下这些词汇并未给出汉语意思,你可以用我们学到的英语问问外教它们的意思

      [ie:What does "***" mean? "***"是什么意思?]
