whichIamgratful.為女兒抽煙而哭泣Para.1a我女兒抽煙。她做作業(yè)時，腳擱在前面的長凳上，計(jì)算器嗒嗒地跳出幾何題的答案。我看著那包已抽了一半、她隨意扔在手邊的“駱駝〞牌香煙。我拿起香煙，走到廚房里去仔細(xì)觀察，那里的光線好一點(diǎn)——謝天謝地，香煙是有過濾嘴的。Para.1b

Irememberthebright-redtobaccotin,withapictureofQueenVictoria’spartner,PrinceAlbert,dressedinablackdresscoatandcarryingacane.詞匯學(xué)習(xí)課文分析隨筆Para.2b我還記得那鮮紅的煙絲盒，上面有一張維多利亞女王丈夫阿爾伯特親王的照片，他身穿黑色燕尾服，手里拿著一支手杖。Para.3aBythelatefortiesandearlyfiftiesnoonerolledhisownanymore(andfewwomensmoked)inmyhometownofEatonton,Georgia.Thetobaccoindustry,coupledwithHollywoodmoviesinwhichbothmaleandfemaleheroessmokedlikechimneys,completelywonoverpeoplelikemyfather,whowerehopelesslyhookedbycigarettes.Para.3a到40年代末、50年代初，我的家鄉(xiāng)佐治亞州的伊騰頓已沒有人再自己手工卷煙了〔而且?guī)缀鯖]有女人抽煙〕。煙草業(yè)，再加上好萊塢電影——影片中的男女主角都是煙鬼——把像我父親那樣的人完完全全爭取了過去，他們無可救藥地抽煙抽上了癮。Para.3bHeneverlookedasfashionableasPrinceAlbert,though;hecontinuedtolooklikeapoor,overweight,hard-workingcoloredmanwithtoolargeafamily,black,withaverywhitecigarettestuckinhismouth.Para.3b然而我父親從來就沒有像阿爾伯特親王那樣時髦過。他還是一個貧窮、過于肥胖、為養(yǎng)活一大家人而拼命干活的男人。他是黑人，嘴里卻總叼著一支雪白的香煙。Para.4Idonotrememberwhenhestartedtocough.Perhapsitwasunnoticeableatfirst,alittlecoughinginthemorningashelithisfirstcigaretteupongettingoutofbed.BythetimeIwassixteen,mydaughter’sage,hisbreathwasawheeze,embarrassingtohear;hecouldnotclimbstairswithoutrestingeverythirdorfourthstep.Itwasnotunusualforhimtocoughforanhour.Para.4我記不清父親是什么時候開始咳嗽的。也許開始時并不明顯,只是早晨一下床點(diǎn)燃第一支香煙時才有點(diǎn)微咳。到我16

歲，也就是我女兒現(xiàn)在這般年紀(jì)時，他一呼吸就呼哧呼哧的，讓人感到不安；他上樓時每走三、四級樓梯就得停下來休息一會兒，而且，他常常一連咳上一個小時。Para.5aMyfatherdiedfrom“thepoorman’sfriend〞,pneumonia,onehardwinterwhenhislungillnesseshadlefthimlow.Idoubthehadmuchlungleftatall,aftercoughingforsomanyyears.Hehadsolittlebreaththat,duringhislastyears,hewasalwaysleaningonsomething.Para.5a肺部的病痛把我父親折磨得虛弱不堪,一個嚴(yán)冬，他死于被稱為“窮人之友〞的疾病——肺炎。他咳嗽了這么多年，我想他的肺部已沒有什么完好的地方了。去世前幾年，他的呼吸已經(jīng)很虛弱了，他總得倚靠著某個東西。Para.5bIrememberedonce,atafamilyreunion,whenmydaughterwastwo,thatmyfatherpickedherupforaminute—longenoughformetophotographthem—buttheeffortwasobvious.Neartheveryendofhislife,andlargelybecausehehadnomorelungs,hequitsmoking.Hegainedacoupleofpounds,butbythenhewassoslimthatnoonenoticed.Para.5b我記得有一次全家聚會，當(dāng)時我女兒才兩歲，他抱了她一會兒，好讓我有時間給他倆拍張照片。但是很明顯，他是費(fèi)了好大勁兒的。生命行將結(jié)束前，他才戒了煙，主要是因?yàn)樗姆喂δ芤褬O度受損。戒煙后他的體重增加了幾磅，但當(dāng)時他太瘦了，所以沒人注意到這一點(diǎn)。Para.6aWhenItraveltoThirdWorldcountriesIseemanypeoplelikemyfatheranddaughter.Therearelargeadvertisementsignsdirectedatthemboth:thetough,confidentorfashionableolderman,thebeautiful,worldly〞youngwoman,bothdraggingaway.

Para.6a我到第三世界國家去旅行時，看到了許多像我父親和女兒那樣的人。到處都有針對他們這兩類人的巨大廣告牌：強(qiáng)壯、自信或時髦的成熟男人，以及漂亮、“世故〞的年青女子，都在吞云吐霧。Para.6bInthesepoorcountries,asinAmericaninnercitiesandonreservations,moneythatshouldbespentforfoodgoesinsteadtothetobaccocompanies;overtime,peoplestarvethemselvesofbothfoodandair,effectivelyweakeningandhookingtheirchildren,eventuallykillingthemselves.Para.6b就像在美國的舊城區(qū)和印第安人的居留地上一樣，在這些貧困的國家里，那些本應(yīng)該花在食物上的錢卻流進(jìn)了煙草公司。久而久之，人們不但缺少食物，而且還缺少空氣，這樣不但大大地?fù)p害了孩子們的體質(zhì)，還使他們?nèi)旧狭藷煱a，最終還會致他們于死地。Para.6cIreadintheewspaperandinmygardeningmagazinethattheendsofcigarettesaresopoisonousthatifababyswallowsone,itislikelytodie,andthattheboiledwaterfromabunchofthemmakesaneffectiveinsecticide.Para.6c我在報(bào)紙還有我訂閱的園藝雜志上看到，煙蒂的毒性很強(qiáng)：一個嬰兒如果吞下了一個煙蒂，就很有可能會死去，而沸水加一把煙蒂就成了很有效的殺蟲劑。Para.7a

ThereisadeephurtthatIfeelasamother.Somedaysitisafeelingofuselessness.IrememberhowcarefullyIatewhenIwaspregnant,howpatientlyItaughtmydaughterhowtocrossastreetsafely.Para.7a作為母親，我深深地感到痛苦。有時我有一種無能為力的感覺。我記得自己懷孕時，吃東西的時候是多么小心啊！之后在教她如何平安穿過馬路時，又是多么耐心?。ara.7bForwhat,Isometimeswonder;sothatshecanstruggletobreathethroughmostofherlifefeelinghalfherstrength,andthendieofself-poisoning,ashergrandfatherdid?Para.7b有時我納悶：自己這樣做到底是為了什么?難道是為了她今后大半輩子有氣無力地掙扎著呼吸，然后再像她外公那樣自己把自己毒死嗎?Para.8aThereisaquotationfromabatteredwomen’sshelterthatIespeciallylike:“Peaceonearthbeginsathome.〞Ibelieveeverythingdoes.Ithinkofaquotationforpeopletryingtostopsmoking:“Everyhomeisano-smokingzone.〞Para.8a我特別喜歡一條寫在受虐婦女收容所里的語錄：“人間和平，始于家庭。〞我認(rèn)為世上所有的東西都是如此。我還想起了另一條寫給那些想戒煙的人們的語錄：“每個家庭都應(yīng)該是禁煙區(qū)。〞Para.8bSmokingisaformofself-batteringthatalsobattersthosewhomustsitby,occasionallyjokeorcomplain,andhelplesslywatch.IrealizenowthatasachildIsatby,throughtheyears,andliterallywatchedmyfatherkillhimself:Surelyonesuchvictoryinmyfamily,fortheprosperousleaderswhoownthetobaccocompanies,isenough.句型Para.8b抽煙是一種自我消滅，而且也消滅著那些不得不坐在你身邊的人。那些人偶爾也會取笑或抱怨你抽煙，可常常只能無可奈何地坐在一邊看。我現(xiàn)在意識到，從我還是個孩子起，這些年來我實(shí)際上是一直坐在旁邊，看著我父親自殺。對那些生意興隆的煙草公司的巨頭們來說，能在我家取得這樣一種勝利，肯定是夠滿意了。MainIdeaoftheTextPartIPartIIPartIIIThesightofherdaughtersmokingsendstheauthorintoagreatpainandmeanwhileremindsherofherfather,acigaretteaddict,whodiedfrompneumonia.Shefeelsdeeplyhurttowatch,innopositiontohelp,manypeoplelikeherdaughterfollowinherfather’ssteps,sosheappealstoallsmokerstoquitsmoking.Thepassageconsistsofeightparagraphsandroughlyfallsintothreepartsinaccordancewiththestoriestheauthorpresents:thestoryofherdaughter,thestoryofherfatherandherappealtosmokers.Fordetail
