Step1. Greetings

Step2 Deal with some language points.

2. I became addicted to cigarettes.

be addicted to 沉溺于；热衷于；对...上瘾

He became addicted to the drug.他上了毒瘾。

3. This means that after a while your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it.

accustom vt. 使习惯于 accustomed adj. 惯常的；习惯了的

【重点短语】

accustom +sb./oneself +to 使某人（自己）习惯/适应于

be /get / become accustomed to 习惯于；适应于 (= be/get used to)其中to为介词

My eyes soon became accustomed to the darkness. 我的眼睛很快适应了黑暗。

4. I knew it was time to quit smoking.

quit动词，过去式和过去分词是quit或quitted，现在分词为quitting.

5. I didn't know, for example, that it could do terrible damage to

your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking

do harm to 对......造成伤害 do good to 对......有好处

do bad for 对......有害处

6. Decide on a day to quit.

decide on 对......作出决定

We decided on Spain for our holiday this year. 今年我们决定到西班牙度假。

7. Every time you feel like smoking a cigarette, remind yourself that you are a non-smoker.

"feel like"的具体用法如下：

"feel like + n./pron./doing sth." ，意为"想要某物"或"想要做某事"。例如：I feel like a drink. I don't feel like eating.

8. But I did finally manage.

在"did/do/does+动词原形"中，"did/do/does"为助动词，意为"确实，的确，真的"，用于肯定句和祈使句中，起到强调谓语动词的作用。

9. It is not easy to stop smoking, but millions have managed to quit and so can you.

"so + be/助动词/情态动词 + 主语"结构中，so代替上句中的某个成分，表示一种肯定的情况适用于前者，同时也适用于后者。

当一种否定的情况也同时适合于另一个人时，要用："neither/nor + be/助动词/情态动词 + 主语"结构。

Step 3 Practice

根据括号内所给的提示将下列句子翻译成英语。

1. 由于身体不好，他被迫停止了教学工作。(due to; quit)

2. 要过很长一段时间你才能习惯当地的食物。(It be + 时间段+ before; get accustomed to)

3. 我打算举办个生日宴会, 可我难以决定该邀请谁。(decide on)
