摘要：Smoking English可够多的，这都是第三篇了:-Q
来来来，大伙接着抽：
--Hunger returned in the small hours of morning. He rolled a cigarette, and as he smoked, he tasted each drag carefully, hoping his stomach would mistake flavor for nutrition.
Mr. Hunger 的确是够hunger的了，都到了"吸烟充饥"的地步了，一口口（each drag）都要细细品尝，还希望能把通宵辘辘的饥肠蒙混过去--从吸烟中得到"滋补"。
--...man smoking from long pipes, crouching...
--- David Selbourne: An Eye to China
都抽成什么样了，还抽。不要命了？怎么又是从An Eye to China里摘出来了的!我KAO！
--He...inhaled his cigarette, blew out the smoke...
一吸（inhaled）,一呼（blew out）。
--Kabokov flicked the ash from his cigarette with the tip of his little finger.
姿势够幽雅的，flick...with the TIP of his LITTLE FINGER。
--Brandt tapped his ash slowly into the dashboard tray.
上面那句是用手指flick，这里可是用的手腕的力量和香烟的惯性tap。还是有差别的呀。注意汽车仪表盘下面的烟缸是有专门的说法的--dashboard tray。
--The fire on Kabakov's cigar was two inches long. He was elated.
雪茄上的火头都two inches long了，抽的可够猛的，什么兴奋的事，不会是要作案吧？
--Another man in the cave, sitting on a brown-wooden-bench at the table, (and smoking his cigarette to the butt, in pinched stained fingers), says...
--- David Selbourne: An Eye to China
又是从An Eye to China里摘出来了的...smoke to the butt, stained fingers,这不是丑化中国人民吗？@#@$#@$%#$% Damn it! Sellbone 同志您干脆连stained teeth一起写出来吧，干吗这么遮遮掩掩的？ --During the file she smokes cigarette upon cigarette..
又是一位女烟民，而且是chain smoker。
--"Christ, I've been smoking like a chimney..."
老烟囱！
--The ashtray was overflowing and I was nearly out of cigarettes.
烟缸都满了，烟能剩下吗？不行您就拣点BUTT抽吧。都到了"烟缸溢，烟卷竭"的地步了，小心这个月的烟钱超支呀？
天下没有抽不尽的烟，下一步要打扫战场--处理烟斗中的余烬和卷烟的烟蒂了。
--这个。。您看明天再说行吗？
--不行！
--（我倒）来来来，老大您先抽根烟休息休息，我接着写。
--...
--（嘿嘿，我先去睡觉了，有事明天说。）各位再见。
The End
