歪果仁说Are you smoking可不是“你抽烟吗”！

“Are you smoking?”是什么意思?

更完整的表达是What was (one) smoking?

What was (one) smoking?

你抽了什么疯？

Used to express confusion, annoyance, or surprise at someone's past opinions, decisions, behavior, etc. The phrase alludes to the psychological impairment associated with drug use. 

用于表达对某人过去的意见、决定、行为等的困惑、烦恼或惊讶。这个短语暗指与吸毒有关的心理障碍。

What were you smoking when you picked out this hideous wallpaper? 

你是抽了什么疯选这张难看的壁纸？

What were we smoking when we thought a flight at 6 AM was a good idea?

当我们认为乘坐早上6点的飞机是个好主意时，是脑子进水了吗？

“你抽烟吗？”英文怎么说?

要问别人抽烟吗?

正确的表达是：

Do you smoke? 

或Are you a smoker?

例：

A: Do you smoke?

你抽烟吗?

B: Not now, but I used to.

现在不抽了，但过去常常抽的。

关于smoke的俗语:

there's no smoke without fire

这是英式英语的说法，美式通常用where there's smoke, there's fire

This idiom means that when people suspect something, there is normally a good reason for the suspicion, even if there is no concrete evidence. 

这个习语指的是当人们对某事产生疑虑时，即使没有确凿的证据，通常也有充分的理由去怀疑。

无火不冒烟;无风不起浪

例：

She says the accusations are not true, but there's no smoke without fire. 

她说那些指控纯属子虚乌有，但无风不起浪。
