练习材料：Lesson 78 the last one? 时长：94s
After reading an article entitled ‘cigarette smoking and your health’ i lit on an cigarette to calm my nerves.
ˈɑːftə ˈriːdɪŋ ən ˈɑːtɪkl ɪnˈtaɪtld ˌsɪgəˈrɛt ˈsməʊkɪŋ ænd jɔː hɛlθ aɪ lɪt ɒn ən ˌsɪgəˈrɛt tuː kɑːm maɪ nɜːvz.
I smoked my concentration and pleasure as i was sure this would be my last cigarette.
aɪ sməʊkt maɪ ˌkɒnsənˈtreɪʃən ænd ˈplɛʒər æz aɪ wɒz ʃʊə ðɪs wʊd biː maɪ lɑːst ˌsɪgəˈrɛt.
For a whole week i did not smoke at all and during this time, my wife suffered terribly.
fɔːr ə həʊl wiːk aɪ dɪd nɒt sməʊk æt ɔːl ænd ˈdjʊərɪŋ ðɪs taɪm, maɪ waɪf ˈsʌfəd ˈtɛrəbli.
I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and enormous appetite.
aɪ hæd ɔːl ðə ˈjuːʒʊəl ˈsɪmptəmz ɒv ˈsʌmwʌn ˈgɪvɪŋ ʌp ˈsməʊkɪŋ: ə bæd ˈtɛmpər ænd ɪˈnɔːməs ˈæpɪtaɪt.
My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars.
maɪ frɛndz kɛpt ɒn ˈɒfərɪŋ miː ˌsɪgəˈrɛts ænd sɪˈgɑːz.
The made no effort to hide their amusement whenever i produced a packet of sweets from my pocket.
ðə meɪd nəʊ ˈɛfət tuː haɪd ðeər əˈmjuːzmənt wɛnˈɛvər aɪ prəˈdjuːst ə ˈpækɪt ɒv swiːts frɒm maɪ ˈpɒkɪt.
After seven days of this i went to a party.
ˈɑːftə ˈsɛvn deɪz ɒv ðɪs aɪ wɛnt tuː ə ˈpɑːti.
Everybody around me was smoking and i felt extremely uncomfortable.
ˈɛvrɪbɒdi əˈraʊnd miː wɒz ˈsməʊkɪŋ ænd aɪ fɛlt ɪksˈtriːmli ʌnˈkʌmfətəbl.
When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than i could bear.
wɛn maɪ əʊld frɛnd ˈbraɪən ɜːʤd miː tuː əkˈsɛpt ə ˌsɪgəˈrɛt, ɪt wɒz mɔː ðæn aɪ kʊd beə.
I took guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction.
aɪ tʊk ˈgɪltɪli, lɪt ɪt ænd sməʊkt wɪð ˌsætɪsˈfækʃən.
My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more.
maɪ waɪf wɒz dɪˈlaɪtɪd ðæt θɪŋz hæd rɪˈtɜːnd tuː ˈnɔːməl wʌns mɔː.
Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking.
ˈɛnɪweɪ, æz ˈbraɪən ˈpɔɪntɪd aʊt, ɪt ɪz ði ˈiːzɪɪst θɪŋ ɪn ðə wɜːld tuː gɪv ʌp ˈsməʊkɪŋ.
