第七十八课 The last one? 最后一枝吗？

1. an article entitled‘Cigarette Smoking and Your Health’,一篇题为《吸烟与健康》的文章。

(1)在英语中，文章名与书名中的每个单词的第一个字母均大写，不在开头位置的连词、冠词等除外。
(2)entitle的含义为“给 ……题名/定名”，在这里是过去分词（短语）作定语。entitle常用于被动语态：
The writer hasn't entitled his new book yet.
那位作家还没给他的新书写/取名。
另外，entitle还有一个意思是“授权”，常与to连用，比如：
You are entitled to travel first calss.
你有权坐头等仓。

2.I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite. 我具备了戒烟者通常表现出来的所有症状：脾气暴躁和食欲旺盛。

(2)giving up smoking可以看做是someone的定语，即someone who gives up smoking.

4．They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets,...每当我拿出一包糖的时候，他们都毫不掩饰地…

(1)make no effort表示“根本不作努力”。

她费力地/毫不费力地写了那封信。
而make every effort to do sth.则表示“尽全力做某事”：

5.When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear. 当老朋友Brian非要我抽一支的时候，我再也忍不住了。
more than后面跟一个从句或一个形容词时可以表示“超出” （多用于口语）：

他对自己的新房间极其满意。
This was more than I had expected.
这超出了我的预料。

6.I took one guiltily. 我内疚的接过一支。

guilt n. 罪过

7.Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking.不管怎么说，正如布赖恩指出的那 样，戒烟是世界上最容易的事情。

(1)it为先行主语，代替后面的不定式短语 to give up…。
