吸烟smoke[英][sməʊk] [美][smok] 中英文小故事：欧洲人学吸烟 沃尔特•罗利爵士是个著名的英国旅行家。他生活在16世纪伊丽莎白女王时代。他曾几次从英国航海去美国。 他在美洲海岸探险的时候，看到印第安人抽烟草的叶子。他自己也想试试，就往英国运回了一些烟草叶。英国人还从未抽过烟，看到罗利吸烟，人们都觉得很奇怪。 一天，他坐在椅子里吸烟，仆人走了进来。仆人看到主人的头顶有一团云一般的烟雾，以为主人身上着火了，就赶紧冲出去，几分钟后他提回一桶水，把水全倒在主人的脸上。火自然被浇灭了。 后来仆人明白了主人是在吸烟，这只是一种放松的方式。罗利的故事传开来。从那时起，很多人开始学吸烟，现在世界各地都有人吸烟。可是，有些人认为如果罗利没教欧洲人吸烟，那会更好。 Europeans Learning to Smoke Sir Walter Raleigh was a well-known English traveler who lived in the 16th century in the days of Queen Elizabeth. He made several voyages to America from England. While he was exploring the shores of America 9 he saw the Indians smoking the leaves of the tobacco plant. He thought that he would do the same, so he brought some of the leaves to England. No Englishman had ever smoked before that and people thought it very strange when they saw Raleigh smoking. One day，as he was smoking in his chair, his servant came into the room. He saw a cloud of smoke over his master’s head and thought his master was on fire. He rushed out and a few minutes later came back with a pail of water. He threw the water in his master’s face. Of course the fire was put out. Later the servant came to understand that his master was smoking，a way to relax himself. Raleigh’s story spread. Since then a great many people have learned to smoke and now tobacco is smoked all over the world. However, some people think that it would have been better if Raleigh hadn’t taught Europeans to smoke. 中英文例句 1. Do you mind if I smoke? 你不介意我抽根烟吧？ 2.
