    Five years ago, I went to Shao Xing to visit my cousin. My grandpa had been outside smoking when my aunt called him into the house. He left his cigarette on the front porch steps so he could continue smoking it when he returned.
    My cousin was curious to see what smoking was really like, so he picked up the cigarette, put it in his mouth and puffed in smoke. Next, he was coughing his head off. He looked like he was about to throw up, but he stretched his hand out toward me to offer me the cigarette. “Come on try it,” he said.
    I just grabbed the stupid thing out of his hand and smashed it with my shoe. Then, grandpa returned. “Where’d my cigarette go?” he asked. I just stood there, not wanting to admit what I had done, or what my cousin had done before that. But I knew that this was the moment of truth. I took a deep breath and began to explain.
    I told my grandpa that I could’t really believe he would choose to smoke. I was sure he knew how bad it was, so why did he do it? He said he started smoking when he was just a teenager. Now he was so addicted that he couldn’t stop. It was just too hard to quit.
    Here was an old man, my own grandpa, admitting there was something that he couldn’t control that was probably slowly killing him. I stood there in disbelief, dumbfounded. Then I remembered this commercial I had seen on TV. There was this lady who was so addicted to cigarettes that she’d gotten really sick. Doctors had to cut a hole in her throat for her to breathe, and she was still smoking through the hole! It was the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen. Standing in front of my grandpa, I began to cry. What if that happened to him?
    Ever since that day, my grandpa has cut back on cigarettes. I know one thing: I want to live a long time. I don’t want to be sick or out of control of my life, the way that lady was. I’ll never smoke. I’ll take fresh air.
    抽煙
    五年前,我去紹興看我的表弟。外公在屋外抽煙,舅媽叫他進(jìn)去。外公把煙留在臺階上,這樣他出來還能繼續(xù)抽。
    表弟對煙很好奇,他拿起那根煙,把它放到嘴里,猛吸了一口。接下來,他開始劇烈地咳嗽。我本以為他會罷休,不料他竟把煙遞給我,“來吧,試試!”
    我一把從他手中奪過煙,扔在地上,一腳踩滅。就在這時(shí),外公出來了?!拔业臒熌?”他問。我呆呆地站在那里,不想承認(rèn)剛才我和表弟做的事。但我知道,這是說出事實(shí)的時(shí)候了。我深吸一口氣,開始解釋。
    我告訴外公,我無法相信他會選擇吸煙。他一定知道吸煙的壞處,為什么還要這樣做呢?外公說,他十幾歲就開始吸煙了,現(xiàn)在他如此上癮以至于停不下來。要戒掉太難了。
    這位老人,我的親外公,承認(rèn)有些東西他也無法控制,而且也許在慢慢危及他的生命。我不敢相信自己的耳朵。突然我想起了電視上的一個(gè)廣告:有一位婦女因?yàn)槲鼰煵〉煤苤?,醫(yī)生不得不在她的喉嚨上開一個(gè)洞讓她呼吸,可她竟還透過那個(gè)洞吸煙!這是我所看見過的最惡心的一幕。站在外公面前,我開始抽泣。如果有一天他也變成這個(gè)樣子怎么辦?
    自從那天以后,外公大大地減少了煙量。有一點(diǎn)我很清楚:我希望自己能活得長一些。我可不想生病或是像那位婦女一樣無法控制自己的生活。我永遠(yuǎn)不會吸煙。我還是喜歡新鮮空氣。
