 Lesson 81

    A Heavy Price to Pay

    Tom's father died of lung cancer. He couldn't stop smoking. He tried quitting several times. However, whenever he saw someone smoking, he couldn't resist lighting¹ up. In the end, he gave up trying, it was no use stopping one day and starting again the next. He enjoyed smoking too much. He certainly paid a heavy price, though.

    惨重的代价

    汤姆的父亲死于肺癌。他无法戒烟。他尝试戒了几次。不过，每当他看到有人抽烟时，他就无法抗拒要点根烟。最后，他放弃了尝试。因为一天停下来，第二天又开始是没有用的。

    他太喜欢抽烟了。不过，他也的确付出了惨重的代价。
