【參考范文】 The Habit of Smoking
In the picture, cigarettes were put together to form a phrase "THE END", which vividly implies the habit of smoking does a great harm to people's happy life. Smoking poses a potential danger to both the smokers themselves and the non-smokers who breathe in the secondhand smoke, which is even more harmful.
China has a large smoker population. To make things worse, the people who smoke have been on the rise on a daily basis. Some people, especially youngsters, pick up smoking because they think it's cool. Meanwhile,many others regard smoking cigarettes as a way to release pressure or an important lubricant in the social relationship. The sad thing about all this is that many people, knowing smoking is a bad habit, still hold on to it.
Currently, perhaps it is not easy to ban the tobacco industry, but it is possible to enforce the no-smoking policy in all public places, making it more and more difficult and inconvenient for smokers to smoke and at the same time. ensuring peoole who do not smoke to have fresh air to breathe.
【參考譯文】 吸煙的習(xí)慣
在圖片中，一些香煙被拼成了一個(gè)英語(yǔ)短語(yǔ)“結(jié)束”，這生動(dòng)地暗示了吸煙會(huì)嚴(yán)重危害人們的幸福生活。吸煙不僅對(duì)于吸煙者本身很危險(xiǎn)，對(duì)吸二手煙的不吸煙者也是如此，而且二手煙的危害更大。中國(guó)的煙民數(shù)量十分龐大，更糟糕的是，吸煙的人數(shù)每天都在攀升。一些人(尤其是青少年)開(kāi)始吸煙是因?yàn)樗麄冇X(jué)得吸煙很酷。與此同時(shí)，還有很多人認(rèn)為吸煙是一種緩解壓力的方式，也是社會(huì)關(guān)系中重要的潤(rùn)滑劑。這一切所導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果就是許多人即使知道吸煙是一種不好的習(xí)慣，也仍然不肯戒煙。
目前看來(lái)，取締整個(gè)煙草行業(yè)可能并非易事，但是我們可以執(zhí)行在公共場(chǎng)合禁止吸煙的政策。這樣，既可以使煙民吸煙更加困難和不便，又可以保證不吸煙的人能夠呼吸到新鮮的空氣。

【句法點(diǎn)評(píng)】
1.In the picture，cigarettes were put together to form a phrase“THE END”，which vividly impfies the habit of smoking does a great harm to people's happy life.
首句直入主題，介紹圖畫(huà)內(nèi)容，被動(dòng)句與非限制性定語(yǔ)從句相結(jié)合，句式靈活。
2.To make things worse，the people who smoke have been on the rise on a daily basis.
tomakethingsworse意為“使事情更糟糕的是……”。beonthe rise意為“在逐漸增加、上升”。on adaily basis意為“每天”，可用于替換常用表達(dá)everyday。這三個(gè)短語(yǔ)都是非常地道的表達(dá)方式，值得積累。
3.Tbe sad thing about all this is that many people，knowing smoking is a bad habit，still hold on to it.that引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，其中的knowing smoking is a bad habit是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作讓步狀語(yǔ)，也是插入語(yǔ)。hold onto意為“堅(jiān)持，不放棄”，等同于stickto。
4.…but it is possible to enforce the no-smoking policy in all public places.making it more and more difficult…and at the same time.ensuring people who do not smoke…to enforce a policy為固定搭配，意為“推行某一政策”，making…和ensuring…為并列結(jié)構(gòu)，均為現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)。在描述問(wèn)題之后提出現(xiàn)實(shí)的解決方案，使文章更具深度。
