主题：请戒烟

Dear Dad,

亲爱的爸爸：

1. I'm writing this email because I want to ask you to stop smoking,and it's too difticult to talk about it face to face. l've looked up a lot of information about smoking and l've found out about its dangers.

我正（给您）写这封电子邮件，因为我想请求您戒烟，面对面谈论这个问题太困难了。我已经查阅了很多有关吸烟的信息，并发现了它的危害。

2.You already know that smoking is bad for you. l've found out that it causes many illnesses. Did you know that thousands of people die from smoking every year in Britain? I don't want you to be one of them.

您已经知道吸烟对您是有害的。我发现它会引起很多疾病。您知道每年在英国有数千人死于吸烟吗？我不想让您成为其中之一。

3. When Mum asks you to smoke outside,you think she's just being difficult. Well,I don't think she is, Not many people like the smell of smoke in their house or on their clothes, and MUITI doesn't like it either. What's more,doctors have found that more and more people who don't smoke are falling ill. It's called secondary smoking,which could make Mum and me ill too.

当妈妈要求您在外面吸烟时，您认为她只是难以相处。唉，我认为她不是这样的。没有几个人喜欢他们房子里或他们衣服上的烟味，妈妈也不喜欢。更重要的是，医生们发现越来越多的不吸烟的人正在患病。这叫二手吸烟，它也会使我和妈妈生病的。

4.I know that it is very difficult to stop smoking, but you must try. Please see the doctor and ask him for help. We will do anything we can to help you. Please don't smoke!

我知道戒烟很困难，但您必须尝试一下。请您去看看医生并寻求帮助。我们会全力帮助您。请不要吸烟！

Your loving daughter,

您的爱女，

Kate
