W：Did you read the letter in the paper about smoking? The person who wrote that must be crazy.
你有看报纸上关于抽烟的信吗?那个写信的人一定是疯了。

我不这样认为。我觉得政府应该尽一切努力阻止人们吸烟。
W：Maybe so. But a law banning cigarettes will do no good.
或许是这样。但是出台禁烟的法律是没好处的。
M：No, you can’t suddenly make smoking illegal, but government could prohibit smoking in public places like movies and theatres.
不，你不能突然让抽烟变成违法，但是政府可以在电影院和戏院这样的公共场所禁烟。
