[hi..ronan here..i felt that i'm obliged to translate since i was in a chi school..translations are in itallic]

只是坐在餐厅里吃面
just by sittin in a restaurant eatin noodles
也可以患上肺癌

这世界越来越不卫生了
this world is gettin more and more unhygenic
另称“破坏者”的吸烟者
smokers, a.k.a. 'destroyers'
是自私的人
are selfish people

今天早上在课室里上MUET（英文）做练习时，恰好做着一篇有关吸烟报告的文章。我灵机一动，立即在簿子写下前面两行句子：
This morning when i was doin MUET (Malaysian University English thingy) exercise, it was an essay relating to smokin ads. I was moved right then to write down on the exercise book this 2 sentences:

只是坐在餐厅里吃面
just by sitting in a restaurant eating noodles
也可以患上肺癌
can even get lung cancer

坐在我旁边的同学看到后，她问我是否在写诗。因为我只写了两句，她不理解也不奇怪。我就开口问她：“假设你在餐厅里的时候有人吸烟，你是否会觉得周围的人也有可能患上肺癌？”她想了一下，然后很是同意地点头。我把视线再次转回那两行字上，在下一行写上：
my classmate sitting beside me saw it and asked if i was writing a poem. Because it was only 2 sentences, she couldn't understand nor felt strange about it. So i gave her a question: "If you're in a restaurant and someone's smoking, would you think that the surrounding people may get lung cancer?" She thought for a while and then nodded in agreement. So i turned my attention back to that 2 sentences and added the next sentence:

这世界越来越不卫生了
this world is becoming more and more unhygenic

接着我告诉她，这世界真的越来越不卫生了。“是咯，有时候去到一些茶店吃东西的时候，会看到一些人在抽烟。”其实一般上的茶店，也就是茶餐室，的墙壁某地方，会贴着一张小得可怜的禁烟启示。“那个人在很多人吃东西的时候吸烟，可是老板好像也没有理会的意思，吃东西的时候嗅到烟味真的很不好受。”这就是别人正在吃得津津有味的时候的破坏者！
so i then told her, this world is getting more and more unhygenic. "Yup, sometimes going to some restaurants to eat, there would be people smoking." Actually, some restaurants, and that's 'kopitiam's, stuck on some part of the walls, are these very small-till-it's-pitiful no-smoking signs. "That person smokes when there are a lot of people eating, yet the restaurant's owner seemed like he/she doesn't care at all, thus the people eating can only suffer breathing in the cigarette smoke." And these people are the 'destroyers' when people are eating happily!

我个人非常反对人们去吸烟，就算是一秒钟的尝试也不可以！原因是我本身对烟敏感，嗅到烟就会呛到、鼻孔痒、甚至呼吸不到，烟被嗅到肺部，我可以强烈感觉到肺部缺氧、喉咙干燥。当然也不止，吸烟真的可以严重影响身体的健康，有人可以因吸烟而瘫痪终身。
Personally, i'm very against those who smoke, even if it's just testing for a second i also will not allow! The reason is I myself is sensitive to cigarette smoke, once i smell it i would choke, nose itchy, can't even breathe, when the smoke got into my lungs, i can strongly feel myself lacking of oxygen and my throat dried up. And not just that, smoking can really badly affect one's health, some can even get paralysed for the rest of their lives.

我所说的并不虚假，是有确实的例子存在的，而且也有很多卫生局科学家都一致把吸烟这活动定于罪行！
What i've said is true, such example really does exist, and quite a lot of scientists from sanitation bureaus have been treating smoking as a criminal act!

其实聪明的人都知道，吸烟是完全带来不了任何好处。那些所谓的“为了要放松”、“减轻疲累烦恼”之类懦夫的逃避借口，完全不是理由，也不能成立为吸烟的理由。如果以为吸烟是示威的行为的话，那么这些人也只不过是名副其实的“人头猪脑”罢了。
Actually, those who are intelligent also know, smoking does not have any benefits at all. Those who used "to relax", "to ease stress" as excuses, all are not reasons nor can be used as a reason to smoke. If smoking is for showing off then these people are worthy to be called 'people with pig brains'.

如果要放松，要解劳的话，我建议你们都去喝白水！水不但无毒无化学，而且又便宜、容易得到买到，可以帮助开胃开脑！做数学前喝白水的话，思考能力也可以因此上升！水拥有氧气，喝白水让身体补氧可以使身体更有效率地工作和活动。白水益处多多，怎么也不可能可以让任何人找出弱点吧？！
If wanna relax, reduce stress, then i suggest you all go drink water! Water is not just without poison or chemical, it also helps excretion, easy to buy, and helps give appetite and operates the brain! By drinking water before doing maths, your thinking ability will be increased! Water contains oxygen, so by drinking water it can resupply oxygen to make the body more effective in doing work and activities. The benefits of water is a lot, it's impossible to find any disadvantages of it i suppose?!

回到“吸烟”这个话题，长期吸烟，可以导致肺部活动缓慢，呼吸器官可能也会有诸塞状况。持续维持吸烟习惯的话，肺部会变乌黑，甚至在肺部形成无数的破洞。可见被烟粒子经过的物品都会黑化，形成小型缓慢的燃烧，把吸烟者的肺部一再侵略、烧烤。包着这样不健康的肺部的身体体能自然会下降、呼吸困难、缺氧等等健康问题，这就等于一个抱着随时丧命的人，痛苦又提心吊胆地等待生命的最后那一刻。
Coming back to the topic of 'smoking', long term smoking, can cause lung activities to slow down, breathing organs may also have blockages. If the habit of smoking continues, the lungs will become black, even till the shape of the lungs becomes punctured with numerous holes. It can be seen that stuff in contact with tar will turn black and burns lightly, thus also it also invades and barbecues the smokers' lungs. With such unhealthy lungs the body's form will naturally decrease, having difficulties in breathing, lacking oxygen, and all sorts of health problems; this is just like someone having a life that will slip off anytime, suffering and worrying as the last moment of that person's life comes.

烟粒子不但可以腐蚀肺部，它也会把体内的细胞烧毁消灭。当细胞被消灭到差不多的数量而严重不能再大量修复再生后，吸烟者的四肢细胞就会开始接受不了大脑的信息而促渐退化、不听使唤。我父亲也是例子之一，少年时挥霍无度嗜上吸烟喝酒，现在换来的是身家惨败一身疾病，他的腿，已经不能再自由行走，他只能撑着一个超大助行拐杖，脚板拖着地板慢慢行走，现在他的脚板都磨得差不多快要平平的了。看看老师的父亲，比我父亲年长许多，但是我天天都见到他很有精神地在跑步，这就是吸烟者和非吸烟者的巨大差别。
Tar not just corrodes the lungs, it can also burn and destroy cells in the body. And when the number of body cells is badly decreased till they cant multiply in large numbers, the limbs of the smoker will start to be unable to receive messages from the brain and degenerates, no longer accepting orders. My father is one of the examples, since in his youth days has been smoking and drinking alcohol, and now in exchange, body in bad form and full of diseases; his legs can no long walk freely, he can only support on a super big walking stick, dragging his feet on the floor as he slow walks; now his feet have been rubbed against the floor till almost flat. Seeing my teacher's father, being so much older than my father, yet everyday seeing him jogging with full of spirit, this is the obvious difference between a smoker and a non-smoker.

现在烟价不断增长，但是却还是那么多人戒不了反而吸得更猛，好似明天可能再也吸不到了地拼命抽烟。其实这样吸法，真的会活不到明天。与其花费大量的金钱在烟草上买“不健康”，倒不如把那些钱储存起来，买一些更实际的东西或用作紧急基金。与其把时间花在享受抽烟的几分钟上，倒不如把时间花在几个简单的促氧运动上。仔细想一想，要是自己就死在每天一小支烟草上，岂不是逊透了？！别开玩笑，我宁愿笑到死也不要吸烟死。笑着死去，人生才显得过得轻松呀！
Nowadays, the price of cigarettes is increasing non-stop, yet people who can't curb their smoking habit smoke even more, smoking as if tomorrow may never be able to smoke. Actually by doing that, really won't gonna make it till tomorrow. Especially by wasting such large amount of money on tobacco like buying 'unhealthiness', they can save those money and buy something more realistic or as an emergency fund. And by wasting that few minutes of time smoking, they can use it to do some simple rejuvenating exercises. Think properly, if you die just by having a small stick of tobacco each day, isn't that absurd? No kidding, i rather laugh till i die than smoke. By laughing till you die, life's obviously more relaxing!

不过非吸烟者也别高兴得太早，我相信许多人也已经知道，二手烟的受害者的下场也会是惨不忍睹。我记得课堂上老师曾经说过，由于吸烟者抽烟时，那支烟的尾端具有过滤棉，和直接吸二手烟的人比起来，吸入二手烟的人会显得更严重的情况。所以不吸烟的各位，虽然你们觉得旁边的人吸烟不关自身的事，但这样也可以危害到你的健康。这就是我为什么说：“只是坐在餐厅里吃面，也可以患上肺癌。”的原因。
But, non-smokers shouldn't be happy too early, i believe that a lot of people already know, what happens to 2nd hand smokers is also very horrible to look at. I remember during last my teacher once said, when smokers smoke, the rear end of the cigarette(where the mouth is) has a filter, so to compare with 2nd hand smokers, the latter face even worse situation. Therefore fellow non-smokers, even though you may think the smokers around you are non of your business, it actually can affect your health too. So that is the reason why i said, "Just by sitting in a restaurant eating noodles, can also get lung cancer."

“我想吸烟的人一定很自私。”“为什么你这么说？嗯……难道是因为别人在吃东西，他却自己顾自己在那边抽烟？”非常正确！因为无论餐厅、巴士或是哪个公共场所，他们都不会想想旁边的人的感受，自顾自地抽起烟来。虽然已经明显挂着“禁止吸烟，不然罚XXX百块。”，可是前面那个巴士司机仍然无法无天地在尽情抽烟。坐在他后面的我可是遭殃了……
"I think smokers must be selfish." "Why do you say so?" Erm..is it because when people are eating, the smoker smokes, caring just about him/herself? "Correct! Because not just restaurants, bus stops or other public places, they will not think about the feelings of the people around them as they selfishly light up a cigarette. Even though a "No smoking, or else fine RM XXX 00.00" sign is obviously put up, that bus driver still lawlessly smokes as much as he wants to. Sitting behind him, i'm doomed......

“如果别人在吃东西的时候有人在抽烟的话，东西都变得不好吃了。”我说。的确，烟的味道很重，可以盖过食物的香味。人在享受食物的时候，鼻子的嗅觉是激发舌头味觉的来源，在嗅到食物的味道的同时吃东西，舌头才可以真正品尝到食物的味道。假想你吃东西的时候嗅觉没了或者嗅觉被干扰了，好吃的食物也会变得难吃。更何况是烟味？嗅入那么苦的味道，难道你还可以有心情继续进食吗？就算可以，你也已经有患上肺癌的觉悟了！
"If there are smokers when people are eating, then the food will not be tasty anymore," i said. For sure, the smell of cigarette smoke is very dense, and can cover the taste of food. When people are enjoying their food, the smell of the food picked up by the nose is what excites the tastebuds on the tongue; when smelling the food while eating, the tongue will then taste the real taste of the food. If while you're eating and the smell is no more or your smelling ability is distracted, even tasty food can become difficult to eat. Let alone cigarette smoke? Such bitter smell, can you still continue eating heartily? Even if you can, you already have the awareness of getting lung cancer!

我想了想，又对她说：“如果有这样的人在别人进食时抽烟的话，你要对他说‘先生（小姐），感谢你跟我分享你的烟，可是因为我忙着吸嗅你的烟，我连我这碗面都没有时间享受了！’。”说完后我们两个就在教室里响起小小的笑声。
I pondered, and told her(the friend), "If there's such a person who smokes when people are eating, you can tell him, 'Mister/Miss, thanks for sharing with me your cigarette smoke, but because i was too busy smelling your smoke, i don't even have anymore time left to enjoy my bowl of noodle!'. " Having said so, we 2 giggled in the class.






后来放学补完课在学校外面等车时，我听到后面一群小学弟学妹们在兴奋地讨论某话题。后来他们之中某人说他们的某个女同学抽烟时吸引了我的注意力。“她是抽过还是一直都在抽啊？”这是在问她是尝试地抽还是上瘾地抽。“好像是试过而已吧！她自己说的！”“怯！我够有试过啦！而且还是爸爸叫我试的！”是一个男生的声音，“哈哈哈，我记得我公公也是常常抽烟的，我都嗅惯了！”这次是女生。我听到了心里想，要是这样无知的年轻人再增加的话，那么全球注定要丧命在抽烟的原因之下的人就会越来越多……实行再多的绿化活动也降低不了地球的污染指数！蓝星球只会变得越来越高温，我们这些蓝球人也只能等待海水来把我们淹没。再说多少上亿万的道歉也挽回不了寿命正在消减的地球。
After that, after school while waiting for transport, i heard a group of juniors behind me talking about something. After that, one of them who said there's a girl student who smokes attracted my attention. "She smoked before or have been smoking?" This was to know if she only tried or have been addicted to smoking. "It seems like she only tried i guess! She said so herself!" "Cheh, i myself also tried before la! And it's even my dad who asked me!" said one guy. "Hahaha, i remember my grandpa always smoke, i'm already used to it!" this time it was a girl. I heard and i wondered, if such uneducated youngsters increase in numbers, then in the whole world people who died because of smoking will surely be more and more......having so many go-green activities can never decrease the amount of pollution! The earth'll become even more hotter, we humans can only wait for the seas to drown us out. By saying infinite of apologies will never save this dying planet.


破坏者们可否还有自觉知觉呢？
这种损人不利己、损天地、损万物的事情，你是否还想继续做？
难道你看着燃烧的烟草头，不会联想到你正在用火烧着你用血汗、不惜被老板咒骂、辛辛苦苦赚来的金钱吗？
你一定听不到，因为曾经被太阳烧得枯萎的烟草再次被生火燃烧而哭泣的声音。
Can destroyers ever become aware?
This action which does not just destroy bodies, the skies and the earth and all creations, will you want to continue doing so?
Is it really when you look at the light cigarette, it won't occur to you that you're burning up your blood and sweat, not caring about being scolded by your boss, all the money you have work so much for?
You sure won't be hear, the cries of burning tobacco withered by the scorching sun.


Sorry for those who dunno how to read chinese...
But I typed too long and i dunno how to translate it to English already...
This passage is about tabacco destroys lives,
I just gave some idea on how unclever he or she is if that person smooke.
This is what I discover today during school time,
Felt disappointed about what had happend nowadays on the case the cause by smooking,
And so I wrote this such a long passage...
Although we do not take tabacco,
But it doesn't mean that the others who smooke is not our bussiness,
Just shout out to the person that close to you,
Try to advice, but not try to give up,
This is all for our healths!
Besides, God gaves us the bodies are not to destroy but to appreciate!
Remember, God had gave each of us a healthy body, we have to feel thankful on it.

GOD BLESS YOU!!! HAVE A VERY NICE WEEK!
