广西壮族自治区成人学位英语考试

people in authority, especially parents, health care workers, and teachers, is of prime importance. School rules should forbid smoking by children in the buildings. This rule has been introduced at Summer Hill School where I spent my schooldays.

按理说，预防孩子吸烟要比劝说成年人戒烟要容易些，但事实上并非如此。权威人士，特别是父母、医务工作者以及教师的榜样是非常重要的。学校规章制度应该禁止孩子们在教学楼里吸烟。这种制度已经在我上学的夏山（Summer Hill）学校里实施。

There is, however, a risk of children smoking just to rebel against the rules, and even in those schools which have tried to enforce no smoking by physical punishment there is as much smoking as in other schools. Nevertheless, banning smoking is probably on balance beneficial. Teachers too should not smoke in school buildings, at least not in front of children.

然而，还是有孩子不顾禁令，有意作对。甚至在实行体罚禁烟的学校里，学生吸烟现象和其他学校一样严重。但是，总的来说，禁烟是有益。教师们也不应该在学校大楼里吸烟，至少不要当着孩子们的面。
