【Australia stubs out tobacco branding】这样的烟盒你还敢抽烟吗?
     The imagery of glamour¹, wealth and luxury are gone. This is how tobacco firms must sell their wares² in Australia. Drab uniform coloured packs adorned³ with images of sick babies and diseased body parts. The world's toughest anti-tobacco laws came into effect on December 1st. These smokers⁵ in Sydney say it's unlikely to make any difference to them.
     迷人，丰富和奢侈的图像已经不复存在了，在澳大利亚，烟草公司必须以这样的方式出售他们的香烟产品，单调清一色的包装，配上患病婴儿的图像及身体部位。这项世界上最严厉的反烟草法将于12月1日生效。但在悉尼吸烟者表示，这些对他们可能不会有什么影响。

　　VICTOR EL HAGE, SMOKER⁴, SAYING (English): "What the packages? No, to me they are just pictures you can find in any places, you know They mean nothing to me.
     吸烟者维克多·厄尔说：“这些包装吗？不，对我来说这些图片你可以在任何地方找到，你知道它们对我毫无意义。”

　　LISA WRIGHT, SMOKER, SAYING (English): "We already know the effects especially being 20 years a smoker, you know, it's our choice." The government is hoping the changes will deter⁶ younger people from starting in the first place.
     吸烟者丽莎·赖特说：“我们已经知道了效果，尤其是对于一个20年的抽烟者，你知道这是我们的选择。”政府希望这个改变能把年轻的吸引着遏制在萌芽处。

　　FEDERAL HEALTH MINISTER TANYA PLIBERSEK SAYING (English): "It is the only legal product that, if taken as recommended by its maker⁷, is likely to kill half of its regular users." But Scott McIntyre of British American Tobacco says the measures have a serious downside.
      联邦卫生部长Tanya Plibersek说：“这是唯一合法的产品，如果制造商能采取这些措施，可能会减少一半的普通吸烟者。”但英美烟草斯科特麦金太尔表示这些措施有严重的负面影响。

　　SCOTT MCINTYRE, BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO SPOKESMAN, SAYING (English): "When you make packets of cigarettes easy to copy, becoming exactly the same, the counterfeiters from China and Indonesia will bring lots more of these products down to sell on the streets of Sydney and Melbourne and all across the country." Australia has one of the world's lowest smoking rates so the changes will do little harm to the tobacco companies' profits. But other countries are watching - and waiting - to see if they should follow suit.
     英美烟草的发言人斯科特麦金太尔说：“当制作的香烟包很容易仿制，并且完全一样，来自中国和印尼的仿制者将会把更多的这些产品销售到悉尼、墨尔本和全国各地的各大街道。”澳大利亚拥有世界上最低的吸烟率，所以这次改动几乎不会伤害到烟草公司的利润。但其他国家正在观望等待，看看他们是否应该效仿。
