To help ourselves and others, it's important to know something about drugs. A drug is a chemical substance. It can bring about a physical, emotional, or mental change in people. Alcohol and tobacco are drugs. Caffeine, a substance found in coffee and some soft drinks, is also a drug.
為了幫助自己和其他人,了解毒品相關知識非常重要。毒品是一種化學物質。毒品可以使人們的身體、情感或者精神發生改變。酒精和煙草也是毒品。咖啡和一些軟飲料中含有的咖啡因也是一種毒品。
Drug abuse is the use of a drug, legal or illegal, that hurts a person or someone close to him. A drug user is the person who takes the drug. There are many kinds of drug users. Experimental users may try drugs once or twice. They want to see what the effects will be. Recreational users take drugs to get high. They use drugs with friends or at parties to get into the mood of things. Regular users take drugs all the time. But they are often able to keep up with the normal routine of work. Dependent users can't relate to anything but drugs. Their whole life centers around drugs. They feel extreme mental or physical pain without drugs. It's not always easy to tell that someone is using drugs.
毒品濫用是指合法或非法使用毒品傷害到某人或是某人身邊的人。吸毒者指那些吸毒的人。有許多種吸毒者。實驗者會試一兩次毒品。他們想知道毒品有什么影響。娛樂性吸毒者吸毒是為了爽一下。他們會和朋友們一起吸毒或是在派對上吸毒,為的是進入一種情緒中。經常吸毒者一直吸毒。不過他們還是能正常工作的。吸毒成癮者除了毒品什么都不關心。他們所有的生活重心都與毒品有關。如果不吸毒他們就會感受到極端的精神痛苦或者身體痛苦。一般很難分辨出誰是吸毒者。
In the early stages, drug use is often hard to see. Sometimes, people like drugs or need drugs so much; they can't do without them. They are dependent upon drugs. Only a few kinds of drugs can cause physical dependence. But almost any drug, when it's misused, can make a person think he needs it all the time. By this time, it's too late and the person is hooked.
早期,很難看到有人使用毒品。有時人們很喜歡毒品或非常需要毒品;沒有毒品不行。這就是吸毒成癮。只有幾種毒品會產生身體依賴性。不過,幾乎所有毒品只要濫用,就會讓人們認為他們一直需要毒品。這時,一切為時已晚,人們已經吸毒上癮了。
