談 Ashes To Ashes
查一下，在書/劇/電影等，採用 Ashes To Ashes為名的，可能不少。
下述名著書名的雙關語，漢譯本避開，不知為何取為【煙草的命運】，可能是中國的流行用語。直譯是【從煙灰到骨灰：美國煙戰百年；公共健康與煙商Philip Morris公司的不知恥式勝利】。

原書名 Ashes To Ashes 雙義，一是西方人喪葬中引聖經： for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.你既是灰土，你還要歸於灰土。」 (詳下)
另外的字面義：ashes 既指煙灰，亦指骨灰：參考：http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/ash

《煙草的命運》是一部美國煙草史：煙草界在促使香煙（現代社會最廣泛的自我毀滅工具）成為美國獲利最多的消費品過程中所取得的驚人的但又具諷刺意味的成功；煙草界的“皇室家族”――杜克家族和雷諾茲家族以及他們的繼承者喬治華盛頓、希爾和約瑟夫・F古爾曼，他們具有企業家天賦的後代；煙草界狡猾的商業戰略和營銷策略；它靈活的政治權力運作它對科學界、公眾健康界和政府中反吸煙勢力毫不留情但又轉彎抹角的反擊。一方面，煙草界不惜任何代價地推銷香煙，另一方面，美國公眾不顧一切忠告，而去購買香煙，顯然，雙方有著不可思議的共生關係。
菲利普莫里斯公司的崛起最為引人注目。該公司原是一個默默無聞的小型企業。在進行歷史性的“變性手術”後，菲利普・莫里斯公司將萬寶路香煙由女性的時髦裝飾品變成健壯男子的象徵，最終使它成為美國和世界的第一品牌。美國的香煙史經歷了若干階段：惟利是圖者的輝煌時代，那時煙民要'涉行一英里購買駱駝煙”，雲絲頓香煙抽起來“像支真煙”，全民都能辨認“L＆ S ”和“MFT”的含義。到1964年，美國公共衛生局發表報告，指出吸煙是人類殺手，引起全國震動。最後是大規模兼併時代，RJR・納貝斯克和菲利普・莫里斯一卡夫通用食品公司宣告成立。

Meaning
We come from dust; we return to dust.
Origin
'Ashes to ashes' derives from the English Burial Service. The text of that service is adapted from the Biblical text, Genesis 3:19 (King James Version):
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.你必須汗流滿面，才有飯吃，直到你歸於土中，因為你是由土來的；你既是灰土，你還要歸於灰土。」
The 1662 version of the Book of Common Prayerindicated the manner and text of the burial service:
Then, while the earth shall be cast upon the Body by some standing by, the Priest shall say,
Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be like unto his glorious body, according to the mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself.
The term has been used frequently in literature and song lyrics. Ashes to Ashes is the title of a 2009 BBC television series. It was also used as a song title by David Bowie in 1980, which included one of his best-known lyrics:
Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Somali president sacks prime minister
