晾折熨烫

字幕原文

The dryer buzzes, 烘干机响了，

so I pull everything out while it's still warm — 我赶紧趁热把衣服全拿出来——

that's the trick to fewer wrinkles. 这样衣服才不容易起皱。

I shake each shirt out and hang it up right away, 衬衫一件件抖开立马挂起来，

and lay the sweaters flat so they keep their shape. 毛衣平铺放好，免得走形。

The rest I fold into neat little stacks: 剩下的全叠成整整齐齐的小堆：

towels in thirds, socks paired up, everything squared off. 毛巾折成三折，袜子配成对，每样都叠得方方正正。

For my good shirt, 至于我那件好衬衫，

I set up the ironing board and run a steam iron over it, 我支起熨衣板，用蒸汽熨斗仔细熨上一遍，

pressing out the creases along the collar and cuffs. 把领口和袖口上的褶子都压平整。

There's something quietly meditative about folding warm laundry — 叠热乎乎的衣服，总有一种让人内心平静的魔力——

turning a chaotic pile into tidy rows, 把乱成一团的衣物变成一排排规整的小方块，

like putting your thoughts in order too. 就像把自己的思绪也理顺了一样。

I carry the stacks to the drawers and tuck everything away. 我把叠好的一摞摞衣服放进抽屉收好。

A small, ordinary task, but the closet looks calm, 虽然只是件微不足道的小事，但衣柜看起来整整齐齐、安安静静的，

and somehow so do I. 不知怎的，我心里也跟着平静了下来。
