身体小反应

字幕原文

My body has a mind of its own today. 今天我这身体好像有它自己的想法似的。

It starts with the hiccups — I hold my breath, 先是开始打嗝——我憋住气，

take slow sips of water, and wait for them to pass. 慢慢小口喝着水，等它平息下来。

Then out of nowhere a sneeze builds up, 接着又莫名其妙涌上来一个喷嚏，

so I grab a tissue just in time and blow my nose. 我赶紧抓起一张纸巾擤了擤鼻子。

A big yawn takes over, 一个大大的哈欠又袭了上来，

and I stretch my arms up over my head until my back gives a satisfying crack. 我把双手举过头顶伸了个懒腰，直到后背舒服地咔啪响了一声。

I've been sitting cross-legged too long, 盘腿坐得太久了，

and now my foot is completely asleep — 现在整只脚已经彻底麻掉了——

that weird pins-and-needles tingle as I shake it out. 甩两下脚时，那种像针扎一样又麻又怪的感觉特别明显。

It's funny how much of the body just runs on its own, 想来也挺有意思的，身体居然有这么多功能都是自个儿在运转，

no permission needed. 完全不需要向我们打报告。

We spend all day thinking, planning, worrying — 我们整天都在动脑、计划、焦虑——

and meanwhile this quiet machine keeps hiccuping and yawning and breathing, 而这台安静的机器却在一刻不停地打嗝、打哈欠、呼吸，

taking care of itself. 自己照料着自己。

I roll my shoulders, wiggle my toes back to life, 我活动了下肩膀，动了动脚趾让它缓过来，

and get on with things. 然后接着忙手头的事去了。
