日常吃药

字幕原文

It's time for my medicine, 该吃药了，

so I line up the bottles on the counter. 我把药瓶在台面上排成一排。

The first cap is one of those child-proof ones — 第一个盖子是那种防儿童开启的安全盖——

I push down and twist off the lid, 得用力往下压再拧开，

which always takes me a couple of tries. 我每次都得试好几回才能拧开。

I shake out one pill into my palm, 我倒出一粒药片在手心里，

pop it in my mouth, 扔进嘴里，

and swallow it with a big gulp of water. 喝了一大口水咽了下去。

For the vitamins, I read the label to check the dose, 至于维生素，我看了眼标签确认用量，

then take them with a little food. 然后就着点东西吃下去。

Last, I peel a pain-relief patch off its backing and press it onto my shoulder, 最后，我撕开止痛贴的背纸，按在肩膀上，

smoothing down the edges so it sticks. 把边缘抹平让它贴牢。

I screw all the caps back on tight and put everything back in the cabinet, 我把所有的盖子都拧紧，全都放回柜子里，

well out of reach. 放在够不着的地方。

There's a quiet responsibility in taking care of your health, 照顾好自己的身体，其实是一种默默的责任感，

one small routine at a time. 就体现在这一桩桩日常小事里。

Done for the day, I tick it off my mental list. 今天这事搞定了，我在心里默默打了个勾。
