81.Cold Shower
81.冷水浴
When Jay's alarm went off，it was still dark.
杰伊的闹钟响的时候，天还没有亮。
He had to feel his way around the room to even find the light switch.
就连找电灯开关他也得在房里摸索着向前走。
As he moved about Jay groaned.
杰伊一边摸索一边抱怨。
He could feel in his bones that today wasn't going to be a good day.
他从内心预感到这一天有些不妙。
And he didn't feel up to going to university at all.
他觉得完全不能去上学了。
But he made it to the shower.
但是他来到了淋浴房。
A good burst of cold water was enough to keep anyone from feeling down in the dumps.
痛痛快快洗一个冷水浴足以让人摆脱闷闷不乐的情绪。
And it worked. Jay was soon feeling like a new man.
这一招还真管用。杰伊很快感觉像是换了一个人。
He stepped into the kitchen and threw a couple of fresh eggs from his brother's farm in the frying pan.
他走进厨房，往油炸锅里打了几个从哥哥农场里弄来的新鲜鸡蛋。
He was glad his brother could ferret out the fertilized eggs from the non-fertilized ones.
他很高兴哥哥能从未受精卵的鸡蛋中把受精卵的鸡蛋挑出来。
Jay couldn't have! Now he was looking forward to eggs and bacon.
杰伊可役这个本事！现在他在等他的鸡蛋和熏咸肉。
As he fiddled with the frying pan, Jay felt free enough to start singing.
他一边摆弄油炸锅，一边自在的开心唱歌。
Ah, it was good to fend for oneself.
啊，自己照料自己的感觉真好。
He had only lived alone now for two weeks. But it was great.
他独立生活到现在还只有两个星期，但他觉得很不错。
And Jay decided then and there that though he might feel small in the world, he could still live a happy life.
他此时此地觉得尽管他会在这个世界上感到渺小，他仍然可以生活得很幸福。
Especially in his own apartment! Jay felt right at home!
尤其是在自己的公寓里！杰伊觉得无拘无束，舒服极了！
Too bad his mother was alone though.
可糟糕的是妈妈孤独一人。
She was feeling her age lately, not feeling well at all.
最近她老是觉得自己老了，觉得身体一点儿也不好。
That also meant that she didn't feel like doing anything.
这就意味着她一点儿也不想做任何亊情。
She would complain about it to him and his brother so much that they could feel their ears burning!
她会向他和他哥哥使劲抱怨，让他们感到羞愧。
Ah well, Jay would stop by today after field hockey and cheer her up.
算了吧，杰伊想今天打完曲棍球之后就结束这种生活，回家让妈妈高兴高兴。
Maybe he could pass some of his cheer to her.
也许他能把他的欢乐带点给她。
Or maybe she should just take a cold shower!
或者也许她应该洗个冷水浴！
