😷生病想起阿吉貓 😺Think of Cat Agie When I’m Sick
我們家老貓離開後，每次經過獸醫院，都有衝動想進去看看牠的病友阿吉，但總勾起那段帶貓看病的心碎回憶而作罷。
After our old cat passed away, I tried to go back to her veterinary hospital to see her hospital-mate Agie. But in the end, I didn’t as it always brought back those heart-breaking memories of our cat.
說是病友，其實不完全正確，只是在我們的貓頻繁到獸醫院報到的8個月裡，每次等看診時，那隻叫阿吉的貓都會湊過來，透過寵物包氣孔窗，跟我們的貓打招呼。
It’s not exactly true to say that my cat and Agie were friends in the veterinary hospital. But Agie did come over to see our cat in her last 8 months in the veterinary hospital.
Agie did jump with his two front foot to near our pet bag to give our cat a warmful look for a couple times.
久而久之，我們家生病的老貓偶而會在寵物包裡回頭，跟那隻叫阿吉的貓交換一下眼色，算是回應吧。
Over time, our family pet cat with illness in the bag occasionally looking back to exchange glances with the cat named Agie.
阿吉貓，後半身因意外而癱瘓，上廁所不能自理，需要護士每天用手幫他大小便。
Aggie cat, half-paralyzed by accident that he cannot take care of his toilet but need a nurse to help him with that every day.
而阿吉的坐姿，像兩度提名台灣金曲獎的傳奇阿吉仔，這大概是牠名字的由來。
Agie’s sitting posture is like the legendary Aji, who twice nominated the Taiwan Golden Melody Award. This is probably the origin of his name.
不過，除了行動不便的外在形象，正牌阿吉仔成名曲《命運的吉他》唱出：「我比別人卡認真，我比別人卡打拚，為什麼、為什麼比別人卡歹命」的滄桑怨嘆，但這首歌卻完全跟阿吉貓聯不起來。
However, in addition to the inconvenient external image, in the famous song of Aji “Fate of Destiny”,
“I made more efforts than others, I did more than someone else, why, why my fate was so bad?” ,
but it is totally unable to link up with cat Agie.
跟醫生、護士探聽，阿吉完全沒有因為行動不便而陰鬱，反而是隻開朗、爭取時間玩樂、到處交際的獸醫院公關大使。
Talking to the doctors and nurses, you will know that Agie is not gloomy for the inconvenience in action at all.
Instead, he is a veterinarian who is very cheerful and communicating with the public.
每天獸醫院一大早開門，護士一把籠門打開，阿吉一定馬上用兩隻前腳一跳一跳到處玩耍，玩到護士要幫牠處理排泄時，還經常躲到不見蹤影。
Every day, the veterinary hospital opens the door early in the morning. As soon as the nurse opens the door, Agie will immediately jump around with his two front feet. When he plays to the nurse to help him handle the excretion, he often hides.
被護士捉到處理完該處理的事後，阿吉會跳到為牠專設的寶座：一個竹簍子，瞪大眼看著每個進獸醫院求診的動物。
After being caught by the nurses to handle the treatment, Agie would jump to the throne that he had set up for him: a bamboo basket in there he would stare at each animal admitted to the hospital.
這些動物，不管尺寸大小，只要露出哀怨眼神、叫聲，阿吉貓就會用前腳跳出竹簍，靠過來給個關心的眼神。
These animals, regardless of size, as long as the exposed sad eyes, sounds, Agie will jump out of the basket, leaned over to a concerned look.
處理完貓的後事這幾個月，我自己開始不停生病，小感冒到大感冒不斷，感染部位更在眼耳口鼻間輪來輪去。
小病原本沒甚麼，但兩個月連續七週都到醫院報到，呼氣都是藥味，久而久之，自然心情低落。
Finished with our cat’s funeral, which a few months, I began to keep sick, from small to large cold constantly, infection sites more round to go in between the eyes, ears, mouth and nose wheel.
For two consecutive months, I kept going in and out the hospital. As time went by, my mood was low.
那天我從醫院回家，走過獸醫院，看到阿吉貓坐在竹簍裡看著經過的我，我也看著牠。
I went home from the hospital that day and walked through the veterinary hospital. I saw Agie sitting on a bamboo basket and watching me passing by. I also looked at him.
我忽然領悟無論如何生病，都應該想起阿吉貓。
I suddenly realized that no matter how you get sick, you should always think of Agie.像阿吉貓那樣把像悲劇的，活成喜劇，
人生，就不會是有備而來想面對的悲劇。
Agie obviously like the cat that appears to be a tragedy, but he turned it into a comedy.
If I learned from him in life, then I would not have to prepare to face the tragedy.
跟阿吉貓互看一下，我覺得好多了。
Looking at each other with cat Agie, I feel much better.
