難題 The Dilemma

工作(Job)、職業(Career)、志業(Calling),關於社會人士的生存樣態,通常會有這三種類型的描述。

When it comes to the ways adults live and work, there are generally three types of descriptions: Job, Career, and Calling.

工作的目的僅是為了財務考量,無關乎個人的熱情與長期動機。

A job exists purely for financial reasons, with no connection to personal passion or long-term motivation.

職業則是透過工作累積的技能獲得機會擔任更高地位、取得更高財務回報。

A career involves gaining skills through work and using those skills to achieve higher positions and better financial rewards.

志業不見得與財務報酬或社會地位有正向關連,主要是與個人的價值觀、自我充實感,甚至對社會貢獻相關。

A calling isn’t necessarily tied to money or social status, but rather to one’s values, sense of fulfillment, and even contribution to society.

護體 Protective Aura

記得大二在學習社會心理學時有教到「香水是為了鞏固自己和他人的邊界」的概念,所以每次聞到他人的香水味時,都像是被他人製造的結界打到。

I remember learning in my sophomore year’s social psychology class about the idea that “perfume serves to reinforce the boundaries between oneself and others.” Ever since then, whenever I catch a whiff of someone’s perfume, it feels as though I’ve been struck by a barrier they’ve created—a kind of invisible force field.

香水的氣味範圍,就是結界的範圍。

The reach of a fragrance defines the reach of that barrier.

市場 The Markets

中秋連假特地去吃好久沒吃的台中大麵羮,小時候都是阿嬤買回家吃,以前不覺得稀奇,出社會後偶爾會想起那個獨特的味道,就會特地跑去吃,而且一定要是這一家!

During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, I made a special trip to have Taichung Dàmiàngēng (Taichung-style savory soup noodles), which I hadn’t eaten in a long time. When I was little, my grandma always bought it home for us. Back then, it didn’t feel like anything special, but after I started working, I’d occasionally remember that unique taste and make a special trip to get it—and it absolutely had to be from this particular shop!

雖然價格變貴了,小菜好像也縮水了,但味道還是跟我小時候吃到的一樣,感動!

Even though the price is higher now, and the side dishes seem a bit smaller, the flavor remains exactly as I remember from childhood—touchingly familiar!

修養

很明顯的這近三年我對人的好奇心大幅下降,所謂對人的好奇心就是我依然可以想到無數個問題來讓對方做揭露,但問題在腦中浮現之後我會馬上有另個反應讓我不向對方提出任何問題。

那個反應就是——「其實我不在意你」。
