一本好書《我是你的觀護人》A Good Book — I Am Your Probation Officer

發表於 由Ran撰寫

因為聽到報導者這集節目才知道了這位觀護人，才知道了什麼是觀護人以及這職業的工作內容是什麼。

It was through a podcast episode that I first learned about probation officers—and for the first time, began to understand what this profession actually entails.

很喜歡唐珮玲觀護人講話的口氣和方式，非常引人入勝。對她的好奇讓我買了她幾年前的著作，想知道更多關於觀護人與受保護管束人的故事。

I was immediately drawn to the tone and way Tang Pei-Ling, the probation officer interviewed, spoke. She was compelling and quietly powerful. My curiosity about her led me to pick up a book she wrote a few years ago, wanting to know more about both her and the people under her care.

變動 Change

發表於 由Ran撰寫

如今誰都會認知到目前是個充滿變動的時代，但要「承認」這個事實卻有心理上的障礙。

These days, everyone acknowledges that we’re living in a time of constant change—but truly accepting that reality comes with a psychological hurdle.

為什麼會有這種體會？因為我職場上的主管，民國4年級生，生活在政治相較單純、經濟起飛的年代，那時累積的經驗都是有用的，因為日子過得慢且都很相仿，明日是昨日的累積。

Why does it feel this way? I think of my boss at work, someone born in the 1950s, who grew up during a period of relative political stability and economic boom. Back then, the knowledge and experience one accumulated were useful for a long time, because life moved slowly and predictably. Tomorrow was simply an extension of yesterday.

三十 My Thirties

發表於 由Ran撰寫

今年三月是我35歲生日，這些文字是送給30至35歲的自己，也是給35歲之後的自己的祝福。

This March marks the month of my 35th birthday. These short articles are written for the me between 30 and 35 years old, as well as a greeting to the version of me after turning 35.

週遭仍一片黑
心卻有了亮光
因你而起
遠離哀傷 自憐
各自安好
愛原是溫暖 踏實
因你而知

Even though darkness still surrounds,
My heart has found a gentle glow.
It rises because of you—
Sorrow and self-pity fall away,
Each of us at peace in our own space.
For love is warmth, strong and sure—
And this I know, because of you.

偽大人 The Esteemed Adult

發表於 由Ran撰寫

怕丟臉的你、總是指著別人鼻頭批評的你，每當被觸及無防備之處便著急得惱羞成怒，漲紅臉的你，總算看起來像個人了。

You, who are so afraid of embarrassment. You, who always point fingers and criticize others. Yet the moment someone touches a vulnerable spot, you fly into a rage, face flushed with anger. For once, you actually look human.

小日子 Slow Days

發表於 由Ran撰寫

謝謝先生在男性生理期情緒低潮時做了這麼豐盛的晚餐，牛排好好吃😋

也謝謝先生只要生理期低潮時都會跟我說，我這次會記下來發生的時間，之後會慢慢統計出趨勢的，我便會在低潮期來臨前更體貼一點。

Thank you to my husband for preparing such a wonderful dinner during his hormonal low—those steaks were absolutely delicious. And thank you for always telling me when you’re feeling this way. This time, I’ll make a note of it. Over time, I’ll track the patterns, so that next time, I can be even more considerate before the low mood sets in.
