Just like children who depend on transitional objects, adults also need comfort during times of transition. When adults face change in their lives, such as starting a new job or moving to a different city, a comfort object can help them adjust. Looking at photos of people they love can remind them that they are not alone. Having an emotional connection with an object can provide a familiar feeling while they adapt to a new environment. Apparently, the idea that comfort objects are only for children simply isn’t true.
就像需要過渡性客體的孩子一樣，成年人在過渡時期也需要慰藉。當成年人面臨生活中的變化（例如開始一份新工作或搬到另一個城市）時，安全感小物可以幫助他們適應。看著他們所愛的人的照片可以提醒他們並不孤單。與物品建立情感聯繫可以在他們適應新環境時提供一種熟悉感。顯然地，只有兒童有安全感小物的想法根本不正確。
生活必備字詞：
depend on... 依靠∕仰賴……
adjust vi. 適應
apparently adv. 顯然地；似乎
