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.
就像需要过渡性客体的孩子一样，成年人在过渡时期也需要慰藉。当成年人面临生活中的变化（例如开始一份新工作或搬到另一个城市）时，安全感小物可以帮助他们适应。看著他们所爱的人的照片可以提醒他们并不孤单。与物品建立情感联系可以在他们适应新环境时提供一种熟悉感。显然地，只有儿童有安全感小物的想法根本不正确。
生活必备字词：
depend on... 依靠∕仰赖……
adjust vi. 适应
apparently adv. 显然地；似乎
