我在植標館的速寫本很簡單，我放掉我那些很個人化的眼光，用客觀的方式記錄幾棵種子的生長，而現在這個工作暫時告一段落。有一天館裡的工作人員問我有關速寫本的內容，原來她把本子當作一本書在欣賞，讓我很感動。我不禁想，要是收到一張只為她做的卡片呢？
My sketchbook in the herbarium can't be more simple. There are no idiosyncratic drawings at all. Instead, I tried to record the growth of three seeds objectively. And as my job item had changed, this task came to an end. One day, a staff member asked me about the sketches inside. It wasn't until then that I realized that she read it as a real book, which greatly touched me. So I couldn't help wondering, what if she receives a card solely for her?
又有一天，我看著貴美用珍惜的心情打開電子信箱裡一封遠從日本寄來的電子問候卡，我不禁想，如果她收到一張真實的卡片呢？
The other day I observed Guei-mei, another staff member open an email from Japan with an attached electronic card, with so much love. I couldn't help thinking, what if she gets a real card?
可是送卡片時我卻是那麼膽小，我不好意思看大家的反應，於是很迂迴地把卡片托給貴美便先行離開，也許很多時候我也害怕面對自己的感情吧！
But I was such a coward when I gave away the cards. So afraid to know everyone's reaction, I placed them under Guei-mei's care and left before they figured out what I was up to. Maybe there are times when I don't have the guts to face my own feelings....
