[00:15] 為什麼俊宇想當警察?
很多人當警察是為了討一口飯吃，警察是公務員也是鐵飯碗，因此俊宇選擇讀警校。讀警校時每個月都有一萬多塊的零用金可以領。警校是高中畢業才可以去應考，台灣有分警察大學和警專學校，都是高中畢業可以去考。
討一口飯吃 tǎo yī kǒu fàn chī – “to earn a living”, refers to doing a job to make ends meet and to support oneself and one’s family
鐵飯碗 tiě fàn wǎn – “iron rice bowl”, a job that provides a secure and stable income, especially a government job with benefits and job security
應考 yìng kǎo – taking an entrance exam
警專學校 jǐng zhuān xué xiào – police vocational schools
[01:35] 為什麼俊宇不當軍人?
俊宇認為軍人更封閉更官僚，所以選擇當警察，比較接地氣一點。他不習慣太死板的生活，而且軍旅生涯單調，當兵就是打雜的事情比較多，比如除草。他認為公務機關跟傳統產業一樣官僚，綁手綁腳很多事情不能做，不成文的規定很多。
但他也認為，大團體生活都是幾千個人為單位，而團體生活就會有一些莫名其妙的規定，比較一板一眼。訂這些規定就是要讓管理單純化，比如宿舍的門禁，有些人如果不給他門禁的話，會出亂子的。
封閉 fēng bì – being closed off or isolated
官僚 guān liáo – refers to a system of government or organization characterized by complex procedures, hierarchical structures, and a lot of bureaucracy

[03:53] 不同種類的警察
警察分交通、刑事、行政三大面向。俊宇負責行政工作，做文書處理和警政工作的推動。如果警政署的政策要推動、執行，都是俊宇他們負責。比如派出所擔服務務，值班、巡邏、備勤等第一線面對民眾的工作，也是俊宇他們在背後幫忙訂一些處理的SOP流程。他做的是規劃、計畫方面的幕僚工作。

[04:46] 還有哪些警察工作?
俊宇以前跑過前線，在派出所當過所長。他告訴我們，警察專科學校畢業後，都需要先待派出所一陣子，才會往比較幕僚的工作去。而警察大學不一樣，警察大學一畢業後就會被分發，有些會在分局的業務組裡工作，有些會去專業的警察單位，比如航空警察局或國道公路警察局工作。
前線 qián xiàn – frontline
所長 suǒ zhǎng – station chief
分發 fēn fā – to distribute
分局 fēn jú – sub-bureau
國道公路 guó dào gōng lù – national highways
[05:40] 俊宇覺得當警察好嗎?
俊宇覺得警察這個職務，不好不壞、不上不下，可以吃得飽、餓不死。這份工作讓他存有一筆積蓄，但他覺得這份工作發展的高度不多，能夠自我實現的空間也有限。
職務 zhí wù – job duties; job responsibilities; post; position
筆 bǐ – measure word for sums of money
積蓄 jī xù – savings
自我實現 zì wǒ shí xiàn – self-realization; self-actualization; the fulfillment of one’s own potential
[06:22] 當警察難嗎?
以前有個大學校長講了個經典名言，他認為民眾對於警察「期之如聖賢，用之如牛馬、視之如盜賊、棄之如敝屣。」
經典名言 jīng diǎn míng yán – widely accepted and long-standing saying or maxim
期之如聖賢 qí zhī rú shèng xián – regard with reverence like saints and sages

視之如盜賊 shì zhī rú dào zéi – view them as thieves
棄之如敝屣 qì zhī rú bì xǐ – discard them like old shoes
期之如聖賢- 民眾認為警察是執法者，所以都是以最高標準來看警察的言行舉動，心中也期待警察都道德高尚，認為這樣才可執行法律。民眾對警察有過高的期望，像是用顯微鏡來看警察。
執法者 zhí fǎ zhě – the executor of the law
言行舉動 yán xíng jǔ dòng – (of a person) behavior, conduct, and actions
道德高尚 dào dé gāo shàng – high level of moral character, showing a high degree of moral standards and principles
顯微鏡 xiǎn wéi jìng – microscope
用之如牛馬- 只要打110，警察24小時隨時在線。警察的工作面向有犯罪防治、交通順暢、服務民眾，而在為民服務這方面有點包山包海，民眾打電話到110時，原則上他們都不會拒絕派遣員警過去。
犯罪防治 fànzuì fángzhì – crime prevention and control
交通順暢 jiāotōng shùnchàng – smooth traffic flow
包山包海 bāo shānbāo hǎi – a lot of responsibilities or tasks; everything and anything
派遣 pàiqiǎn – dispatch or send (someone) on a mission or assignment
視之如盜賊-在交通違規的部分，大家最常跟警察接觸。很多人每次都覺得，為什麼這麼小的事情警察也要來抓。
交通違規 jiāotōng wéi guī – traffic violation
接觸 jiē chù – come into contact with
棄之如敝屣-警察常常處理糾紛，兩方有爭執時，勢必有一方，警察沒辦法照著他的意思走，此時這個人便會視警察為敝屣。
糾紛 jiū fēn – dispute or conflict
爭執 zhēng zhí – to argue or quarrel
勢必 shì bì – inevitably, necessarily
[08:45] 台灣警察 vs. 其他國家的警察
俊宇認為台灣警察服務Top1，服務比較貼心、親民。在國外，如果遇上扒手，遇到小偷搶匪，報警後都沒辦法有效抓到壞人。而莛莛在印尼時還被警察勒索過，警察告訴她:「我賺一點錢怎麼養家糊口?」，暗示莛莛包紅包給他。莛莛的印尼朋友很驚訝莛莛敢自己到巴厘島自助一個月，因為不只搶匪，當地人也很怕那邊的警察。每個國家國情不同，出過國之後，才會發現台灣治安很好。

親民 qīn mín – close to the people; people-oriented
扒手 pá shǒu – pickpocket
搶匪 qiǎng fěi – robber

[11:25] 俊宇曾經看過讓人傻眼的勁爆事情嗎?
台灣警察的風紀在新北市周人蔘電玩弊案後就有非常顯著的改變，整個被導正。台灣警察以前會跟電玩業者跟風化場所業者有一些掛鉤，喜歡給警察送禮，直接送警察現金。在以前，如果在辦公室抽屜發現一包錢，處理的方式很兩難。
第一個選擇是收下，同流合污；第二個選擇是把錢退給對口，但退了後就會被其他警察孤立，因為其他警察害怕你去檢舉、去舉報；第三種方式是捐掉。而現在整治後，已經比較不會看到這樣的事情了。
傻眼 shǎ mián – dumbfounded
勁爆 jìn bào – explosive; sensational
風紀 fēng jì – discipline; law and order
