疫情少了遊客，國家公園野生動物暢遊山林Wildlife roams the trails undisturbed during the pandemic

COVID-19 has hurt humans and many small businesses in Taiwan, but wild animals have been beneficiaries of it.

Since the Level 3 coronavirus alert was imposed in Taiwan a month ago, the number of visitors to Shei-Pa National Park has dropped dramatically. However, this has given wild animals the opportunity to roam the trails undisturbed.

A YouTube channel has also been set up by the national park headquarters where people can watch videos about the ecology of the national park without disturbing the animals during the pandemic.

友善讓你懂｜解說：

雖然COVID-19疫情傷害了人類和台灣諸多中小企業，但野生動物卻是這波疫情下的受益者。

自從一個月前全台升三級警戒後，雪霸國家公園的遊客數量銳減，而這也讓野生動物有機會不受干擾地在山間道路漫遊。

國家公園總部還建立了YouTube頻道，讓民眾可以在疫情期間不打擾動物們，而能觀看與國家公園生態相關的影音。

輕鬆帶著走｜學習：

undisturbed 指的是「不受打擾的」，為形容詞，是生活中常見的詞彙。

例句：New parents are looking forward to a undisturbed eight-hour sleep. 新手父母都很期待能擁有八小時不受干擾的安靜睡眠。
