參加馬拉松，終於可以不用戴口罩了 Marathon participants can run without mask

Here’s some good news for runners! Participants in the 2021 Taipei Marathon will be able to remove their mask during the run.

Taiwan is going to relax Level 2 epidemic prevention restrictions starting in October. Runners will be allowed to take the mask off if they provide certification of COVID-19 vaccination or negative COVID test results.

However, masks will still be mandatory for them at the beginning and end of the marathon. In addition, the 12 foreign elite runners expected to participate in the race will still be required to comply with strict border controls.

友善讓你懂｜解說：

　
熱愛跑步者，這裡有個好消息！2021年台北馬拉松的參賽者，在跑步時可以不用戴口罩。

台灣將從10月起放寬二級防疫規定，因此如果參賽者提供COVID-19疫苗接種證明或陰性檢測證明，跑步時就可以摘下口罩。

不過，在比賽的一開始跟結束時，仍得強制戴上口罩；此外，本次預計參賽的12名外國菁英選手仍得遵守嚴格的邊境管制措施。

輕鬆帶著走｜學習：

　
comply 是「遵守、服從」，後面通常會加上with，代表須要遵守的規則或命令。

例句：
People who do not comply with border control are not allowed to enter the country.
無法遵守邊境管制者，將無法入境該國。
