聲景導聆 :

當我在台灣北部的低海拔山區露營，經常可以聽到一種很奇妙的聲音在森林中迴盪。這種金屬音只獨存在這座島上，因為牠是台灣特有蟬的一種合聲。而我意識到能發出如此響亮聲音的昆蟲有多麼嬌小時，總是令人深深著迷。當然，由於牠們有著迷彩顏色的圖案，讓你很難用眼睛發現牠們的存在。因此，來到自然野地時，我們應該隨時打開耳朵認真聆聽。

Camping in the low altitude mountains of Northern Taiwan, one can often hear a very strange sound resonating in the forests. This metallic sound can be heard only in this island, since it is the chorus of one of the endemic cicada species of Taiwan. It is always fascinating to realize how small are the insect that produce such a loud sound. And of course, because of their camouflage color patterns they are very difficult to spot with the eyes. So, while visiting natural habitats, we should always keep our ears wide open.
