Taiwan's Tiny but Beautiful Green Island

One of my favorite travel experiences in Taiwan was my trip to the tiny but beautiful Green Island, which is located off the southeast coast. To get to Green Island, my friend and I took a 50-minute boat ride from Taitung. While the boat ride was a bit rough, it was worth it when we saw the beautiful scene that was waiting for us on the other side.
When we arrived, we headed to Nanliao village, where we cooled off with some shaved ice that was topped with a Green Island specialty: seaweed! The shaved ice shop we chose had a jail-themed design that was inspired by Green Island's dark past. The island was once the place where political prisoners were sent.
Later that evening, we joined a wildlife tour offered by the bed-and-breakfast we stayed at. We hopped on our scooter and followed our tour guide around the island as he showed us animals and plants that call Green Island home. We spotted Formosan sika deer, goats, and even a rare type of stick insect.

 
綠島:台灣小而美的離島

我在台灣最喜歡的其中一個旅遊體驗是到小而美的綠島旅行,綠島就位在東南外海。為了到綠島,我和朋友從台東搭了五十分鐘的船。雖然船程有些顛簸,但當我們看到另一頭等著我們的美麗景色時一切都值得了。
我們抵達時就前往南寮村,在那裡我們吃了上面放著綠島特產:海草的刨冰來涼快一下!我們選的這間刨冰店是以監獄作為設計主題,其靈感來自綠島黑暗的過去。這個島曾是政治犯被送往的地方。
那天傍晚稍晚,我們參加了由投宿的民宿所提供的野生動物之旅。我們跳上摩托車跟著我們的導遊在島上四處逛,而他則一邊介紹棲息在綠島的動植物。我們看見了台灣梅花鹿、山羊,甚至一種罕見的竹節蟲。

It's best to let sleeping dogs lie.
旅遊泡泡

let sleeping dogs lie字面意思是「讓睡著的狗躺著」,也就是「不要去招惹睡覺的狗」,引申表示「過去的事就讓它過去吧;不要再去揭舊傷疤免得自找麻煩」。



類似的說法有:


• leave/let well enough alone
不要試圖改變已令人滿意的事(免得徒增事端)
此外,欲表示「讓事情順其自然」,英文可以說:
• let it be
隨它去吧
• leave things as they are
讓事情順其自然

========================================

A: I think Jane is still mad at me. Did she tell you anything?
我覺得珍還在生我的氣。她有跟你說什麼嗎?
B:  She’s definitely still mad at you.
她確實還在生你的氣。
A:  Maybe I should have a talk with her.
也許我應該跟她談一談。
B:  I don’t know. I think it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie.
我不知道。我覺得你先別自找麻煩了。
