With countries imposing lockdown to block
the spread of the virus, the Icelandic Forestry Service has taken a weird
approach to the situation.
隨著各國實施封鎖措施防堵病毒傳播，冰島林業局採取一個奇怪的方法處理這種情況。
The Icelandic Forestry Service has asked
citizens to hug trees and plants while maintaining social distancing. Forest
rangers at Hallormsstaður National Forest in East Iceland are cleaning up the
snow from roads so locals can go and hug trees.
冰島林業局讓公民去抱樹與植物，同時保持社交距離。冰島東部Hallormsstaður國家森林的森林保育員，正在清理路上的積雪，以便當地人可以去抱樹。
"When you hug [a tree], you feel it
first in your toes and then up your legs and into your chest and then up into
your head," forest ranger Þór Þorfinnsson tells the Icelandic National
Broadcasting Service. "It’s such a wonderful feeling of relaxation and
then you’re ready for a new day and new challenges."
「當你抱住（一棵樹），你會感覺到它先是出現在你的腳趾，接著上到你的小腿，並且進入你的胸膛，進入你的頭」，森林保育員索芬森告訴冰島國家廣播公司，「這是一個奇妙的放鬆感受，然後你就會準備好面對新的一天與新的挑戰」。
Þorfinnsson recommends that not everyone
should embrace the first tree they see; potential huggers should venture deeper
into the forest.
索芬森建議，不是每個人都應該擁抱看見的第一棵樹，有潛力的擁抱者應該冒險進入森林深處。
