人間天堂一帛琉Palau
Natural beauty abounds on these islands and in the ocean around them
海洋仙境 處處美景
帛琉這個西太平洋島國,提供遊客一個探索大自然絕美景致的機會;巨大珊瑚礁環繞著絕大部分的島嶼,給予人們跳水與浮的良機。
帛琉水域比世界上任何與其大小雷同之區域擁有更多海洋生物物種。
令人嘆為觀止的多樣動植物種類,無不讓潛水客感到目眩神迷。
舉例來說,洛克群島南方潟湖的珊瑚礁便由三百八十五種不同種類的珊瑚所組成;而該區清激的海水則使得這片珊瑚美景更容易被看見。
除了珊瑚礁之外,潛水客還可以探素水底洞穴,特別是可能名列為帛琉風景最優美之潛水地點一藍洞。
此外,二次世界大戰期間遭毀壞的船隻與飛機留下之殘駭所散發出的鬼魅般氣息也紛紛召唤著潛水客前往朝聖。
帛琉洛克群島南方潟湖已獲登錄為世界遺產;其珊瑚礁岩,連同四百四十五個形似蘑菇的島嶼,供養維持著多樣動物的生命。
該區還包含了已經存在三千年的小島嶼社群組織遺址。

For example, the coral reefs of Rock Islands Southern Lagoon are composed of 385 different species of coral. And the area's clear water makes it easy to see them. In addition to coral reefs, divers can explore underwater caves, especially Blue Holes, which may be Palau's most scenic dive. Ghostly remains of ships and planes that were wrecked during World War II also call to divers. Palau's Rock Islands Southern Lagoon has been named a World Heritage site. Its coral reefs, along with its 445 mushroom-shaped islands, sustain a great variety of animals. It also contains the remains of small island communities that have existed for 3,000 years.

ghostly vs. haunted
back to that word "ghostly," sometimes I think of the word... or that makes me think of the word "haunted. You know, we talk about haunted houses that sometimes people make in an amusement park for fun.
Or maybe there's an area or a house in your... city that people think is haunted.
Well, we might use the word "ghostly" as well because it seems like kind of strange and eerie怪異 when you visit these types of places.
