"Birds like the whiskered tern, which are normally active at the river mouth and in inshore waters, will head inland for safety when there are big storms. Of course they don't know which places are protected and which aren't. So if they find only concrete parking lots where they can't find food, or roads packed with cars belching out choking fumes, where can they find a safe haven?"
「原本在淡水河口近海活動的黑腹燕鷗，當強風豪雨來襲時便會順流而上進來避風雨，牠們可不懂哪裡是保護區，哪裡不是，若飛行途中又是無處覓食的停車場，又是烏煙瘴氣的道路車流，哪裡才是鳥兒的避風港？」
