他在日月潭弄丟 iPhone，一年後失而復得Tourist loses iPhone on Sun Moon Lake, recovers it one year later

Taiwan is experiencing its worst drought in more than half a century; however, it also gave a tourist the opportunity to recover his iPhone.

Last March, the tourist placed his iPhone in a plastic waterproof phone pouch and wore the phone around his neck while paddle boarding on Sun Moon Lake.He lost his balance and dropped his iPhone into the lake. Over a year later, his phone was found lying on the dry lakebed, and the phone’s operating system and functions were miraculously normal. He got his iPhone back!

友善讓你懂｜解說：

台灣目前正經歷半世紀多以來最嚴重的旱災，但這也讓一位遊客的 iPhone 有機會失而復得。

去年 3 月，這位遊客在日月潭划槳時，事先把他的 iPhone 放在塑膠防水手機袋裡，並掛在脖子上。只是划槳時一不小心，他失去平衡，iPhone 也掉入湖中了。沒想到一年多後，有人發現他的手機躺在乾涸的湖底，且手機的作業系統、其他功能竟然都奇蹟般地能正常運作。他的 iPhone 回來了！

輕鬆帶著走｜學習：

recover 指的是經過不好狀況後的「回復」，例如：失而復得、經濟復甦、恢復健康等等狀態，都可以用 recovery 來描述，可以用做動詞或名詞。

例句：

It took a long time for the tourism industry to recovery from COVID-19. 疫情過後，觀光產業花了一段時間才恢復。
