一群漂流者在大峡谷旅行了25天，才了解到新冠肺炎已经变成了全球大流行的疾病。

Californiaman Zach Edler, 27, Mason Thomas, 29, and SarahKnaack, are some of a group that were blissfully unaware of how COVID-19 haschanged the way of life in America and other parts of the world, while theystayed off the grid from February 19 to March 14.

27岁的加州男子Zach Edler，29岁的Mason Thomas和Sarah Knaack就在这群人之中，从2月19日到3月14日他们都“置身事外”，幸运地没有意识到COVID-19是如何改变了美国和世界其他地方的生活方式。

Whilethe friends are concerned for loved ones and the devastation going on in theworld, in some ways they wish they could go back to blissful ignorance.

当朋友们都在关心所爱的人和世界上正在发生的灾难时，某种程度上他们希望他们能重新回到幸福的无知中。

They only learned about the panicshopping and business closures from another guide upon completion of thejourney in Arizona.

他们在亚利桑那州旅行结束后，才从另一位导游那里得知了恐慌购物和企业关门的消息。

'He gave us a look, sighed,and then launched into it,' Elder explained. 'Half of us thought he was joking.It's like, here's an old river guide pulling our leg. I mean, I've heard somepretty big tales out on the river.'

“他看了我们一眼，叹了口气，然后就开始说。”Elder解释说：“我们中有一半人认为他在开玩笑。就像是一个老向导在跟我们开玩笑，我是指我听说过一些关于这条河流的传说。”

Knaack,who is a nurse, described a feeling of 'disbelief' but says the women on thetrip recognized that it was not a prank, sooner than the men.

Knaack是一名护士，她觉得“难以置信”，但她说，同一旅途里的女性比男性更早意识到这不是恶作剧。

Stillthey didn't realize the extent to which the pandemic had affected their usuallives.

但他们仍没有意识到疫情在多大程度上影响了他们的日常生活。

'Ithink the girls believed it right away,' Knaack told the Times. 'He said it inthis real ominous way but then he just walked away to see about lunch and wewere left nervously joking with ourselves totally unsure what was going on.'

“我觉得女士们马上就相信了。”Knaack告诉《泰晤士报》：“他用一种非常不吉利的方式说了这句话，然后他就走开去解决午饭的事情了，我们都紧张地互开玩笑，完全不知道发生了什么。”

'Thefirst one was from my mom,' Thomas said. 'It was like, "You need to textme the second you get this. The world is going crazy."' She'simmunocompromised so I was definitely worried.'

现实是显而易见的，当这些人在酒店过夜时，员工们都在保护卫生纸，这在世界各地的一些超市里已经是稀缺品了。

'Thelady at the hotel was like, "We have toilet paper; just don't stealit." And the TV was showing some sports game from the '80s or somethingand it was this reminder that, "Oh, everything's canceled",' Ms.Knaack said.

Knaack说：“酒店的女士说：‘我们有卫生纸，但你们千万别偷。’电视上播放着80年代的体育比赛之类的节目，提醒着我们：‘哦，一切都取消了。’

'It's like, "How'd we go from paradise to hoarding rice and beans?" Shesaid [en]that after another rafter accessed Amazon.com on their phone to search fortoilet roll and it wasn't available: 'That was a moment where it felt prettyreal.'
