翻譯下這段吧
While such a system would not be of much use in tropical forests that are abruptly, and obviously, destroyed by human logging activity, audio recording systems could listen for changes in the symphony of cricket calls in forests that are starting to be fragmented by roads or becoming infiltrated by invasive species. Indeed, just as coalminers once knew that trouble was brewing if they heard a canary』s song abruptly stop, ecologists could eventually tell that ecosystem change is beginning to take place in a forest when they hear the chirps of key cricket species suddenly go silent.
雖然這種系統在遭到人類伐木活動突然破壞的熱帶森林中沒有多大用處，但在開始遭到道路分割或入侵物種滲透的森林中，音頻記錄系統可以傾聽蟋蟀交響樂的變化。事實上，就像煤礦工人一旦聽到金絲雀的歌聲突然停止，他們知道就會有麻煩一樣，生態學家最終可以在聽到關鍵蟋蟀物種的鳴叫聲突然停止時，判斷森林中的生態系統開始發生變化。
