【CULTURE】神吐槽西方人的20大迷信Superstitions.

世上总有些疯狂又诡异的迷信存在。据我所知，这类迷信数量极其庞大，您也可以自由补充。 These are some crazy and weird superstitions. Feel free to add some more, I know there are so many of them in this world.
FROM INTERNET.

第一条：数字“13”。
01: The number 13.
这只是个数字。但是，每逢13号的礼拜五，人们普遍都会焦虑。很多机场没有13号登机口(好吧，你们真的以为12A登机口的乘客们不会发觉吗？)很多宾馆也没有13楼。
It’s just a number. Yet, people tweak on Friday the 13th. Many airports don’t have a gate #13. (Like the folks at 12A won’t figure it out.) Many hotels don’t have a floor #13.
人们告诉我，这个关于数字13的迷信来自叛徒犹大。他是那个坏信徒，是那个在“最后的晚餐”中第13个坐下的人。我觉得与其迷信13， 不如迷信“坏信徒会带来厄运”，这样更理智些。 I was always told that the superstition is based on the idea that Judas, the bad disciple, was the 13th man to sit down to the table at The Last Supper. I think a more rational superstition would be to fear bad disciples.


第二条：在窗边挂一只橡果可以防止被闪电击中。
02. An acorn at the window will keep lightning out。
唔…真是神奇的橡果啊。
That is some acorn.

第五条：如果船上有猫，预示着会有好运。 05 A cat onboard a ship is considered to bring luck。
我曾经在船上住过。猫绝对是个累赘。船上的角角落落都是它藏身、大小便的地方；甚至连机械装置都被破坏成了一片片的。有谁会愿意负责清理那些垃圾桶？垃圾桶可不是什么吉祥玩意儿。 I used to live on a ship. A cat would have been a real drag. All of those spaces to hide in, poop in, pee in? All of that machinery to get torn to pieces in? And who exactly would have been in charge of cleaning the litter boxes? Litter boxes are never lucky。


第六条：如果三个人一起拍照，中间的那个会最先死掉。 06 If three people are photographed together, the one in the middle will die first。
我不知道它是真是假，但这条让我毛骨悚然。 I can’t rationalize it, but this one just gives me the shivers。


第七条：经过墓地的时候，如果你把双手插在兜里，便能保护你的父母。 07 If you stick your hands in your pocket while walking past a graveyard, it will protect your parents。
我不禁好奇：假如我把里兜翻出来会发生什么？或者，假如我脱掉裤子摇摇手臂，又会发生些啥？ Makes me wonder what happens if I turn my pockets inside out. Or, take off my pants and wave my arms around.


第九条：如果蜡烛熄灭，说明附近有邪恶灵魂。 09 If a candle blows out, evil spirits are nearby。
或者也可能只是有阵风。 Or, there’s a draft.
