1. Friday the 13th is a bad day. 13号星期五不吉利(黑色星期五) The reason that Friday 13th in particular is unlucky is due to the massacre of the Knights Templar by Phillip IV of France on Friday the 13th. 这一天之所以被视为不详之日是因为1307年10月13日(星期五)上午法国国王腓力四世下令逮捕并屠杀境内所有的圣殿骑士团成员。 2. Bird pooing on you is good luck. 鸟粪掉身上是走运的象征 One theory of this is the sort of karma logic that assumes, if something bad happens to you, then something good must happen to balance out the karma. 这个理论是源于对因果报应的假设，如果你碰到一件糟心事，那么之后必要有好运来抵掉这件坏事以形成因果报应。 3. A black cat crossing your path is considered bad luck. 路遇黑猫意味不详 In the old, superstitious days, witches could transform themselves into black cats. If one crossed your path, it meant a witch was watching you. 古时候人们迷信女巫们会化身为黑猫。所以如果你在路上碰见了黑猫，这意味着有女巫盯上你了。 4. Atchoo (bless you) 有人打喷嚏(要对他说上帝保佑你) This comes from a plague that was spreading in 590 A.D. Italy where most people who sneezed would die. The pope urged others to bless such people and pray for them that they might become better. |
