原文及翻译

I am not superstitious, are you? 

我不迷信，你呢？

Yesterday was Friday the 13th. Some people think that Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. I think that it is just like any other day. Some people believe that if a black cat crosses your path, you will have bad luck. I don't believe that either. My mother always gets upset if I open an umbrella in the house. She says that is bad luck. She is probably right about that one because an open umbrella would take up a lot of space and you might knock things over. 

昨天是 13 号星期五。有些人认为 13 号星期五是个不吉利的日子。我认为它和其他日子没什么不同。有些人认为如果有一只黑猫从你面前经过，你就会倒霉。我也不相信。如果我在家里撑开雨伞，我妈妈总是会不高兴。她说那会带来厄运。她可能说对了，因为撑开的雨伞会占用很多空间，你可能会撞倒东西。

If your left hand is itchy, you are supposed to get money. I have had an itchy left hand before, but I haven't received any money because of it. It is bad to walk under a ladder. That is probably true because you might knock somebody off the ladder or have a can of paint fall on top of you. 

如果你的左手发痒，你就应该得到钱。我以前左手发痒过，但我没有因此得到任何钱。从梯子下面走过是不好的，这可能是真的，因为你可能会把别人从梯子上撞下来，或者油漆会掉在你身上。

If you are acting in a play, it is bad luck if someone says "good luck" to you. This is very confusing. You are supposed to tell an actor to "break a leg", it doesn't mean you want the actor to break his leg, it means good luck to the actor. Actors have a lot of superstitions that are very unusual. 

如果你在演戏，如果有人直接对你说“祝你好运”，那就是厄运，这很令人困惑。你应该告诉演员“break a leg”，这并不意味着你希望演员摔断腿，这意味着祝演员好运。演员有很多非常不寻常的迷信。

I am not superstitious, I don't believe in superstitions at all. It is just fun to learn about superstitions. Some of them are very old and have been passed down from generation to generation. I once did a project at school on superstitions. It was a very interesting topic and I got a good mark for it.

我不迷信，我根本不相信迷信。了解迷信只是很有趣，其中一些非常古老，代代相传。我曾经在学校做过一个关于迷信的项目，这是一个非常有趣的话题，我得到了很好的分数。
