This Friday is "Black Friday"--a day that many Westerners are afraid of.$900 million are lost because many people don't want to fly or do business.There are 17 million people who are so scared that they don't get out of bed!What makes this day so scary?Being nervous about Friday 13th is a superstition.Superstitons are "being afraid of the unknown,believing in magic or chance".They often don't seem to make sense,but do have interesting origins.The number 13 is considered unlucky in many Christian countries.It is similar to the Asian dislike of the number 4.Many buildings don't have a 13th floor,planes usually don't have a 13th row of seats and in races,no one wants to wear the number 13.This is because it says in the Bible that Judas was the 13th guest at the Last Supper.Jesus is supposed to have been killed on a Friday.If "Friday" and "13" come together,it become even more unlucky.In Western culture,it is also unlucky to walk under ladders,open umbrellas indoors and to cross the path of a black cat.Lucky things include four-leafed clovers,horseshoes and even rabbit feet!There is a rhyme to help you remember the last lucky thing:a "penny":"Find a penny,pick it up;All the day you'll have good luck!"PS:please翻译得顺一点,3Q!(急~)
本周五是“黑色星期五”——这是一个令很多西方人担心的日子.9亿美元在这一天损失掉了,仅仅因为很多人不愿出行或者进行交易活动.其中有1700万人由于受惊过度甚至卧床不起!是什么令这一天如此可怕?对于13号的星期五如此紧张只是一种迷信现象.迷信是指“对未知的恐惧,相信机遇和魔力的作用”.他们通常看起来毫无道理,但是却有着有趣的来历.13这个数字在很多基督教国家被认为是不吉利的.这就好像亚洲人不喜欢数字4一样.很多房子里都没有第13层,飞机通常也不会有13行座位,而在赛跑的时候也没人想带着13号的号码牌.这是因为在圣经里记载了在最后的晚餐中犹大正是第13个宾客.而耶稣则被认为是在一个星期五死去的.如果“星期五”和“13”同时出现,他的噩运预示则会更加强烈.在西方文化中,走过梯子下方,在房内撑伞以及从黑猫经过的地方穿过都同样是不吉利的.而幸运物则有四叶苜蓿,马靴,甚至是兔子的脚印!这里有一个儿歌能帮助你记住最后这个幸运物:捡到一便士(penny还有兔子脚印的意思,这里是双关语),把他带身边,那么幸运将会伴你一整天!”
