Lesson 129 Seven Years' Bad Luck
第129課 七年的背運(yùn)
I have a very superstitious friend called Mack.
我有個(gè)非常迷信的朋友名叫麥克。
He thinks that if he breaks a mirror, he will have seven years' bad luck.
他認(rèn)為他若打破鏡子,他將會(huì)有七年的背運(yùn)。
As a result, Mack doesn't have any mirrors in his house.
因此,麥克的屋子里什么鏡子也沒有。
But not all superstitions are about bad luck.
不過,并非所有的迷信都與背運(yùn)有關(guān)。
For instance, Mack also believes that if he drops his chopsticks, someone will invite him to dinner.
舉例來說,麥克也相信他若把筷子掉下去,就會(huì)有人請(qǐng)他吃晚餐。
So, Mack is always dropping his chopsticks and waiting for an invitation.
因此,麥克總是把筷子掉下去,然后等著別人來邀請(qǐng)。
