美文欣赏：关于数字的迷信（中英文）
In American superstitions, the number three is very important. Often, Americans will say, "All things come in threes." Three is lucky because it represents the traditional family: mother, father, and child. Therefore, gifts, letters, and guests will often arrive at your home in groups of three. However, it is also possible for bad events, like accidents and funerals, to come in threes as well.
在美国迷信中，数字“三”很重要。美国人常会说“无三不成礼”。三是个幸运数字，因为它代表了一个传统的家庭︰母亲，父亲和孩子。因此，礼物、信件和客人常常会成三出现在你的家。不过，事故和葬礼等不幸的事件也有可能会成三的出现。
Another time people pay attention to superstitions is when they get married. During a wedding, brides must wear or carry “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.” The old and borrowed things will bring luck to the person who gives them to the bride. The new and blue things will bring good fortune to the bride herself. The next time someone you know is getting married, be sure to recite this phrase.
人们留意迷信的另一个时刻是他们结婚的时候。婚礼中，新娘必须穿或带“一件旧的，一件新的，一件借来的和一件蓝色的东西。”旧的及借来的东西会给送东

西给新娘的人带来幸运。而新的和蓝色的东西会给新娘本人带来好运。下次你认识的人结婚的时候，一定要背这句话给她听。
As it would be unlucky to discuss one more superstition, we will wind things up here. Keep your fingers crossed, and stay lucky!
既然再讲一个迷信会倒霉，那我们就在这里结束吧。把食指和中指交叉，祈求好运而且永远走运！
