【英语时差8,16】曼谷机场的恶魔
时间：2019-02-15 作者：英语课 分类：英语时差8，16
You would have thought it hard to miss one six-metre-high scowling 1 demon 2 let alone twelve. But the authorities at Bangkok's main airport say they are relocating their spirit statues to the check-in area, where they are thought more likely to be noticed and appreciated by passengers. Local media are reporting the real reason for the move is that airport staff had come to believe the figures, collectively worth almost $1m, had brought them bad luck. Last year the airport was blockaded for eight days by political protestors, resulting in a big loss in earnings 3. But moving the statues is not a matter to be taken lightly. Buddhists 4 believe the demons 5 to be symbols of anger, strength and power. Some astrologers are warning that shifting them to a new location might bring more bad luck and have suggested a safer option might be simply to turn them around to face a different direction.
