But not all superstitions 2 are aboutbad luck. For instance, Mack also believesthat if he drops his chopsticks, someone willinvite him to dinner. So, Mack is always drop-ping his chopsticks and waiting for an invita-tion.
七年的背运
我有个非常迷信的朋友名叫麦克。他认为他若打破镜子，他将会有七年的背运。因此，麦克的屋子里什么镜子也没有。不过，并非所有的迷信都与背运有关。举例来说，麦克也相信他若把筷子掉下去，就会有人请他吃晚餐。因此，麦克总是把筷子掉下去，然后等着别人来邀请。
