Having Good and Bad Luck
Cesar: I can’t catch a break. Everything seems to be going wrong these days.
Olga: Maybe your streak 1 of bad luck is because you did something unlucky.
Cesar: What do you mean?
Olga: Have you walked under a ladder or crossed paths with a black cat lately?
Cesar: I don’t think so, but I’m not superstitious 2. I don’t believe breaking a mirror will bring me seven years of bad luck.
Olga: Say what you will, but it doesn’t hurt to take some precautions, especially the way things have been going for you.
Cesar: I don’t know...
Olga: Here, you can borrow my rabbit’s foot and my four-leaf clover. I’ll go home to get you a horseshoe so you can hang it upside down over your front door.
Cesar: I really doubt any of that is going to do me any good.
Olga: You know what tomorrow is, don’t you?
Cesar: The thirteenth?
Olga: Friday the thirteenth. Do you really want to take your chances?
Cesar: I guess not. Do you really think these good luck charms will help?
Olga: We’ll know on the fourteenth, won’t we?
Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
- The Indians used to streak their faces with paint.印第安人过去常用颜料在脸上涂条纹。
- Why did you streak the tree?你为什么在树上刻条纹？
- They aim to deliver the people who are in bondage to superstitious belief.他们的目的在于解脱那些受迷信束缚的人。
- These superstitious practices should be abolished as soon as possible.这些迷信做法应尽早取消。
