[color=#000000][font=宋体]  [/font][font=Times New Roman]9) Carrying a rabbit's foot brings good luck. [/font][font=宋体]提起兔脚可交好运。[/font][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=宋体]  这其中有些迷信有其流传的说法,但不少无从考证。如:在英美等国人们都喜欢猫,但对黑猫却有种种的禁忌。在英国,人们常把黑猫与巫婆联系在一起。巫婆在英国文化中是一个令人憎恶的形象:老太婆,头戴尖帽,骑一把扫帚,到处“兴风作浪”。而传说中,巫婆身边常有一只黑猫陪伴。所以直到今天,不少人仍认为黑猫主凶。[/font][font=Times New Roman] [/font][/color]
