答案

Superstition (迷信) is a difficult question.We cannot quite say that superstition in China is dead.Its history is too long and too recent for that,and indeed you will find many remains of it in modem Britain.But they are only connected chiefly with vague beliefs of good luck and bad luck.It is unlucky,for instance,to walk under a ladder,or to spill salt,or break a mirror,or to have anything to do with number 13; whereas a horseshoe brings good luck,and people jokingly "touch wood" to prevent the return of a past misfortune.There are still many strange country remedies against sickness which are obviously superstitions.Most of all,there is still a surprising amount of interest in fortune-telling,e.g.in the form of "horoscopes" (占星术) in newspapers and women's magazines — though for most people this is nothing more than an amusement,which they may well be slightly ashamed of.
