双语读俚语 | 揭秘：黑猫，数字13会带来不幸的说法从何而来？

人们普遍认为数字13是不吉利的，但是它真正的来源尚不清楚。世界上存在几种不同的说法：基督教传说（在《最后的晚餐》中，犹大坐在餐桌的第13位）；北欧海盗传说（魔术师的洛基神是第13位神）；波斯十二宫传说（其中有12个星座，数字13代表混乱）。

The belief that the number 13 is unlucky is so widespread that its true origins are unclear. Theories link it to Christian tradition (related to the Last Supper, where Judas is said to have sat at the 13th place at the table); Viking lore (the trickster god Loki being the 13th god); and the Persian zodiac (in which there are 12 signs, leaving the number 13 to represent chaos).
