Translating passage

Superstition is a part of British culture today. Although superstition was more alive a hundred years ago, there are still many superstitious people around now, both young and old.

All superstition has grown from something, since there is no smoke without fire. Who was the first one to decide that opening an umbrella in a house is bad luck? Who was the first to walk under a ladder and suffer the consequences? Who hung a horseshoe the wrong way up, smashed a mirror and spilled the salt? Who first branded Friday 13th as a day on which luck would run out?

Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth century life was hazardous, and the central feature of day-to-day existence was a preoccupation with finding explanations for fortune and misfortune. Religion, diseases and fire might have been the most essential elements in the background of the beliefs of superstition. Even though we are not searching for the same answers today superstition is still with us as a tradition.

迷信是当今英国文化中的一部分。尽管迷信活动在100年前更为活跃，但现在仍有不少相信迷信的人，有老人也有年轻人。

所有的迷信都有其根源，所谓无火不起烟。是谁第一个认为在屋里打伞会带来厄运？是谁第一个走在梯子下而遭遇不幸？是谁把马蹄铁倒挂？是谁打碎了镜子？是谁洒了盐？是谁第一个把13号星期五看成是最倒霉的日子？

16和17世纪时，人们的生活中充满了碰运气的成分，每天的生

活中心都在于为祸福找解释。宗教、疾病、火灾也许称得上是迷信的三大最基本的要素。尽管今天我们寻求的答案已经不同，但是迷信作为一种传统仍然流传在我们中间。

Translating passage

Whenever women’s liberation is mentioned, there are often two reactions. One is that this is just a bunch of frustrated women. The other is that this is something that is a white thing, which doesn’t concern black women.

The truth is that the exploitation of black women goes deeper than that of white women.

We should realize the need for the women of the black nation to have a liberation movement of women as part of our movement for total liberation of our people.

The black man has been led to believe that office and skilled jobs are given to the black woman by the white capitalists to make the black man feel inferior. In reality, there aren’t enough jobs for everyone, and the black woman suffers the most from low pay and unemployment.
