Aside from superstitions for good luck, some more long-practiced customs have grown out of fears that are related to superstitions. Superstition-based customs are what most members of a society usually do todeal with the unknown. In Taiwan, for instance, the word for the number "four" sounds like the word for "death". Because of its association with death, the number four has long been considered an unlucky number by Taiwanese. The reason why people in the West often say "Bless you" when a person sneezes is also superstition-based. This phrase is used because some Westerners used to believe that devils might enter one's body when a person sneezes. Nowadays, because of changing ideas, some superstitious customs have been practiced in different ways. An artificial rabbit's foot, for example, is often used instead of a real one to avoid the killing of rabbits. However, many people still find comfort in following superstition-based customs. Though people are unable to predict the future, they still hope for a chance to try to control it. -Adapted from "A Rabbit's Foot and a Piece of Wood" 要翻譯再跟我說~ 2013-04-21 18:46:42 補充： todeal 改為to deal 2013-04-24 22:53:05 補充： 002 這不是英文吧 知識+ 首頁> 教育學習> "書刊雜誌"
