[00:03.10]星期五与十三号

[00:06.19]Firday the Thirteenth has long been considered extremely unlucky

[00:15.86]because it has some bad associations

[00:18.53]长久以来13号的星期五被看作不祥之日,因为在圣经故事,

[00:21.21]which originaeted from some mythological 1 tales of the Bilbe and other folk customs.

[00:25.69]其他民间习俗中这一天有一些不好的联想。

[00:30.17]According to the Bible,the Lord God created the first man,Adam.

[00:34.00]圣经宣称,上帝创造了第一个男人亚当。

[00:37.83]Then he took a rib 2 from Adam's body and out of it created the first woman.Eve.

[00:42.25]然后用亚当的一根肋骨创造了第一个女人夏娃。

[00:46.68]It was said that Adam was created on a Friday and it was on Friday

[00:51.96]that Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit,and they died on a Friay.too.

[00:56.69]据说上帝也是在星期五造的亚当, 而亚当我夏娃又是在星期五偷吃了禁果,也是在星期五死去的。

[01:01.41]Friday was also the common day in English for executing criminals.

[01:08.57]For this reason it was sometimes known as the Hanging Day.

[01:24.82]古老的挪威神话使人们相信13个人同桌进餐是不吉利的。

[01:27.75]And this superstition 3 was confirmed

[01:32.47]by the Last Supper of Christ and his disciples 4.

[01:35.20]这个迷信观念又被基督和他的门徒最后的晚餐进一步证实

[01:37.93]The Bible tells us that Christ sat down with his 12 disciples.

[01:45.38]which made up the number 13,at the Last Supper when Judas,

[01:52.74]one of the 12 disciples,sold his master for thirty pieces of silver.

[01:56.68]圣经告诉我们当基督的12个门徒之一犹大为了30块银币出卖了他的主时,基督正与他的12个门徒(一共是13人)坐在一起,共进最后的晚餐。

[02:00.61]Christ was killed by being nailed on the cross the following day.

[02:07.09]which was also a Friday.
