7. Walking underneath a ladder is widely held to be bad luck. 從梯子下走不吉利
'Walking under a ladder' came about in England a few centuries ago when people drank more ale at lunch than ate food. Drunken sign painters were likely to dump a bucket of paint if you walked by or under their ladder and handymen would drop tools.
“從梯子下走不吉利”來源于英國幾個(gè)世紀(jì)前發(fā)生的事。在晚餐喝了過多的麥芽酒而沒吃多少食物之后,當(dāng)有人路過梯子或是從梯子下走,喝醉了的畫家們可能會(huì)將他們的油漆桶倒下去,雜務(wù)工要是喝醉了可能會(huì)將自己的工具丟下去。
