Today's halloween ghosts are often depicted as more fearsome and malevolent, and our customs and superstitions are scarier too. we avoid crossing paths with black cats, afraid that they might bring us bad luck. this idea has its roots in the middle ages, when many people believed that witches avoided detection by turning themselves into cats. we try not to walk under ladders for the same reason. this superstition may have come from the ancient egyptians, who believed that triangles were sacred; it also may have something to do with the fact that walking under a leaning ladder tends to be fairly unsafe. and around halloween, especially, we try to avoid breaking mirrors, stepping on cracks in the road or spilling salt.
今天的万圣节鬼魂通常被描绘成更加可怕和恶毒，我们的习俗和迷信也更加可怕。我们避免和黑猫过马路，担心它们会给我们带来坏运气。这一观念起源于中世纪，当时许多人认为女巫通过把自己变成猫来逃避侦查。我们尽量不要出于同样的原因走在梯子下面。这种迷信可能来自古埃及人，他们认为三角形是神圣的；也可能与在倾斜的梯子下行走是相当不安全的事实有关。尤其是万圣节前后，我们尽量避免打破镜子、踩在路上的裂缝上或撒盐。
