Tips:
1)stand for的义项很多,意义也是差的天上地下……在这里就是是代表,有……含义的意思。另外它还可以表示忍受,还有主张,拥护的意思
2)mingle with本意是混入,加入,现在常用来指交往,交际。比如在party上,想要玩得开心,就要努力mingle,挤人群呀
3.是不是bad luck,黑猫自己都不懂了
Black cats still grace many Halloween decorations. Although nowadays, in most parts of the UK, people think it’s actually good luck for a black cat to cross your path, and it’s really ancient to say that black cats are symbols of bad luck. But far back in the Dark Ages, when witch hunts were still commonplace, solitary women are often accused of witchcraft, and their most common partners, pet cats were said to be given by the devil. Another version of the medieval myth told that Satan turned himself into a cat when socializing with witches. So out of nowhere, black cats became bad luck. Fortunately, through centuries, those poor little things probably don’t even care about it.
黑猫元素现在依然是万圣节装饰的大热门。虽然现在我们说起黑猫这事,在英国大部分地区,人们都觉得路遇黑猫其实是好兆头,说黑猫是厄运实在是太陈词滥调了。不过真说起来,远在中世纪那会儿,猎女巫还是很常见的事,然而一般单身女子会被怀疑有作妖的嫌疑,她们最常见的伙伴,家猫,就被看作是恶魔赐予的礼物。还有一种说法是撒旦在跟女巫们往来的时候,化身成了一只猫。所以就这么莫名其妙的,黑猫成了厄运的象征。万幸的是,这么多年过去,这些小家伙估计从来就不在乎人们怎么说。
