美国女巫上街施法对抗特朗普，遭基督徒斗法

At the stroke of midnight on last Saturday, a small group gathered outside Trump Tower in New York to cast a spell of “magical resistance” on the president.

上周六午夜钟声敲响之时，一小伙人聚在了位于纽约的特朗普大楼外，一起对总统施放了一个“魔法抵抗”咒语。

The mass spell, which was organized by self-identified magician Michael Hughes, is a binding spell — meaning it’s intended to restrain Trump’s power, rather than cause harm.

这个群体咒语是由自我认定为魔术师的迈克尔·修斯组织的，这是一个有约束力的咒语，就是说它的目的是限制特朗普的权力而不是造成伤害。

凯蒂·波因可是一个数据科学家兼诗人，她说自己“定期施咒，”并表示，“在不旷工的情况下，”自己也在“用各种可能的方式进行抵抗，而且也可能会用到咒术。”
