There you are, minding your own business, when your eye starts to spasm out of control. It’s a very annoying feeling which can persist for hours. But is there any cause for alarm? Trinidadians have quite a rich collection of superstitions concerning jumping eyes.

Superstitions aside, the short answer is that a twitching eye is totally fine, although in some exceptional cases it may underlie a neurological condition.

有时候，当你专注于做事的时候，你的眼皮开始不受控制地跳动。这是一种令人很烦躁的感觉，有时会持续几个小时。怎么会这样？对此特立尼达人有许多迷信的解释。比如，如果是右眼皮跳，那么你将会听到好消息；而如果是左眼皮跳，那么你会听到不好的消息。抛开迷信解释不谈，对于眼皮跳原因的简短解释是，没啥大碍。虽然，在个别情况下它可能是某种神经疾病的起因。
