7. Triskaidekaphobia – fear of the number
数字13恐惧症——害怕数字13
The number 13 has a long history of unluckiness in the Western world, leading some people to fear that seemingly innocuous pairing of a one and a three. And if the 13th of the month falls on a Friday, then it’s a double whammy. In Japan, Korea, and China, replace 13 with the number 4, which has all kinds of nasty connotations with death.
13在西方被视为不吉利可谓由来已久,以致有些人看到13就没来由地害怕。而且,如果一个月的13号恰好是星期五的话,晦气更是严重。在日本、韩国和中国,数字4则被视为不吉利,绕来绕去总好像跟死亡有关。
8. Fear of sink holes
害怕排水洞
No name for this rather specific phobia. Sufferers experience fear and unease upon seeing a sinkhole, particularly the glory holes used to drain water from dams. People describe the fear of being unable to see the bottom or of being sucked in. Some even describe the feeling that the sinkhole could be connected to some other terrible dimension, and the sense of an otherwordly force pulling them in.
这种恐惧症目前还没有名称。患症者看到排水洞会感到害怕不自在,尤其是那种脏兮兮的大坝排水口;他们觉得那就像是能把人吸进去的无底洞。有些人还联想到更可怕的方面,好像是地狱口要把人拉进去一样。
