第3056期:Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th is a date that many people around the world connect with bad luck.

“13号星期五”是世界各地许多人认为与厄运相关的一个日期。

This idea comes from a superstition, a belief that something can bring good or bad luck even if there is no proof.

这种观念来自迷信——即认为某些事物会带来好运或厄运，即使没有任何证据支持。

People have long considered both the number 13 and the day Friday unlucky.

人们长期以来都认为数字13和星期五这一天是不吉利的。

The number 12 is often viewed as complete or balanced, so 13 feels unusual or unlucky in comparison.

数字12通常被视为完整或平衡的象征，因此与之相比，13显得不寻常甚至不吉利。

That is why some buildings skip the 13th floor, and people avoid making big plans on that date.

这也是为什么一些建筑会跳过13层，以及人们会避免在这一天做重要计划。

In history, Friday was linked with sad or serious events, such as the crucifixion of Jesus.

在历史上，星期五曾与悲伤或重大事件相关，例如耶稣的受难。

One famous event that may have contributed to the fear was the arrest of many members of the Knights Templar on Friday, October 13, 1307.

一个可能加深这种恐惧的著名事件是：1307年10月13日星期五，许多圣殿骑士团成员被逮捕。

Over time, the date became more well-known through books, scary stories, and horror movies.

随着时间推移，这一天通过书籍、恐怖故事和恐怖电影变得更加广为人知。

Today, some people are afraid of the date, a fear known as paraskevidekatriaphobia.

如今，一些人对这一天感到恐惧，这种恐惧被称为“十三号星期五恐惧症”（paraskevidekatriaphobia）。

But there is no proof it brings bad luck, many people just treat it like any other day.

但并没有证据表明它真的会带来厄运，许多人只是把它当作普通的一天来看待。
