Number 13数字13
One of the most widespread superstitions is that thirteen is unlucky, and so general is this idea that many hotels do not have a room number thirteen.Some people will not start a trip on the 13th day of the month, especially if it happens to be a Friday. Various explanations have been given as to the origin of this superstition.The most popular explanation is that there were thirteen persons at the Last Supper, Judas being frequently represented as the thirteenth. The superstition about the number thirteen is universal. We can find it in France, England, throughout almost the whole of Europe, and in America.It has long been a matter of etiquette in France to avoid having exactly thirteen guests at a dinner or party, and the person who is invited to fill the fourteenth seat at the table is usually known as quatorizième.
一个广为流传的迷信是13这一数字不吉利。因此一般来说，许多酒店不设13号房间。一些人不愿意在13号出发旅行，如果那天恰逢星期五便更是如此。对这一迷信的来源，可谓众说纷纭。最普遍的说法是“最后的晚餐”中共有13人，出卖耶稣的犹大经常被描画为第13个人。数字13的迷信十分普遍，法国、英国等几乎所有的欧洲国家以及美国都有这种迷信。长久以来，法国的社交礼仪要求避免晚宴或聚会中正好有13位客人出席，而因此被邀请来凑数的食客则被称为“第14个”。
