8. SAY THE WORD ‘RABBIT’ WHEN YOU WAKE UP // UNITED KINGDOM
英國(guó)：醒來時(shí)說“兔子”

A good luck superstition that originated in the United Kingdom involves saying “rabbit” right after you wake up on the first day of the month. Whether you say “rabbit,” “white rabbits,” or “rabbit, rabbit,” the ritual will supposedly give you good luck for the rest of the month. The superstition has been around since at least the early 1900s, and even President Franklin Roosevelt reportedly said “rabbit, rabbit” to usher in each new month. If you forget to say it in the morning, for the same results simply say “black rabbit” or “tibbar, tibbar” (rabbit spelled backwards) right before you go to sleep instead.
英國(guó)人有個(gè)迷信，在每個(gè)月的第一天早上醒來時(shí)要馬上說“兔子”。不管你說“兔子”，“白兔子”還是“兔子兔子”，這都會(huì)讓你在這個(gè)月得到好運(yùn)。據(jù)說這個(gè)迷信做法在上世紀(jì)初開始存在，甚至連羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)在每個(gè)月開頭都對(duì)引座員說“兔子兔子”。如果你忘記在早上說“兔子”，你在睡前說“黑兔子”或者“tibbar，tibbar”（兔子英文rabbit反寫）也會(huì)有同樣的效果。
