（单词翻译）

Having Good and Bad Luck 

Cesar: I can’t catch a break. Everything seems to be going wrong these days. 

Olga: Maybe your streak¹ of bad luck is because you did something unlucky. 

Cesar: What do you mean? 

Olga: Have you walked under a ladder or crossed paths with a black cat lately? 

Cesar: I don’t think so, but I’m not superstitious². I don’t believe breaking a mirror will bring me seven years of bad luck. 

Olga: Say what you will, but it doesn’t hurt to take some precautions, especially the way things have been going for you. 

Cesar: I don’t know... 

Olga: Here, you can borrow my rabbit’s foot and my four-leaf clover. I’ll go home to get you a horseshoe so you can hang it upside down over your front door. 

Cesar: I really doubt any of that is going to do me any good. 

Olga: You know what tomorrow is, don’t you? 

Cesar: The thirteenth? 

Olga: Friday the thirteenth. Do you really want to take your chances? 

Cesar: I guess not. Do you really think these good luck charms will help? 

Olga: We’ll know on the fourteenth, won’t we?
