生活口语汇5 | Fact or Superstition，你相信星座吗？

上回 Joe 老师被问到了自己与自己星座的相似程度，然而很多人好像压根就不 care 自己的星座代表了什么，什么星座的不都得吃饭么……

那么，这一期 Joe 老师就来和大家聊聊

“你信星座么？”

Class 5: 

Do you believe in astrology?

"It’s hard to say whether or not astrology is true. According to modern science, most people would probably disagree with it. They would say it’s a kind of superstitious belief that we cannot prove as fact, kind of like fortune telling. Nevertheless, I think it’s very funny that once in a while you will meet someone who is exactly like what their sign says. Reading horoscopes is something that is just fun for people to do together. Whether it is true or not, well, I will leave that for you to decide."

第5课：你相信星座吗？

我觉得星座是不是对的很难讲，如果从现代科学的角度讲，很多人很可能会否定星座解释。他们会觉得这多少有点迷信，很难被证明是事实存在，和算命跳大神的没什么差别。然而，我觉得特别有意思的是有时候你真是会碰到和她/他星座星语一模一样的人啊，然后大家聚在一起分析下星座运势啥的也是挺有趣的活动。所以别那么较真，自己去判断星座到底该不该信吧!
