阿尔巴尼亚人竟用泰迪熊玩具辟邪

　　Besides new fads such as the stuffed toys, traditional amulets have also reappeared: horseshoes, red flags, garlic are often seen on homes and even luxury apartments.

　　除了最新流行的填充玩具，传统的护身符也再次露面：马蹄铁、红色的小旗、大蒜出现在了各家各户，甚至豪华公寓也有它们的身影。

　　According to sociologist Zydi Dervishi this passion for the supernatural is partly caused by the feelings of insecurity and fragility in Albania which has faced considerable challenges in the past two decades. "The fear of the unknown, this powerless feeling in the face of almost omnipresent corruption and the absence of laws, incite a lot of people to take a refuge in superstition," he says.

　　社会学家塞迪称，当今阿尔巴尼亚迷信盛行部分是因为20多年来社会剧烈变动导致没有安全感和无助感。“面对几乎无处不在的腐败以及法律缺失，这种对未知的恐惧促使许多人通过迷信寻求庇护，”他说道。
