Jinx

    霉运

    欧冠1/8决赛的抽签结果揭晓，拜仁遭遇了阿森纳，两队在近五年的欧冠中已经是第四次被抽到一起了。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Arsenal will have another chance to beat Bayern Munich in a UEFA Champions League (UCL) knockout tie after the sides were paired yet again in the round of 16 following Monday's draw.

    The teams met at the same stage in 2005, 2013 and 2014 with the German champion winning on all three occasions — 3-2 on aggregate in 2005, on away goals after a 3-3 draw in 2013 and 3-1 in 2014.

    Paris Saint-Germain will also try to break a jinx when it faces Spanish champion Barcelona, which knocked it out in the quarterfinals in 2013 and 2014.

    报道中的jinx就是“霉运”，例如：

    Having a "crow beak" is a Chinese symbolic expression for saying one is a jinx.

    中文里说一个人“乌鸦嘴”就是说他会带来霉运。
