  Are you good at making predictions3? Are you someone who seems to know what's going to happen to your friends before it happens? Then maybe you have already seen a career as a fortune-teller for yourself in the future.

  你擅長預言嗎?你是在朋友發生事情前,似乎就知道會發生什麼事的人嗎?那麼或許你自己已預見你未來會成為算命師。

  Some fortune-tellers find out what fate has in store by using astrology4. This involves charting the sun's movements in the sky with the belief that they help predict future events here on Earth. Then there is scrying. You may not be familiar with the word, but if you have ever seen a cheesy5 horror film, you've probably seen it in action. Scrying is when a fortune-teller looks into a crystal ball to see the future. Another common method is taromancy. This involves using special cards, known as tarot cards6. The cards are laid out on a table, and the order in which they fall is said to reveal future events.

  有些算命師透過占星術預測命運的安排。這包括繪製天空中太陽行經路線的圖表,相信這做法有助於預測世上未來會發生的事。此外還有水晶球占卜術。你或許不熟悉這個英文字,但你若曾看過 B 級恐怖片,你或許有看過它是怎麼操作的。水晶球占卜術是算命師透過觀看水晶球看到未來。另一個常見的算命方法是塔羅牌占卜術。這包括運用稱為塔羅牌的特殊紙牌。在桌上展開塔羅牌,據說他們呈現的順序會透露未來要發生的事。

  Fortune-telling is big business in Taiwan but has not gained widespread welcome in other countries. In some American states, calling oneself a fortune-teller is even illegal. Saudi Arabia takes that a few steps further because they ban the practice under punishment of death. I'll bet you did not see that coming.

  在台灣算命很夯,但在其他國家並沒有廣泛受到歡迎。在美國有些州,自稱是算命師甚至是違法的。沙烏地阿拉伯更甚於此,因為他們以判死刑來禁止算命。我敢斷定你沒算到這樣的事。
