The black cat 埃德加·爱伦·坡 （自译版）（4）

这只全黑的大猫是只漂亮的动物，并且他惊人的聪明。
一说到这份聪明，我那实际上有些迷信的妻子便总要提到古时的流行观念——所有黑猫都是由女巫假扮的。
倒不是说她在这件事上太过严肃，只是说到这件事时恰好想到罢了。

This latter was a remarkably large and beautiful animal, entirely black, and sagacious to an astonishing degree. In speaking of her intelligence, my wife, who at heart was not a little tinctured with superstition, made frequent allusion to the ancient popular notion, which regarded all black cats as witches in disguise. Not that she was ever serious upon this point—and I mention the matter at all for no better reason than that it happens, just now, to be remembered.
