　　Halloween is a bad time of year for black cats, with their long-standing connections with witches, hubble-bubble and evil。

　　对于黑猫来说，万圣节是一年中最“悲惨”的日子。一直以来，人们都将它们与巫婆、喧闹以及邪恶联系在一起。

　　Reports of deliberate cruelty to black cats rise especially in the weeks around Halloween in Britain, the RSPCA animal charity said on Wednesday。

　　英国皇家防止虐待动物协会(RSPCA)于本周三称，在临近万圣节的前几周，英国故意虐待黑猫的案例数出现上升。

　　But it seems that not only do people treat black cats badly in October -- they shun them for the rest of the year too。

　　但似乎人们不仅在十月份虐待黑猫，其它时候也是避之不及。
