美国女巫上街施法对抗特朗普，遭基督徒斗法

At the stroke of midnight on last Saturday, a small group gathered outside Trump Tower in New York to cast a spell of “magical resistance” on the president.

上周六午夜钟声敲响之时，一小伙人聚在了位于纽约的特朗普大楼外，一起对总统施放了一个“魔法抵抗”咒语。

The mass spell, which was organized by self-identified magician Michael Hughes, is a binding spell — meaning it’s intended to restrain Trump’s power, rather than cause harm.

这个群体咒语是由自我认定为魔术师的迈克尔·修斯组织的，这是一个有约束力的咒语，就是说它的目的是限制特朗普的权力而不是造成伤害。

Katy Bohinc, a data scientist and poet who said she “regularly practices spells,” said she’s also been “resisting every way I possibly can without skipping work, but it may come to that.”

凯蒂·波因可是一个数据科学家兼诗人，她说自己“定期施咒，”并表示，“在不旷工的情况下，”自己也在“用各种可能的方式进行抵抗，而且也可能会用到咒术。”

“Do I think there’s a direct scientific line that we could draw, that maybe Monday he’ll be impeached? Frankly, there are realistic processes behind that, like Congress and the Senate,” she said. “But I do believe there are certain levels of energy in the universe and this definitely doesn’t hurt.”

“在我看来，会有那么一个我们可以采用的直接的科学方法，可能会使特朗普在星期一被弹劾吗？坦白说，在这背后是有现实可行的方法的，比如国会和参议院，”她说道。“然而我确实相信，在宇宙中有某种程度的能量，而且这绝对不会造成伤害。”

Davy Ran, a domestic violence counselor, is Jewish and practices Kabbalah, as well as palm reading and tarot cards. She showed up too.

戴维·拉恩是一名家暴法律顾问，她也信奉犹太教，并且在练习喀巴拉（犹太教神秘主义体系）以及看手相和塔罗牌。她也露面了。

“I hope [the spell] will actually do something to stop Trump — bind him, stop him and all the horrible things he’s doing in his administration,” she said. “I also hope it’ll inspire people to get involved.”

“我希望（这个咒语）确实会发挥作用来阻止特朗普，约束他，阻止他，并使他停止在政府中所作的一切可怕之事，”她说道。“我也希望这会鼓励人们参与进来。”

However, a “Christian mystic” named Donna, shouted a counter-prayer while brandishing a mirror at the witches to “reflect” the spell back on them.

然而，一个名叫唐娜的“基督教潜修者”一边大喊着对抗性祷告，一边向这些女巫挥舞着一面镜子，试图把这个咒语“反射”回她们身上。

“These people have just been very hateful and nasty, and I wanted to reflect it back at them,” she said. “I hope to protect Donald Trump…and I hope they will repent.”

“这些人实在很可恨，而且很险恶，我想把咒语反射回她们身上，”她说。“我想保护唐纳德·特朗普……我希望她们会悔改。”

Donna wasn’t the only Christian who attempted to “protect” Trump from the witches — countless Christians have been tweeting anti-witch prayers after one Christian Nationalist website put out a call to action.

唐娜不是唯一一个试图“保护”特朗普免受女巫伤害的基督徒。在一个基督徒民族主义者聚集的网站召集了这次行动后，无数基督徒发出了反抗女巫的祷告推文。
