英语翻译
People turn to magic(魔力)chiefly as a form of insurance--that is,they use it along with actions that actually bring results.For example,hunters may use a hunting charm(咒语).But they also use their hunting skills and knowledge of animals.The charm may give hunters the extra confidence they need to hunt even more successfully than they would without it.If they shoot a lot of game(猎物),they credit the charm for their success.Many events happen naturally without magic.Crops grow without it,and sick people get well without it.But if people use magic to bring a good harvest or to cure a patient,they may believe the magic was responsible.
People also tend to forget magic's failures and to be impressed by its surface successes.They may consider magic successful if it appears to work only 10 per cent of the time.Even when magic fails,people often explain the failure without doubting the power of the magic.They may say that the magician made a mistake in reciting the spell or that another magician cast a more powerful spell against the magician.
Many anthropologists(人类学家) believe that people have faith in magic because they feel a need to believe in it.People may turn to magic to reduce their fear and uncertainty if they feel they have no control over the outcome of a situation.For example,farmers use knowledge and skill when they plant their fields.But they know that weather,insects,or diseases might ruin the crops.So farmers in some societies may also plant a charm or perform a magic rite to ensure a good harvest.

人们把神奇的是作为一种保险形式——即,他们用它与行动,带来的结果.例如,猎人可以使用狩猎的魅力.但他们也用他们的狩猎技能和知识的动物.的魅力可以让猎人他们需要狩猎甚至比他们更成功没有额外的信心.如果他们投了很多的比赛,他们的信用的魅力,为他们的成功.许多事件的发生自然没有魔法.作物生长没有它,和生病的人好了没有.但如果人们使用魔法带来一个好的收成或治愈病人,他们相信魔术负责.人们往往忘记魔术的失败
又是由其表面的成功印象深刻.他们可能认为魔术成功如果它似乎只有10左右的时候工作.即使魔术失败,人们往往解释失败而怀疑的魔力.他们可能会说,魔术师在念咒语或另一个魔术师,铸造了一个更强大的魔法攻击的魔法师犯了一个错误.许多人类学家认为,人们相信魔法因为他们感到需要去相信它.人们可能会魔法,如果他们觉得他们无法控制的情况的结果减少他们的恐惧和不确定性.例如,农民使用的知识和技能,当他们种植领域.但他们知道天气,昆虫或疾病,可能会破坏庄稼.所以农民在一些社会中还可能植物魅力或表演一个魔术仪式,以确保有一个好收成.
