美國女巫上街施法對抗特朗普，遭基督徒鬥法
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.
上週六午夜鐘聲敲響之時，一小夥人聚在了位於紐約的特朗普大樓外，一起對總統施放了一個“魔法抵抗”咒語。
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.
這個羣體咒語是由自我認定爲魔術師的邁克爾·修斯組織的，這是一個有約束力的咒語，就是說它的目的是限制特朗普的權力而不是造成傷害。
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.”
凱蒂·波因可是一個數據科學家兼詩人，她說自己“定期施咒，”並表示，“在不曠工的情況下，”自己也在“用各種可能的方式進行抵抗，而且也可能會用到咒術。”
“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.”
“在我看來，會有那麼一個我們可以採用的直接的科學方法，可能會使特朗普在星期一被彈劾嗎？坦白說，在這背後是有現實可行的方法的，比如國會和參議院，”她說道。“然而我確實相信，在宇宙中有某種程度的能量，而且這絕對不會造成傷害。”
Davy Ran, a domestic violence counselor, is Jewish and practices Kabbalah, as well as palm reading and tarot cards. She showed up too.
戴維·拉恩是一名家暴法律顧問，她也信奉猶太教，並且在練習喀巴拉（猶太教神祕主義體系）以及看手相和塔羅牌。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（這個咒語）確實會發揮作用來阻止特朗普，約束他，阻止他，並使他停止在政府中所作的一切可怕之事，”她說道。“我也希望這會鼓勵人們參與進來。”
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，一個名叫唐娜的“基督教潛修者”一邊大喊着對抗性禱告，一邊向這些女巫揮舞着一面鏡子，試圖把這個咒語“反射”回她們身上。
“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.”
“這些人實在很可恨，而且很險惡，我想把咒語反射回她們身上，”她說。“我想保護唐納德·特朗普……我希望她們會悔改。”
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.
唐娜不是唯一一個試圖“保護”特朗普免受女巫傷害的基督徒。在一個基督徒民族主義者聚集的網站召集了這次行動後，無數基督徒發出了反抗女巫的禱告推文。
