Goldfish, Souls and Coffee Tables

Ms. Smith, an American, is talking to Mr. Ting, an expert on feng shui. (S=Ms. Smith; T=Mr. Ting)
S : What changes would you suggest for my house?
T : I think that you should get an aquarium with goldfish.
S : Why?
T : Goldfish bring good luck.
S : OK. Anything else?
T : You should also get rid of that mirror in front of your bed.
S : Why?
T : Your soul travels at night. It must find its way back to the body. The soul might see your body in the mirror and get confused.
S : Hmm...really? What else?
T : Um... (He bumps into a coffee table.) ouch! And get rid of this table.
S : Why? It's just a coffee table.
T : It's dangerous. It will bring you bad luck.
S : Uh...are you sure?

美国籍的史密斯小姐正和风水专家丁先生交谈。
史小姐：你建议我房子应该做些什么改变？
丁先生：我认为你应该买个水族箱, 里面养些金鱼。
史小姐：为什么？
丁先生：金鱼会带来好运。
史小姐：好啊。还有什么？
丁先生：妳还应该把你床前的那面镜子拿走。
史小姐：为什么？
丁先生：你的灵魂晚上会出来游荡。它必须找到回躯壳的路。你的灵魂可能会看到你镜子里的躯壳而搞胡涂。
史小姐：呣……真的吗？还有呢？
丁先生：嗯……（他撞到茶几。）哎哦！把这张茶几也拿走。
史小姐：为什么？只是张茶几嘛。
丁先生：那东西很危险, 会给你带来厄运的。
史小姐：呃……你确定吗？
