中文摘要:

      迷信是具有深刻的心理根源的非理性行为，其根本在于对不确定现象缺乏正确理解，在事件之间建立了错误的因果联系。现代自然科学虽然解释了一些迷信现象，但是仍有一定比例的公众存在迷信行为或相信伪科学。科学理性基于经验事实与推理，否定不合理的因果联系，是消除迷信行为的一个重要途径。

英文摘要:

      Superstition is an irrational behavior with profound psychological causes， which is deeply rooted in themisunderstanding of the uncertain phenomenon and the establishment of a causal link between the incident facts. Although modern science has explained some superstitious behaviors, a certain proportion of the public still have superstitious behavior or believe in pseudoscience. Scientific rationality，which is based on empirical facts and reasoning and denies unreasonable causal link，is an important way to eliminate superstitious behaviors.
