A new Gallup poll found that belief in magic is widespread throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with over half of respondents saying they personally believe in witchcraft. Studies in 18 countries show belief varies widely (ranging from 15 percent in Uganda to 95 percent in the Ivory Coast), but on average 55 percent of people polled believe in witchcraft.
盖洛普一项最新调查显示，迷信巫术已经在撒哈拉以南的非洲随处可见，有超过半数的受访者承认他们相信巫术。尽管受访的18个国家相信程度各有不同（乌干达为15%，象牙海岸为95%），平均比例仍然高达55%。
As might be expected, the older and less educated respondents reported higher belief in witchcraft, but interestingly such belief was inversely linked to happiness. Those who believe in witchcraft rated their lives significantly less satisfying than those who did not.
同预期一样，年长者和受教育程度较低者更容易迷信巫术，但是有意思的是它和幸福指数呈反比。相比非迷信者，迷信者对生活的满意程度低了很多。
