用法
- Superstition / to blindly believe in - 破除迷信 (pòchú míxìn) to do away with superstition.
- Beyond folk superstition, it means uncritically trusting something/someone: 迷信权威 (míxìn quánwēi) to blindly worship authority; 迷信名牌.
- Carries a critical tone of irrational belief; the extended "blind faith in X" sense is very common and worth remembering.
