大家知道,各个国家由于文化和背景的差异,往往表现在习俗方面有很大的不同,有趣的是,这种习俗的差异有时竟然表现在对各国数字(numbers)的看法和理解上。比如在我国,人们大都喜欢“6”和“8”这两个数字。因为在中国人看来,“6”就代表“顺”,所以有“六六大顺”的说法,而数字“8”由于与“发”(发财)近音,所以它成了一个人人喜欢的吉祥数字。有时为了要选一个带“6”或“8”的电话号码,人们不得不要多花上一笔“运气费”。而像带有诸如“6688”这样的吉祥数字的电话号码,更是身价倍增。但是反过来,中国人一般不大喜欢数字“4”,因为它与“死”近音,让人感到一种霉气。
As we all know, due to differences in culture and background, various countries often show a lot of differences in customs. What’s interesting is that this difference in customs sometimes appears in the perception and understanding of the numbers of countries. For example, in China, people mostly like the two numbers “6” and “8.” Because in the eyes of the Chinese people, “6” means “shun,” so there is a saying of “six or six Dashun”, and the number “8” is a person because of its close resounding tone with “fa”. Like auspicious numbers. Sometimes in order to choose a phone number with “6” or “8”, people have to spend a “luck fee”. For example, telephone numbers with auspicious numbers such as “6688” are worth more. However, in turn, the Chinese generally do not like the number “4” because it is close to “dead” and it makes people feel bad.
