Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. . Take "8" for example, the Chinese pronunciation (发音) of the number"8"has almost the same sound as that of the Chinese character "发 [fa：]", which means making plenty of money. . They believe that the number will bring them more money.
. They think such an idea is only an ignorant (愚昧的) and superstitious (迷信的) belief. A number is one thing and good luck is another. As for me, I agree with the second idea. Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstitious belief. Perhaps it holds true for some cases, but often it does not. Numbers can never bring good luck to a person at all and our luck is in our own hands. . Let's always remember "Chances are only for the prepared mind" and "No pains, no gains".
