10. THE NUMBER EIGHT IS GREAT // CHINA
中國：數(shù)字8最好

Speaking the number eight in Chinese sounds similar to the word for fortune and prosperity, so people in China love anything having to do with eight. Chinese people schedule marriages on dates involving the number, and everything from flight numbers to phone numbers are more lucky if they have eights in them. With this superstition in mind, the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing started at 8:08 pm on 8/8/2008.
8在漢語中的發(fā)音跟發(fā)財(cái)和發(fā)達(dá)的“發(fā)”很像，所以中國人喜歡一切和8有關(guān)的東西。結(jié)婚日期要有8，航班號(hào)要有8，手機(jī)號(hào)要有8，任何數(shù)字有了8就更加幸運(yùn)。因?yàn)檫@個(gè)迷信，2008北京夏季奧運(yùn)會(huì)的開幕式就定在2008年8月8號(hào)晚上8點(diǎn)零8分。
