每逢高考(college entrance examination, also known as gaokao)季,各種各樣的“高考迷信”便流傳開來,為討個好彩頭,考生家長各出“奇”招。
“高考迷信(gaokao superstitions)”,指為了在高考中取得好成績而采取的“迷信”行為。
Let’s take a look at some of the unique, colorful gaokao superstitions that dominated this year’s gaokao season, popularized by parents who would do anything for luck.
讓我們來看看,為求好運“豁出去”的家長們在高考季帶紅的一些獨特有趣的迷信。
“紫腚能行”
高考季不少服裝店紫色內(nèi)褲大賣,與網(wǎng)上流行的“高考穿衣指南(national college entrance examination dressing guide)”有關(guān):
穿紫色內(nèi)褲,孩子高考“紫腚能行(purple bottom ensures your success)”?!白想肽苄小笔恰爸付苄小钡闹C音,表示“one will surely accomplish his goal”。
“旗開得勝”
媽媽穿旗袍寓意“旗開得勝(succeed at the first try)”,爸爸穿馬褂寓意“馬到成功(gain an immediate victory)”,都是為了給參加考試的孩子討個好彩頭。
“一舉奪魁”
向日葵也成為了高考幸運花,因為“葵(sunflower)”與“魁(head)”同音。不少考生家長在考場外手舉向日葵等候,希望自己的孩子“一舉奪魁(best the test in one fell swoop)”。
祝廣大高考生,“旗開得勝”、“一舉奪魁”,你們“紫腚能行”!
