高一英语作文：Do ＂Lucky Numbers＂ Really Bring Good Luck?　　Some people think lucky numbers like 6 or 8 will bring them good luck, because they bare a similar pronunciation to the related Chinese characters which mean good luck.
As a result, some young couples choose a date in which there is a 6 or an 8 to hold their wedding, while many shops choose such dates to celebrate their opening ceremony.
　　些人认为诸如 6 和 8 之类的数字能给他们带来好运，因为它们的发音和汉语中某些词汇的发音相似，而这些词在汉语中意味着好运。
因此，许多年轻人会挑一个带 6 或 8 的日子来安排婚礼;一些商店也如此去选择开业。
　　However, it s rather ridiculous to think numbers can bring good fortune to people.
One s success has nothing to do with the number which one chooses, but is rather related to one s own efforts.
Numbers are only numbers.
We should not attach too much importance to them.
If you really think a lucky number can bring good luck to you, simply choose it, but don t forget to still go out of your way to make your own effort.
Without your own contribution, good luck won t simply fall on you automatically.
　　然而，认为数字能给人带来好运实在是有点荒谬。
一个人的遥和他所选定的数字无关，却和其努力密遥分。
数字仅仅是数字，我们不应认为它如此重要。
如果你真的认为数字能给你带来好运，你可以挑一个，但是，你不要忘了去全力以赴地努力。
没有你的努力，幸运不会自动降临。
