No country is more
bonkers
over cars than China, where achieving the new middle-class dream means owning
a shiny new vehicle
. But the car is not always enough for those who aspire beyond the middle class. A license plate has become almost as much of a status symbol as the car.
License plates
are
usually issued randomly
. But in a country where 100,000 people die annually in traffic accidents, a plate that ends in 4 is considered
a very bad omen
for a
superstitious
motorist because 4 has the same pronunciation as death. Yet a plate overflowing with 8’s
portends
you may make a fortune.
选项
答案
汽车与牌照
没有哪个国家比中国对汽车更
痴狂
了,这里新成为中产阶层的人们的梦想就是拥有
一辆闪闪发光的新汽车
。但仅仅有汽车对这些渴望超越中产阶层的人们是不够的,
牌照号
就成为与汽车一样能够象征身份和地位的东西。车牌号的
发放通常是随机的
。但在这个每年有10万人死于交通事故的国家,对于
迷信的
常乘车的人来说,以4结尾的牌照号被认为是
不吉利的象征
,因为4的读音与“死”相同,而带8的车牌号则
预示
着你可能会发财。
