Do "Lucky Numbers" Really Bring Good Luck?
Some people take it for granted that some lucky numbers can bring them good luck. For instance, the so-called lucky number "8" is widely used now because it is sounded like "getting rich" in Chinese and is believed to bring good fortune.
Yet many others don't think so. They think that numbers have nothing to do with luck. They regard numbers simply as a mathematic symbols for counting. They are anything but a mystery. They laugh at those who think numbers can bring good luck.
I'm in favor of the latter opinion. I think our society is very modern now. We mustn't count on the so-called lucky numbers to fulfill our wishes. Whether we can have good luck depends on ourselves. If we work hard, good luck will come to us.

“幸运数字”真能带来好运吗？
有些人认为某些数字会带来好运。例如，所谓的幸运数字“8”是因为它听起来像“发财”在中国被认为是带来好运现在广泛使用的。
然而许多人不这么认为。他们认为人数无关运气。他们把数作为计算简单的数学符号。他们都是一个谜。他们嘲笑那些认为数字可以带来好运。
我赞成后者的意见。我认为我们的社会是非常现代的现在。我们不能指望所谓的幸运数字来实现我们的愿望。我们是否能有好运气取决于自己。如果我们努力工作，好运气会来找我们。
