情景Scenario
中国人买手机号、挑车牌，最爱数字八，最怕数字四。为什么？
For phone numbers and plates, people love 8 and fear 4. Why?
选择Choose
A八像元宝，四像刀8 looks like a gold ingot, 4 like a knife
B八听起来像“发”，四像“死”8 sounds like “wealth,” 4 like “death”
C没原因，纯迷信no reason, just superstition
答案Answer
八(bā)≈发(fā，发财)，四(sì)≈死(sǐ)。很多楼没有4层、14层，带8的号码还更贵。
8 sounds like 发 (wealth), 4 like 死 (death). Many buildings skip floor 4 and 14.
