今日作文題：

Do "Lucky Numbers" Really Bring Good Luck? “幸運(yùn)數(shù)字”真能帶來(lái)好運(yùn)嗎？

提示句：

一些人認(rèn)為幸運(yùn)數(shù)字能給他們帶來(lái)好運(yùn)；
認(rèn)為幸運(yùn)數(shù)字能給人們帶來(lái)好運(yùn)是荒謬的；
沒(méi)有個(gè)人的努力，幸運(yùn)不會(huì)降臨。

范文：

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.

有些人認(rèn)為諸如“6”和“8”之類的數(shù)字能給他們帶來(lái)好運(yùn)，因?yàn)樗鼈兊陌l(fā)音和漢語(yǔ)中某些詞匯的發(fā)音相似，而這些詞在漢語(yǔ)中意味著好運(yùn)。因此，許多年輕人會(huì)挑一個(gè)帶“6”或“8”的日子來(lái)安排婚禮；一些商店也如此去選擇開(kāi)業(yè)。

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，認(rèn)為數(shù)字能給人帶來(lái)好運(yùn)實(shí)在是有點(diǎn)荒謬。一個(gè)人的成功和他所選定的數(shù)字無(wú)關(guān)，卻和其努力密不可分。數(shù)字僅僅是數(shù)字，我們不應(yīng)認(rèn)為它如此重要。如果你真的認(rèn)為數(shù)字能給你帶來(lái)好運(yùn)，你可以挑一個(gè)，但是，你不要忘了去全力以赴地努力。沒(méi)有你的努力，幸運(yùn)不會(huì)自動(dòng)降臨。

NOTES

1. Chinese characters 漢字

2. opening ceremony 開(kāi)業(yè)典禮，開(kāi)幕典禮，開(kāi)學(xué)典禮
相反，閉幕典禮就是closing ceremony，而畢業(yè)典禮是graduation ceremony。

3. attach importance to 重視
相似的說(shuō)法有：attach significance to, put a high value on, set great store by, place emphasis on, lay stress on等。

4. go out of one's way - to make an extra effort to do something; to accept the bother of doing something 特地費(fèi)心（做某事），不怕麻煩（做某事）
例：The shop assistant went out of his way to find what we needed. 那個(gè)店員不厭其煩地滿足我們的需要。
