中国人过年就喜欢图个吉利，所以过年送礼可是个技术活儿，你送的东西可以不贵重，但是绝对不能不吉利。来看看过年最忌讳送什么礼物。 1. Sharp Objects — Cut Off Relationship 尖锐的东西——断绝关系 Giving somebody a sharp object insinuates that you want to cut off your relationship with them. A common Chinese saying goes "one slash and it’s in two parts" to mean the end of a relationship between people. 送给某人尖锐之物暗示着你想和对方断绝关系。中国俗语“一刀两断”指的就是两人断绝关系。 2. The Number 4 — Sounds Like Death 含有数字四的东西——和“死”谐音 In Chinese, the number four (四 sì /srr/) sounds similar to the word for death (死 sǐ). Therefore, anything with the number 4 is considered unlucky — do not give gifts in sets of four. 中文里的“四”和“死”谐音。因此，任何带有数字四的东西都被中国人认为不吉利，所以不要送数量为四的礼物。 That is why there is no floor four in some buildings and hotels, for example. Often a number 8 is added in front of the 4 for hotel rooms on the fourth floor. 这就是为什么在一些大楼和酒店中没有楼层四。通常酒店第四层的房间号会在数字4前加一个8。 3. Shoes — Evil 鞋——邪 |
