我们都是多多少少有些迷信的,那句著名的“尽人事,听天命”也是好多人的座右铭。所以很多娃才会在考试之前祭拜考神,或者各种转发杨超越……
我认识一位小帅哥,每次雅思成绩出来之前,必循环播放“好运来”!在如此喜庆的旋律里,虽说结果已经无法更改,但是多少可以减少一下看到自己成绩之前的紧张感呢……
The song that means a lot to me is a Chinese song called Haoyunlai, which means Great Fortune is Coming. As the name suggests, the song is all about luck and happiness. It is always played at the beginning of a new year, ‘cause it has a cheerful melody and great lyrics. People believe that this song can bring them good luck and wealth.
The first time I heard this song is when I was shopping in the supermarket with my parents during New Year’s Day. I was pretty little, but this song left a deep impression on me ‘cause its melody and lyrics are really catchy, I mean, it basically just repeats one sentence over and over again, like XXX (此处自信的你可以唱起来), so almost every Chinese knows how to sing this song.
And you know, Chinese people tend to be a little bit superstitious, and I am no exception. So every time I face some challenges, like taking an exam or taking part in any competition, I would listen to this song, hoping that it could bring me fortune and power. For example, when I was in high school, before I took the driving test, I played this song for a whole day, and I successfully passed the test. I know it might have nothing to do with the song, but till now, I would still play this song before I need to do something really important.
