 Acknowledgements

    During my study at Shanghai Normal University TianHua College especially the graduate year working on the thesis, I am truly indebted to so many people that they cannot all be mentioned by name. However, the following must be singled out, as without their unfailing support and stimulating influence, this BA thesis would not have seen the light of day.
    First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, 填上指导老师的姓名, for (按照性别和人数填)enlightening lectures and unstinting encouragement. Without (按照性别和人数填)meticulous guidance and teaching, I could not have achieved so much in my studies. I also owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to all the other professors and teachers, who helped to widen my vision and extend my interests to other beneficial branches of learning．
 Finally, my thanks go to my family and my friends for the love and understanding they so graciously gave me.
 
Abstract
 
 Numerals are linguistic and social symbols. To dig it further, they are cultural symbols as well. Numericals reflect distinctive features of a nation’s Psychology, traditions, ect.. Numerical worship can be divided into numerical taboos and preferences, which demonstrate the cultural differences of different peoples.
 By adopting comparative and example analysis research methods, this thesis attempts to reveal the cultural differences underlying numerical taboos and preferences in English and Chinese languages. To be specific, this thesis first conducts a comparative analysis of numerical taboos and preferences in Chinese and English languages. Then, the social and cultural factors that influence the use of numerals in Chinese and English are explored. Wherever possible, concrete examples will be provided to make the author’s observation more convincing. 
 Through the research, it can be drawn that values and attitudes, Philosophy and religious beliefs, thinking patterns, traditional customs and folk psychology, ect.. are the factors influencing the differences in the use of numericals in Chinese and English languages. Thus, research on numerical worship in terms of numerical taboos and preferences is significant in that it not only helps us understand the numerical culture in Chinese and English, but also facilitate our understanding of different cultural psychology of two peoples so that cultural conflict can be eliminated, and better intercultural communication be achieved.
 
Key words: Numerical worship; numerical taboos; numerical preferences; Chinese and English; cultural differences
 
 
 摘要
 
 数字是一种语言符号，也是一种社会符合。通过进一步挖掘可知，它还是一种文化符号。数字体现了一个民族心理和传统等的独特特征。数字崇拜体现为两个方面：数字禁忌和数字崇拜。它们能够反映不同民族的文化差异。
 通过采用对比和举例分析的研究方法，本文旨在揭示英汉数字禁忌和数字喜好背后的文化差异。具体来说，本文首先对比分析了汉英语言的数字禁忌和数字喜好；进而探究了影响汉英语言使用的社会和文化因素。为了使作者的观点更有说服力，本文将尽量提供具体实例。
 通过分析得出：价值观和态度、哲学和宗教信仰、思维模式、传统习俗、民俗心理等方面是影响汉英数字使用的社会文化因素。因此，本文的研究意义在于，数字禁忌和数字喜好角度研究汉英两种语言的数字崇拜，不仅能够帮助我们了解汉英的数字文化，还能促进我们对两种民族文化心理的理解，从而达到消除文化冲突，进行更好的跨文化交际的目的。
