香港的汽车牌照是由两个英文字母后缀四个阿拉伯数字组成的,原则上是按登记的顺序发放。但是,那些港人认为能带来好运气的“吉利号码”事先已被市政当局挑出来公开拍卖了,最高的可卖到100多万港币。每次拍卖的收入都予以公布并编入政府的收入项目中。中标者的名字从不公开,但如果在街上看到一辆挂着“吉利号码”的小轿车,你完全可以断定那车主必是商人或者经理阶层等有钱人。 Hong Kong car license is composed of two English letters suffixed with four Arabic numerals, in principle, is issued in registration order. However, those “lucky numbers” which Hong Kong people think can bring good luck have been singled out by the municipal authorities in advance for auction. The maximum amount can be sold at more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars. The revenue of each auction is published and credited to the government’s revenue items. The name of the successful bidder is never disclosed, but if you see a sedan on the street with a “lucky number,” you can conclude that the owner must be rich, like a businessman or manager.
