From the point of cultural history, religion is often a core of cultural factor. Many civilized countries in their civilization history have appeared the dominant situation of the theological and religious culture, even appearing continuation in one thousand rather than liberation, but dominated by Confucianism in two thousand years, China had never been the dominant situation of theological and religious culture. Although there are various kinds of religious classics in China, it is not easy to find a book like the Bible that is allround scientific saint and almost as the moon and the sun in west countries. The ancient Greek civilization and Hebrew civilization marked by the Bible together constitute the basic source of modern western culture and thoroughly clueless in the entire western ideology and culture filed, which has fully reflected in the numeral superstition (Guang Zhenbin, 2007). This article will choose some typical numerals both in two languages to illustrate the point. The Typical Numerals in Western ReligionIn the west, numeral “thirteen” is the NO. One big fear for the Anglo—American. The reasons e from the ominous legends and stories in the Bible: Jesus and his disciples all together are thirteen people in the last supper, due to one of them became a traitor and betrayed the Jesus, unfortunately Jesus was crucified on the cross and the very day was Friday. And the day that Cain killed his close brother was also on Friday. In the consequence from the various ominous religion legends, Friday bee an unlucky day and even sometime called it “black Friday” (Zhou Yuan, 2008). In addition, there was a kind of loop with thirteen rings in the middle ages of western and also the hank has thirteen steps, the executioner’ s salary are thirteen coins. This is the reason why the thirteen happen to be the same day with Friday would be ominous and fierce in the west custom. Virus on the network often broke out in the day. As opposed to the numeral thirteen, western people prefer the numeral three, seven, nine, ten etc. Numeral three is so cult because it symbolizes the god of Trinity that means union of three persons in Christianity—Father, Son, Holy spirit in one God. There are three virtues in Christianity: loyalty, hope, and love for others. Numeral seven has the close relationship with seven kinds of deadly sins in religion: Pride, Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, Avarice, and Sloth, all of which warn people that only through this purgatory can people get into the heaven. As people all well known in the western culture, Christian believes God created everything in the world in seven days, so a week expressed in seven days has bee the world’s universal timing method. Meanwhile, Jesus told people forgive others as many as seven times。 Culture differences。學(xué)位論文中凡是引用他人已經(jīng)發(fā)表或未經(jīng)發(fā)表的成果、數(shù)據(jù)、觀點等均已明確注明出處。在數(shù)千年內(nèi)，數(shù)字作為一種極其特殊的語言分支，在人類社會發(fā)展中發(fā)揮了至關(guān)重要的作用。 person’s life is divided into seven growth period。 especially it bees No. one big fear in Europe and the United States. There is a popular folk wisdom both in British and American for a long time, that is “thirteen is such an unlucky numeral that calls it ghost or the ghost of a dozen.” This reflects people’s psychology in different places. Westerners are always trying to avoid numeral “thirteen”, even reach to the point of unreasonable. People do not mention “thirteen” deliberately in the daily conversations。 三陽開泰 (three sheep bring bless.), 三思而行 (look before you leap。 a sevenstory high pagoda.), 七尺之軀 (a manly body 。 throw to the winds.), 九轉(zhuǎn)金丹 (nine turn then the golden pill.)。 十有八九 (ten to one or six to one )etc. （Zeng Yufang, 2008）. All of the exact use of numeral nine is different from western culture. The numeral nine has rich implicit connotations in Chinese culture. Numerals and English AestheticsWhile in English they are quiet different from above listed in Chinese. It is obviously that not all Chinese numeral idioms have the equal English explanation. Actually English language also has the similar idioms about ten numerals and they have different literary meaning and origins（Wang Hongqi, 2002）. However, it is quiet difficult for foreigners to understand their meaning only from the literal point of view.
