angel number/ 天使数字 / (tiānshǐ shùzì)

A: Recently I keep unexpectedly seeing the numbers 11:11 on the subway, my phone and in the newspaper.  

最近我总是无意间在地铁上,手机上和报纸上看到11:11这个数字。

(zuìjìn wǒ zǒnɡshì wúyìjiān zài dìtiě shànɡ, shǒujī shànɡ hé bàozhǐ shànɡ kàndào11:11zhèɡè shùzì.)

是吗?那我告诉你一个跟这个数字相关的冷知识吧。

A: Okay, tell me. It sounds interesting. 

好啊,你说吧。这感觉听起来很有趣。
