据说外国人都奇怪为何中国人用电视遥控器总爱加一个遥控器套，我们自己分析估计有以下几点：1、遥控器是样神奇而伟大的东西，所以要以敬神的态度来保护;2、怕坏怕摔，中国人的家里总是小孩很多，小孩不看重遥控器;3、认为没了遥控器就没了电视机，中国人经不起失去;4、怕沾油，中国人热爱在餐桌上按遥控器看电视。遥控器套显示着阶层的档次，这是大多数正在小康中的家庭的标志符号。《电视机前的中国阶层分析》
译文：It is said the foreign people can never understand why the Chinese people should keep their remote controller of the televisions in a sheath. We believe there are mainly three reasons. First, the remote controller is something mysterious and great asking for pious protection; secondly, it is something vulnerable. The Chinese families are characterized by their large number of children who are not so respectful towards the remote controller; thirdly, the remote controller is believed to be something inseparable with the television, and thus can not be afforded to lose. Fourthly, the remote controller can not bear the least contamination of oil while the Chinese people like to watch television when eating. The sheath for the remote controller, a symbol for the particular status in China, offers a good evidence for China on its way to the well-off country.
