Countries around the world ring in the new year with unique customs and traditions, often carried out at the strike of midnight. We rounded up ways to bring international New Year"s Eve experiences to you.以前，许多人会选择在除夕夜旅行，沉浸在不同的文化中。世界各地的国家通常在午夜钟声响起时以独特的习俗和传统迎接新年。我们汇总了各种跨年方式，为你带来国际化的跨年夜体验。Japan: Eat toshikoshi soba.日本，吃跨年荞麦面Shiwasu is the end-of-the-year period in Japan, filled by many traditions like traveling to see family, attending parties and thoroughly cleaning your home. To commemorate New Year"s Eve, people eat toshikoshi soba, or "year-crossing" soba, which can symbolize having a long and fortunate life along with a clean break from the year.Shiwasu （日语，阴历十二月）是日本的年末时期，有各种各样的传统，比如去看望家人、参加聚会，以及大扫除。为了纪念除夕夜，人们会吃“跨年荞麦面”， 它象征着长寿和幸运，以及彻底与上一个年头的告别。Denmark: Jump off a chair.丹麦：从椅子上跳下来In Denmark, one does not simply let the new year happen. You go on the offense and jump into it. Just before midnight, stop what you"re doing and get on a chair to execute the jump like a Dane would. Should you forget to jump, it"s said that you"ll bring bad luck for the following year, so please, we"re begging you — do not forget to jump.丹麦人不会让新年简简单单地到来。你得鼓起劲跳进去。在午夜之前，停下手头的事情，站上一把椅子，像个丹麦人一样“信仰之跃”吧。如果你忘了跳椅子，据说来年会招来坏运气，所以拜托了，我们恳求你，别忘了跳椅子。Spain: Eat 12 grapes.西班牙：吃12颗葡萄Perhaps the easiest tradition to carry out is eating grapes for good luck. The tradition began in Spain, but it is now practiced around the world, particularly in Central and South America. Have 12 grapes, known as las doce uvas de la suerte, handy. When the clock starts chiming at midnight, eat one with each clang. Bonus points if you"re wearing special New Year"s Eve underwear while eating your grapes. A pair of red underwear can bring you a new year of love, while yellow may bring joy and fortune.也许吃葡萄以求好运是*容易实行的传统了。这一传统起源于西班牙，但现在在世界各地，特别是在中美洲和南美洲，都在盛行。准备12颗葡萄，它们叫做“12颗幸运葡萄”，这名字真方便。当时钟在午夜开始敲响时， 每响一声就吃一个。如果你在吃葡萄时穿着为除夕特别准备的内衣，就是加分项了。一件红色的内衣可以给你带来新一年的爱情，而黄色则可能带来欢乐和财富。Greece: Hang some onions.希腊：挂洋葱In Greece, onions symbolize rebirth, so people hang them up on their doors on Dec. 31 to encourage a year of growth. Keep the Greek traditions going by baking a vasilopita on New Year"s Day. Hide a coin in the cake and share it with your loved ones — whoever finds the coin is said to have a year of good luck.在希腊，洋葱象征着重生， 因此人们会在 12 月 31 日将洋葱挂在门上， 以鼓励一年的成长。保持传统，在元旦烤一个希腊传统的新年蛋糕吧。把一枚硬币藏在蛋糕里，与你爱的人分享——据说谁吃到了硬币，谁就有一年的好运。Russia: Burn, then drink, your wishes.俄罗斯：把你的愿望烧掉，然后喝下去Before midnight, write down your wishes for 2024 on a piece of paper, then light the paper on fire. Once it"s stopped burning, sprinkle the wish-filled ashes into a glass of champagne and drink up after the clock strikes midnight.午夜前，在一张纸上写下你对2024年的愿望，然后将纸点燃。一旦停止燃烧，将充满希望的灰烬洒在一杯香槟里，并在午夜钟声敲响后喝完。Costa Rica: Run your suitcase around the block.哥斯达黎加：提着你的行李箱在街区里转一圈Put your 2024 travel ambitions into the universe by celebrating the new year like a Costa Rican. (The tradition is popular across Latin America.) At midnight, it"s tradition to grab a suitcase and run around the block in the hopes of traveling in the new year.把你的2024年旅行计划告诉全宇宙，像哥斯达黎加人一样庆祝新年吧。（这个传统在整个拉丁美洲都很流行。）午夜时分，人们会提着行李箱在街区里跑来跑去，希望能在新的一年里旅行。"The farther we run with our suitcases, my family always says, the farther we"ll travel in the new year," writes Washington Post reporter, Samantha Schmidt, who has spent New Year"s Eve with her extended family in Costa Rica every year since she was born. "We all do it — from my toddler cousins to my eldest aunts in their high heels. Our neighbors always cheer us on, shouting "Feliz A?o Nuevo!" and sometimes join in, as fireworks shoot off in all directions."《华盛顿邮报》记者萨曼莎·施密特写道：“我的家人总是说，我们带着行李箱跑得越远，新的一年我们就会走得越远。”萨曼莎自出生以来，每年都会和哥斯达黎加的大家庭一起度过除夕夜。“我们都这样做——从我蹒跚学步的表亲到穿着高跟鞋的大姨。我们的邻居总是为我们加油，大喊‘新年快乐！’，有时还会加入进来，同时到处都有烟花在绽放。”
