Happy new year in different countries.

Hello everyone,this is campus redio service of Xinlian College.I'm Nicole.Nice to meet you here.I think that all of you are happy and excited now.Me too!Let's welcome 2020 together. 2019年即将结束，迎来的是崭新的2020年，辞旧迎新举国同庆。中国的贺新年方式本来就已经各式各样啦。每个地方都有每个地方不同的习俗迎新年。今天，我们就来说说各国都是怎么过新年的吧！ First—Germany: in many rural areas of Germany, there is also a custom to welcome the new year - "tree climbing competition", which means to rise step by step. On the new year's day, every family in Germany will put a fir tree at the door. The tree is up to three feet high, and several branches will be cut down, leaving only the trunk. In the early morning of the first day of the new year, the village was organized as a unit. At the command of the organizer, the people who took part in the tree climbing immediately ran from home to the bottom of the tree and began to climb the tree in various ways. The one who arrived early, climbed fast and climbed to the top of the tree was known as the "new year hero".It sounds interesting,right?在德国的不少农村还流传着一种迎新年的风俗——“爬树比赛”，寓意步步高升。新年之际，德国人家家户户都会在门口摆上一棵横树，树高达三丈，砍掉数枝，只留主干。新年第一天清晨，以村为单位组织，组织者一声令下，参加爬树的人们立刻从家中奔到树下开始用各种方式爬树，谁到得早、攀得快、第一个爬到树顶的被誉为“新年英雄”。是不是听起来很有趣呢! The second one—Switzerland: in Switzerland, there is heavy snow. When the Swiss celebrate the new year, they take some snow outside, heat it to water, and splash it on the ground to clean the dust in the room. Swiss believe that snow is the most auspicious. But what's different is that people in the middle of apenzell, celebrate the new year on January 13 every year. And only men attended the ceremony, which had a different flavor. What's more, during the Spring Festival, groups of people run to the snow mountain. The Swiss think that playing in the ice mountain and snow can forget the troubles of the world and have the meaning of bathing away the old. It's very special.在瑞士大雪笼罩，瑞士人过年时，室外取些白雪，加热化成水，泼在地上清扫房间尘埃。瑞士人认为白雪是最吉祥的。但是与众不同的是，在瑞士阿彭策尔地区中部的居民，每年一月十三日是庆祝新年的时间。并且参加仪式的只有男子，仪式也别有一番风味。还有的就是过年时成群结队跑到雪山去，瑞士人认为在冰山雪地里游玩，能忘掉人间烦恼，又有沐浴去旧的意思。很特别的方式呀! The thrid one—Spain: the Spanish New Year custom is to eat grapes. When the New Year bell rings, the Spanish people will start to eat grapes according to the bell. The bell rings 12 times, and the grapes they eat are just 12. It means that the month goes smoothly.西班牙的新年习俗是吃葡萄，在新年钟声敲响之际，西班牙人民会按照钟声开始吃葡萄，钟声正好12声，吃下的葡萄也刚刚好12颗，寓意一年月月顺利。 The fourth one—France: French customs are a little rough. They don't think there should be any wine left at home on the last day of the new year's Eve. So most French people will drink on New Year's Eve. They think the remaining wine will bring bad luck to the new year.法国的习俗有些粗暴了。他们认为新年最后一天，也就是除夕夜家里不能有藏酒余留。于是法国人民大多会在除夕夜里痛饮，他们认为余留的藏酒会给新的一年带来厄运。 盘点几个国家迎新年特色后发现，不管是哪个国家如何的方式，庆祝新年都是对新的一年的一种尊重，都是希望新的一年里能有好的兆头。在这里呢，Nicole也祝各位新年事业顺利，学习进步，爱情甜蜜，心想事成呀。That's all i want to share with you,see you next time. Happy new year!♥
