1. In Spain they've got a tradition, where you have 12 grapes one at each stroke of midnight and some people make a real event out of this. They deseed their grapes and they peel their grapes.
2. And so it's meant to symbolize not only the strokes of midnight but each month of the coming year. And the grapes represent prosperity and good health and joy and of course grapes also represent wine, so you're gonna have a good time over the course of the year.
3. And our final one odd New Year’s Day and Eve tradition is colorful underwear and this is throughout Latin America. So what this means is if you want love, you want amor, in the year ahead, then you wear red, the color of love. If you want wealth and prosperity, you wear gold underwear. If you want peace and enlightenment, you wear white.
4. And some people cheat. They wear multiple different (colors of) underwear cuz they want everything over the course of the year.
在西班牙,他们有一个传统,每到午夜时分,人们都会每响一次钟声吃一颗葡萄,一共12颗,有些人把这当成了真正的活动。他们把葡萄去籽,然后把葡萄剥开。
所以它象征的不仅是午夜的钟声,还有来年的每个月。而葡萄代表着繁荣昌盛,健康快乐,当然葡萄也代表着酒,所以在这一年的时间里,你会过得很开心。
而我们最后一个奇特的新年和除夕的传统是彩色的内衣,这在整个拉丁美洲都很盛行。所以,这意味着如果在未来的一年里你想要爱情,你想要 amor,那么你要穿红色内衣,爱的颜色。如果你想要财富和繁荣,你就穿金色的内衣。如果你想要宁静和顿悟,你就穿白色的。
而有些人则会作弊。他们穿多件不同颜色的内衣,因为他们在这一年里什么都想要。
