每年一天的夜晚，纽约时代广场上的水晶球降落仪式都是万众瞩目的焦点，吸引百万游客驻足观看， 另有超过10亿的观众通过电视一同分享这一盛事。 But many cities across the United States prefer to put their own spin on the now traditional event. From pinecones to pineapples, these regions lower their own oversized symbols as the last seconds of the old year tick away。 然而，许多的城市都有自己的不一样的跨年方式。伴着一年最后的时间滴答溜走的声音，这些地区纷纷启动自己的城市象征的仪式，只是降落的不再是水晶球，而是松果和菠萝。 Pinecone Drop, Flagstaff, Arizona 亚利桑那州的弗拉格斯塔夫：松果 Arizona is more likely to be associated with cactus than pinecones, but Flagstaff, in the northern part of the state, has the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the continental United States. The 5ft-by-7ft gold and silver aluminium pinecone has dropped from the 112-year-old Weatherford Hotel since 1999. 亚利桑那一般会跟仙人掌而不是松果联系在一起。但是，北部的弗拉格斯塔夫却拥有美国大陆最大的黄松林。自1999年起，每年最后一天的午夜时分，都会有一个宽5英尺，高7英尺金银相间的铝制松果从有着112年历史的维勒夫特酒店楼顶降落，庆祝新年的到来。 Great Sardine and Maple Leaf Drop, Eastport, Maine 缅因州的东港：沙丁鱼和枫叶 The only place in America where the New Year is rung in twice in one night, the easternmost city in the United States drops a 4ft-wide maple leaf at 11 pm to celebrate the New Year in neighbouring New Brunswick, Canada, and drops an 8ft-long sardine at midnight to ring in their own New Year, commemorating Eastport’s longstanding sardine canning industry。 这里是美国唯一一个跨两次年的地方。作为美国最东边的城市，东港每年都会在12月31日晚11点，先落下一个4英尺宽的枫叶，庆祝邻边加拿大小镇新不伦瑞克的新年。 然后在午夜时分，落下一只长达8英尺的沙丁鱼，庆祝自己的新年。这只巨大的沙丁鱼同时也象征着东港经久不衰的沙丁鱼罐头产业。 Moon Pie Drop, Mobile, Alabama 阿拉巴马州的莫比尔 ：月亮饼 Though moon pies are made in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Mobile has had a love affair with the marshmallow-filled treats since they were first thrown in Mardi Gras celebrations in 1956. The 12ft-tall moon pie replica has only been dropping on New Year’s Eve since 2008, but the event already has its very own commemorative song。 虽然月亮饼是在田纳西的查塔努加做的，但是莫比尔与它之间的美丽情缘却可以追溯到1956年。那时候，莫比尔人会在四月斋前的狂欢节上互相投掷这种包着软糖的点心。一直到了2008年，月亮馅饼才登上了跨年夜的舞台，莫比尔人用降落一个12英尺高的仿真月亮饼的方式来迎接新年。尽管只有3年的历史，这个仪式现在已有了专属的纪念歌曲。 Walleye Drop, Lake Clinton, Ohio 俄亥俄州的克林顿湖 ：碧古鱼 A 20ft, 600-pound walleye fish has made an appearance in this Lake Erie town since 1996. Residents hold an entire outdoor celebration (where the temperatures can often be well below freezing) with walleye chowder, sandwiches and even walleye-flavoured popcorn。 自1996年起，伊利湖边的这个小镇上的降落仪式主角是一只长20英尺，重600磅的碧古鱼。人们举行隆重的户外庆祝仪式(气温经常低至0°C 以下)。庆典上有美味的碧古鱼杂烩，三明治，甚至还有碧古鱼味的爆米花。 Pineapple Drop, Honolulu, Hawaii 夏威夷的火鲁努努：菠萝 The last time zone in the US to leave the old year behind, Hawaii sends it off in style by lowering a 200-pound papier-maché pineapple from the 10-storey Kahala Resort in Oahu. The event can be seen from the beach or the hotel。 夏威夷是美国最晚迎来新年的地方。为迎接新年的到来，一个重达200磅的纸质菠萝将从10层楼高的卡哈拉酒店楼顶降落。不管是在海边还是酒店，都可以看到这一仪式。-下面是更多关于weatherford的问答

New Year's Day falls on January 1 and marks the start of a new year according to the Gregorian calendar. It marks the end of New Year's Eve celebrations in the United States and gives many Americans a chance to remember the previous year.The start of New Year's Day, at midnight, is heralded by fireworks, parties and special events, which are often televised. Very few people have to work on the day itself. For many it is a day of recovery from the New Year's Eve celebrations the previous night. In some towns and cities, parades are held and special football games are played. The birth of the first baby in the New Year is often celebrated with gifts to his or her parents and appearances in local newspapers and on local news shows. Many people make New Year's resolutions. These are usually promises to themselves that they will improve something in their own lives. Common New Year's resolutions are to stop smoking or drinking alcohol, to lose weight, exercise more or to live a healthier lifestyle.Government offices, organizations, schools and many businesses are closed in the USA on New Year's Day. Public transit systems do not run on their regular schedules. Where large public celebrations have been held, traffic may be disrupted by the clean-up operation. In general, public life is completely closed down.
The Gregorian calendar is widely used in many countries such as the United States. This was introduced in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII. The Julian calendar that had been in use until then was slightly inaccurate, causing the vernal equinox to move backwards in the calendar year. The Gregorian calendar was not accepted everywhere and some churches, particularly with origins in Eastern Europe, still use other calendars. According to the Gregorian calendar, the first day of the year is January 1.A common symbol of New Year's Day is Baby New Year. This is often a white male baby dressed in a diaper, a hat and a sash. The year he represents is printed on his sash. He rarely a newborn baby, as many pictures show him sitting up or even standing alone. According to mythology, Baby New Year grows up and ages in a single year. At the end of the year he is an old man and hands his role over to the next Baby New Year. Other symbols of New Year's Day are spectacular fireworks exploding over landmarks and clocks striking midnight as the year begins. 本回答被提问者和网友采纳

美国新年习俗详细 新年快到了，看大洋的美国是怎么度过这个节日的不的国度有不一样的风土人情，快跟小编一起看看美国新年习俗的详细介绍吧。新年是全美各州一致庆祝的主要节日之一。但在美国，新年远不如感恩节或圣诞节那样热闹。
美国人过新年。最热闹的是除夕晚上。是夜，各地教堂都举行隆重的礼拜活动。人们聚集在教堂、街头或广场，唱诗、祈祷、祝福、仟悔，并一同迎候那除旧更新的一瞬。午夜12点整，全国教堂钟声齐鸣。乐队高奏有名的怀旧歌曲《一路平安》。在音乐声中，激动的人们拥抱一起，甚至素不相识的人也可以互相亲吻。人们就这样怀着惜别的感伤和对新生活的向往共同迎来新的一年。北美的印第安人，还有其独特的风俗。每到除夕之夜，他们就举行富有特色的“簧火晚会”，一家入围在篝火旁边，载歌载舞，谈笑风生。待至晨曦微露，他们再把破旧衣物付诸一炬，作为除旧迎新的象征。除夕活动，常常持续到次日凌晨两三点钟。到元旦这一天，通常比较安宁、闲散。许多入很晚才起床，然后同家人、朋友一起看看电视、吃顿新年饭。虽然元旦并不是最热闹的一天，但仍有不少州举行极富地方色彩的庆祝活动。加利福尼亚州有玫瑰花会，这是美国规模最大的新年庆典。七八十年前，加利福尼亚农村的一些俱乐部成员，每逢柑桔成熟季节，使用鲜花装饰自己的马车，在村里搞一些小型庆祝活动。时至今日，它已发展成十里长街布满鲜花的盛大庆典。五六十辆完全用鲜花、特别是用玫瑰花扎成的彩车徐徐而行，长达数英里，车上还有用鲜花做的各种模型。这不仪吸引了加州的男女老少簇拥街头，而且还吸引上百万的电视观众。在费城，有长达10小时之久的化装游行。这种活动的起源要追溯到17世纪中叶定居于特拉华河沿岸的瑞典与英国移民的习俗。当年他们总是身着盛装在乡村举行新年庆祝游行。今日费城的化装游行固然比当年更有组织，但仍然保留着昔日的特色。参加游行的人们，有的装扮成小丑，有的化装成妇女(按照古老习俗，这个游行不允许妇女参加)，随着彩车，载歌载舞，人流如水，热闹非凡。每年参加的入数总在一两万左右。此外还有不少州举行元旦足球赛。鲜花盛开的加利福尼亚州，有玫瑰杯足球赛；盛产棉花的得克萨斯州达拉斯城，有棉花杯足球赛；甘蔗产地路易斯安那州新奥尔良，有糖杯足球赛；后来又新出现佛罗里达州杰克森维尔城的鳄鱼杯赛，以及得克萨斯州埃尔帕索城的太阳杯赛等等。美国入还有一个有意思的习惯，就是在新年许愿立志，他们称之为“新年决心”。这决心通常不是什么宏图大志，而是一些朴实而实际的打算。例如：“我一定戒烟”，或者“我要好好对待邻居”等等。他们总是坦率地讲给大家听，以期得到监督和鼓励。这就是美国新年习俗

On New Year's Eve, the church held a grand chapel. People gathered in the church, the street corner or the square, choir, prayer, blessing, penitence and together they await the updated blink of an eye. 12 o'clock at midnight, the church bells. The band played the famous song "nostalgia" May you be safe throughout the journey. In the sound of music, the excited people embrace together, even be strangers to each other people can kiss each other. People like this with a sentimental farewell and a new life for himself to usher in the new year. New year's Eve Often lasted until two or three a.m.. To the new year's day, usually quiet, idle. Many of them get up very late and then get up, and then watch TV with family and friends. The whole family eat turkey, pumpkin pie, and so on a big food.
