其实一直觉得西方人的食物都挺贫乏的。感恩节刚吃完火鸡、圣诞又接着吃，总不至于新年还吃吧？于是老外们就开口啦，我们新年可是有“幸运食物”的！那么这些“幸运食物”到底是哪些食物呢？
 

 
For many, January 1 offers an opportunity to forget the past and make a clean start. But instead of leaving everything up to fate, why not enjoy a meal to increase your good fortune? There are a variety of foods that are believed to be lucky.
 
对于很多人而言，新年是一个忘掉过去、重新开始的机会。不过，相比把一切都交给命运，干嘛不给自己煮一餐幸运食物，给自己来年添点运气呢？在美国和其他一些西方国家，有这么一些食物是大家新年常吃的，也就是人们常说的幸运食物了。    


Grapes

New Year's revelers in Spain consume twelve grapes at midnight—one grape for each stroke of the clock. Lately， each grape then represents a different month, so if for instance the third grape is a bit sour, March might be a rocky month. For most, the goal is to swallow all the grapes before the last stroke of midnight.
西班牙人会在新年的夜晚吃掉12颗葡萄——每一粒葡萄就代表一个时辰。而后，这项传统演变为：一粒葡萄代表每年的一个月。所以，如果你吃到的第三粒葡萄有点酸，那么来年3月可能就不顺。不过最盛行的习俗，还是赶在午夜钟响以前把所有葡萄都吃掉！
