Spain isn’t the only country to have food-focused New Year traditions. In the Philippines, people celebrate by serving round fruits on New Year’s Eve. These can include apples, grapes, and oranges. The round shapes are thought to represent coins and bring prosperity. People also wear clothes with round patterns, like polka dots, to attract good luck for the year ahead. In Greece, pomegranates are the fruit of choice. They symbolize luck, prosperity, and fertility.
西班牙并非唯一一个有以食物为主的新年传统的国家。在菲律宾，人们会在跨年夜吃圆形水果来庆祝。这些水果可能包括苹果、葡萄和柳橙。圆形被认为象征著硬币且会带来繁荣。人们也会穿著有圆形图案的衣服，例如圆点花纹，来为新的一年招来好运。在希腊，石榴是首选水果。它们象征著好运、繁荣和多子多孙。
