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 Eastports 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 Years 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。
