At the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, Spanish people eat grapes to bring good luck. They eat one grape for each of the 12 bell chimes and try to finish all 12 before the chimes end. Each grape represents one of the 12 months of the year. As they eat the grapes, many people think about areas of their lives in which they hope to enjoy better luck, such as finances, work, or relationships.
This custom is believed to have started in the late 1800s or early 1900s. Today, it is so widespread that many Spanish supermarkets sell grapes that are specially prepared for the tradition. Some are even sold in cans—peeled, seedless, and ready to eat with ease. Recently, the tradition has also become popular on social media. Influencers have added their own twist by eating the grapes under a table in the hope that this will help them find love.

用各式各樣的傳統來迎接新年吧。
跨年夜是歡慶的時刻。世界各地的人們回顧過去的一年，並展望新的一年。傳統在紀念這個時刻中扮演著重要的角色，而其中一項最有趣的習俗來自西班牙。
跨年夜的午夜鐘聲敲響時，西班牙人會吃葡萄來祈求好運。他們會在十二聲鐘響中每敲一下就吃一顆葡萄，並試著在鐘聲結束前吃完所有十二顆葡萄。每顆葡萄代表一年十二個月中的一個月份。許多人在吃葡萄時，會思考自己希望在生活中的哪些方面獲得好運，例如財務、工作或人際關係。
這項習俗據說始於十九世紀末或二十世紀初。如今，這項習俗十分普及，以致於許多西班牙超市都會販賣專門為這項傳統準備的葡萄。有些甚至以罐頭的形式出售 ── 去皮、去籽，方便食用。最近，這項傳統在社群媒體上也變得廣為流行。網紅們也加入了自己的變化，在桌子底下吃葡萄，希望這能幫助他們尋找真愛。
