New Year\'s Day is the last bank holiday of the festive season, which means most people have to go to work the next day: bright and fresh and ready for the new year ahead! New Year in the UK usually starts with a celebration on New Year\'s Eve (31st December). 英国的新年从12月31日举行的庆祝开始。 Some people spend the evening at home with their family, or have a party for friends at their house. 一些人在那天晚上和家人呆在一起，一些人在与朋友在家里开PARTY。 Others go to a pub to celebrate, or spend the evening in a large public space,for example Trafalgar Square in London. 另一些人会到一个酒吧去庆祝，或是在一个大的公共场所度过那个晚上。例如去伦敦的Trafalgar广场。 The beginning of the New Year is signified by the chiming of Big Ben, the famous London clock, at midnight, which is also shown on TV for those who are staying in. 新年的开始是以伦敦著名的钟——大本钟的午夜12点的敲响来表示，为了那些呆在家的人们，这一场景会现场直播。 In Scotland, New Year is called Hogmanay, and for some people, it\'s a bigger celebration than Christmas. In big cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow there are street parties with around 100,000 people, enjoying music, entertainment and fireworks at midnight. |
