New Year's Day（新年）-英语点津

China Daily  

The lighted ball in New York's Times Square（时代广场）starts picking up speed（加快速度）. We can trace the origins of a new year's celebration back to the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, at least 4,000 years ago. The Roman Senate had actually tried to make January 1 New Year's Day in 153 BC, but it wasn't until Caesar stretched out 47 BC for 445 days that the date we're familiar with was synchronized（同步）with the sun. Today our New Year's symbols are a newborn baby starting the next year and an old man winding up the last year. A fairly new tradition that is starting to spread worldwide is a community celebration of the visual and performing arts on New Year's Eve.
