新西兰等国率先迎来2015年

New Zealanders were among the first in the world to usher in 2015, with a giant clock on Auckland\'s landmark Sky Tower counting down the minutes until the New Year.

A huge fireworks display was launched from the top of the tower at midnight.

After a turbulent year marred by terrorism threats, Ebola outbreaks and a horrific series of airline disasters, many around the globe could be forgiven for saying good riddance to 2014 and gratefully ringing in a new year.

Recent tragedies have muted celebration plans in Indonesian. Officials in Jakarta said the city would conduct prayers for the victims of AirAsia Flight 8501 and a deadly landslide in Central Java.

Other Indonesian cities have opted to cancel or tone down celebrations.

New Zealand\'s capital, Wellington, hosted a family-friendly celebration in a park, featuring orchestral music and iconic movie clips, culminating with fireworks.

当地午夜12点，天空塔顶部发射了大型焰火。

2014年是个多事之秋，恐怖主义威胁、埃博拉疫情爆发、接连不断的空难，现在全球很多人终于能摆脱2014年的阴霾，以感激之情迎接新的一年。

印度尼西亚因最近发生空难将不大张旗鼓地举行庆祝活动。雅加达的官员说，他们将为亚航8501航班和中爪哇省泥石流的遇难者祈祷。

印尼的其他城市也纷纷取消或改为低调庆祝。

新西兰首都惠灵顿在一个公园举行了适合家庭参加的庆祝活动，交响乐团演奏，播放经典电影片段，最后以燃放焰火结束。
