April Fool's Day課文原文
April Fool's Day
April 1st
April Fool's Day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fool's errands, and fool the unsuspecting. No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in France.
The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. New Year's was celebrated on March 25 and celebrations lasted until April 1st. When New Year's Day as changed from March 25 to January 1st in the mid-1560's by King Charles IX, there were some people who still celebrated it on April 1st and those people were called April Fools.
Pranks performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe's untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool's Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"
April Fool's Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!
Each country celebrates April Fool's differently. In France, the April Fool's is called "April Fish" (Poisson d'Avril). The French fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs and when some discovers a this trick, they yell "Poisson d'Avril!".
In England, tricks can be played only in the morning. If a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". In Scotland, April Fools Day is 48 hours long and you are called an "April Gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. The second day in Scotland's April Fool's is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. Taily Day's gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "Kick Me" sign.

愚人節
4月1日
愚人節是一個傳統的節日，用來捉弄別人，愚弄別人，愚弄不知情的人。沒有人知道這個節日是怎么開始的，但它被認為起源于法國。

愚人節的惡作劇從簡單的(比如說，“你的鞋帶松了!)到精心制作的惡作劇?！卑咽矣训聂[鐘調回來一小時是一種常見的惡作劇。新聞媒體甚至參與其中。例如，在愚人節當天播出的一部英國短片，是一部相當詳細的紀錄片，講述了“意大利面農夫”的故事，以及他們如何從意大利面樹上收獲莊稼。不管惡作劇是什么，騙子通常會對受害者大喊大叫:“四月傻瓜!”
愚人節是一個“僅為娛樂”的節日。沒有人會買禮物，也沒人會帶著他們的“另一半”出去在高檔餐廳吃飯。沒有人下班或上學。這只是一個有趣的小節日，但一個人必須永遠保持警惕，因為他可能是下一個愚人節!
每個國家慶祝愚人節的方式不同。在法國，愚人節被稱為“四月魚”(Poisson d' avril)。法國人通過把紙魚粘在朋友的`背上來愚弄他們的朋友，當他們發現了這個把戲的時候，他們就大喊“Poisson d' avril !”
