April 1 Insixteenth-century France,the start of the new year was observed on April first。 It was celebrated in muchthe same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of thenight。 Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the Christian world,and the new year fell on January first。 There were some people, however, whohadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrateNew Year's Day on April first。 Others played tricks on them and called themApril fools。 In Francetoday, April first is called Poisson d'Avril。 French children fool their friendsby taping a paper fish to their friends' backs。 When the young fool discoversthis trick, the prankster yells Poisson d'Avril!

愚人节16 世纪的时候,法国人是在4月1号庆祝新年的。他们那时候过新年的方法和我们现在几乎一样,人们设宴、跳舞直到深夜。到了1562年,教皇格里高利颁布了基督教新历,按照新历,新年这一天改到了1月1号。但是,有些人没能听说或者听说了但不相信新年改天了。他们还是按照老习惯在4月1号这天过年。其他人就拿 他们开玩笑,把他们叫做“愚人”。如今,法国人把愚人节叫做“上钩的鱼”。法国孩子会在朋友的背上贴一条鱼,以此来戏弄别人。当那个受骗上当的小朋友发现 以后,开玩笑的人就大叫“上钩的鱼儿”!

Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangersalike on the first of April。 One common trick on April Fool's Day, or AllFool's Day, is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, Your shoe lace is untied。School children might tell a classmate that school has been cancelled。 Whateverthe trick, if the innocent victim falls for the joke the prankster yells, April Fool!

如今,每逢愚人节,不管对方是否相识,美国人都会开些小玩笑。在愚人节比较常见的把戏是指着别人的鞋子说:“你鞋带没系。”学生可能会骗同学说学校放假了。不管是什么样的招数,只要那个无辜的受害者中技了,恶作剧的人就会尖叫:“愚人!”

Most April Fool jokes are in good fun and not meant toharm anyone。 The most clever April Fool joke is the one where everyone laughs,especially the person upon whom the joke is played。 American humorist MarkTwain has said that the first of April is the day we remember what we are theother 364 days of the year。

愚人节开的玩笑基本都是挺逗人的,没什么恶意。最高明的愚人节玩笑能让在场的每个人都捧腹大笑,即使是那个被作弄的人也会忍俊不禁。正如美国幽默作家马克吐温所说的“只有在四月的第一天,我们才记起在过去一年的364天中我们是多么的愚蠢”。
