关于愚人节的中英文介绍
【英文】
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.

愚人节是一个传统的节日,用来捉弄别人,愚弄别人,愚弄不知情的人。没有人知道这个节日是怎么开始的,但它被认为起源于法国。
这段历最接近的时刻是1582年,在法国。新年在3月25日庆祝,庆祝活动持续到4月1日。当新年从3月25日改为1月1日,由国王查理九世(KingCharlesIX)在1560年中期开始,有些人仍然在4月1日庆祝,而那些人被称为“四月愚人”。
愚人节的恶作剧从简单的(比如说,“你的鞋带松了!)到精心制作的恶作剧。”把室友的闹钟调回来一小时是一种常见的恶作剧。新闻媒体甚至参与其中。例如,在愚人节当天播出的一部英国短片,是一部相当详细的纪录片,讲述了“意大利面农夫”的故事,以及他们如何从意大利面树上收获庄稼。不管恶作剧是什么,骗子通常会对受害者大喊大叫:“四月傻瓜!”
愚人节是一个“仅为娱乐”的节日。没有人会买礼物,也没人会带着他们的“另一半”出去在高档餐厅吃饭。没有人下班或上学。这只是一个有趣的小节日,但一个人必须永远保持警惕,因为他可能是下一个愚人节!
每个国家庆祝愚人节的方式不同。在法国,愚人节被称为“四月鱼”(Poissond'avril)。法国人通过把纸鱼粘在朋友的背上来愚弄他们的朋友,当他们发现了这个把戏的时候,他们就大喊“Poissond'avril!”
在英国,只有早上才能玩把戏。如果你被耍了,那你就是个“面条”。在苏格兰,愚人节是四十八小时,你被称为“四月高科”,是杜鹃鸟的另一个名字。在苏格兰愚人节的第二天被称为“Tailyday”,它是专门用来恶作剧的。TailyDay的礼物给后世后世是仍然滑稽的“踢我”的标志。
