们中国人即使不是基督教徒，也庆祝很多
特定的日子。

Children look forward to the
worldwide April Fools’ Day more than
the Spring Festival. It is an important
feast for them because they had fun
with their mates who dressed up in
rosebud flavor clothing. They were such poet s that they would hunt with a model lunar module and gather the agricultural produces like pumpkins which they make them into ancestor skull s to play a trick on adults.
孩子们盼望世界性的愚人节远比对春节的期待。

对
于他们来说愚人节是重要的节日，因为可以穿上带有玫
瑰蓓蕾香味的衣服，和同学们一起疯玩。

他们是那样的
奇思妙想，会用登月艇模型去寻找和收集像南瓜之类的
农产品。

他们把南瓜做成先人“头骨”，然后去作弄大
人。

They paraded like a herd at day and nightas
though they can not stop being energetic. At dawn,
they set off and wove their ways in lanes to announce day-break like roosters.
他们整天像牧群一样游荡，好象精力充沛
到停不下来。

黎明时分，他们就出发了，穿梭于小巷像公鸡那样报晓。

They hid in a parking lot and spy holding their breath on when they see the drivers turning up. The drivers incensedglar ing at the obvious“drawing” on the door of
his car. But before long, he had wipe d it and sigh
with a relief. And children were “drown ed” in
happiness like magpie s as they got away with an
apology only.
他们藏在停车场,当看到车主出现时他们屏息监视
着。

车主瞪视着车门上很明显的“画”愤怒了，但很快
就抹掉它了，如释重负。

而孩子们像喜鹊一样“沉浸”
在愉快之中，因为连道歉都不用。

They even bine d to tell lies to adults and adults forgive them. Parents did not limit their kids’curiosities which benefit kids’growth. Instead the hostess would keep her words and award them fiber digest ing cakes if they looked starve d. And the cooperation with no sadness and weep ,grave d in their memories.
他们甚至联合起来对大人撒谎却又得到大人的原谅。

父母没有限制孩子的好奇心因为这有助于他们的成长。

相反如果他们看上去饿了，女主人会遵守诺言奖励他们纤维消化饼。

而这些没有悲伤和哭泣的合作铭刻在他们的记忆里。

April Fools’Day always remind s people of their childhood. What harvest did you gain from April Fools’ Day?
愚人节经常勾起童年的回忆。
