Have you been tricked?
There are lots of simple tricks that you can play on your friends. For example, you could wear a black sweater and pull a piece of white thread through it, so that people try to pull it off. You could change the time on someone’s alarm clock so that they’re late for work. Or glue a coin to the floor and see how many people try to pick it up.

It is not a real holiday like the Fourth of July or Labor Day. It is not observed by the schools or the government. It is just a day when people traditionally play tricks on each other.History experts say people have been celebrating April Fool’s Day for a long time. The custom began so long ago, it is difficult to know how it got started. Some people believe the tradition came from the ancient Romans more than 2,000 years ago.Other history experts say the day for fooling began in France in 1564, when King Charles IV changed the yearly calender. He moved New Year’s Day from April 1st to January 1st.Many people did not know about the change because it was difficult to communicate in those days. Others knew but refused to accept it. For whatever reason, some people continued to celebrate New Year’s Day on April 1st. Other people called them April Fools. And they played jokes on them.People in Britain and Scotland recognize April 1st as a day of fooling. A famous joke in Scotland was to send someone to a house to deliver a letter. The letter told the receiver it was a joke. The receiver would say the letter was for the person who lived down the road. After traveling many miles this way, the tired Scot would return home to find friends laughing at the joke.Early settlers from England brought April fooling to the American colonies. And Americans today still play tricks on each other on April Fool’s Day. Children put signs on the backs of their friends that read“kick me”, or“hit me”. They may tell their friends that school has been canceled. Or they ring the doorbells on homes, run away, then yell “April Fool”as the homeowner answers the door.Adults also play tricks. One year in Hawaii, a radio announcer told listeners the government would return everyone’s taxes. As you can imagine, this April Fool’s joke caused a great deal of trouble at the local tax office!愚人节在美国，本周六四月一日是愚人节。

AprilFoolsDay课⽂翻译April Fools Day课⽂翻译 April Fool's Day的意思是愚⼈节。
下⾯⼩编给⼤家带来April Fool's Day课⽂翻译，欢迎⼤家阅读。
April Fool's Day课⽂原⽂ 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.

愚人节的起源
• 关于愚人节的起源，有多种说法。一种说法认为，这一习 俗源自印度的“诠俚节”。该节规定，每年3月31日的节 日这天，不分男女老幼，可以互开玩笑、互相愚弄欺骗， 以换得娱乐。但流传较广的说法是起源于法国。1564年， 法国首先采用新改革的纪年法——格里历(即通用的阳历)， 以1月1日为一年的开端，改变了过去以4月1日作为新年开 端的历法。 • 新历法推行过程中，一些因循守旧的人反对这种改革， 仍沿袭旧历，拒绝更新。他们依旧在4月1日这天互赠礼物， 组织庆祝新年的活动。主张改革的人对这些守旧者的做法 大加嘲弄。聪明滑稽的人在4月1日这天，给顽固派赠送假 礼物，邀请他们参加假庆祝会，并把这些受愚弄的人称为 “4月傻瓜”或“上钩之鱼”。以后，他们在这天互相愚 弄，日久天长，这便成为法国流行的一种风俗。

It’s said that the April fool’s day is started from France. In the year of 1582, the French King Charles decided that the first day of New Year should be January 1st but not April 1st. But some people were not happy about this decision; they still send their New Year gifts to the others on April 1st. The supporters despised the protesters’ behaviors that they give the protesters fake presents and invited them to the fake parties which didn’t go to run at all. When someone has been made fun of, the people around them will cry out “Poisson D’ Avril”, which mean “April fool.” After that, the tradition of making fun of others on April 1st has remained.据说愚人节源自于法国。
April fool's day -四月愚人节
April fool’s day |四月愚人节—American humorist1 Mark Twain“四月第一天让我们想起自己一年中其它364天里样子。
”——美国幽默作家马克·吐温In sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed2 on April first. It was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope3 Gregory introduced a new calendar4 for the Christian world, and the new year fell on January first. Not everyone in France heard about5 the change, and even some who did know continued to celebrate the New Year on April first. Others played tricks on them and called them “April fools”. The custom6 of playing tricks on this day became popular in France and then spread to many other countries.In France today, April first is called “Poisson d’Avril (April Fish)”. French children fool their friends by taping7 a paper fish to their friends’ backs. When the “young fool” discovers this trick, the others shout “Poisson d’Avril!”Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers alike8 on the first of April. One common9 trick is pointing down to a friend’s shoe and saying, “Your shoelace is untied10.” Another trick is to secretly stick a sign on someone’s back that says something like “kick me” or “hit me”. Some people may get to t he office early and set all the clocks ahead11 by one hour, and then tell everyone who comes in the door that they are late for work. When they begin to apologize, they hear “April Fools”! The teacher may give unexpected12 exam papers to the students. When they see “April Fool!” at the bottom of the paper, they realize it’s a joke and begin to laugh. Some jokes are kept up13 the whole day before the “fool” realizes what day it is.Here are some more jokes:*telling a classmate that there will be no classes that day*calling the zoo and asking to speak to Mr. Fox*putting salt in the sugar bowl (It is not a nice trick to play on a stranger.)*saying to a friend, “Oh, my. You have four big holes in your coat! ”(buttonholes)*tying a string to a wallet, leaving the wallet in the middle of the sidewalk14, and then, when someone bends down to pick it up, pulling it out of reach15*setting the clock an hour behind, so the roommates show up16 to the wrong class—or not at all *(the whole class) sitting in a nother teacher’s classroom, so the teacher will be puzzled17 that she/he has walked into the wrong classroom when she/he is greeted by unfamiliar18 faces An April Fool’s joke should be in good fun and not meant to19 harm anyone. The most clever April Fool joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played. Children enjoy the holiday very much, and it seems that more and more newspapers and TV shows join in. A British short film once shown on April Fool’s Day was a v ery detailed documentary20 about “spaghetti21 farmers” and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. It is fun that nobody knows exactly22 what is true and what is false23. Maybe you have to wait till the next day or longer to know the truth. So, watch out24!If you were fooled this April first, try to be smarter next time. Sending your friends April Fool e-cards may be a good idea. Log on line25 right now! Surely26 you will be better at catchingone fool or two next year.十六世纪法国，过新年是从四月一日开始。
愚人节(AprilFool'sDay、AprilFool'sDay或AllFools'Day)
愚人节（April Fool's Day 、April Fool's Day 或All Fools' Day ）也称万愚节、幽默节，是西方社会民间传统节日，节期在每年4月1日。
愚人节与古罗马的嬉乐节和印度的欢悦节有相似之处。
在欧美一些国家，这一天，人们以多种方式开周围的人的玩笑，上当者当被告知是愚人节时，才恍然大悟，所以这一天总是能够引出许多笑话，不过某些玩笑也会因开得过大而引起人们的恐慌，或改变形势衍生成为（网络）谣言。
但是，玩笑最晚只能开到中午12点，这是约定俗成的严格规矩。
在愚人节的聚会上，还有一种做假菜的风俗。
有人曾经描述过一个典型的愚人节菜谱：先是一道“色拉”，莴苣叶上撒满了绿胡椒，但是把叶子揭开后，才发现下面原来是牡蛎鸡尾酒；第二道菜是"烤土豆"，其实下面是甜面包屑和鲜蘑；此后上的菜还有用蟹肉作伪装的烧鸡和埋藏在西红柿色拉下面的覆盆子冰淇淋。
饭后，客人还可以从药丸盒里取食糖果。
愚人节这天玩笑只能开到中午12点之前，这是约定俗成的严格规矩。
过了中午还找乐子的人是一个比被他取笑的人还大的傻瓜。
过了钟点还开玩笑的人会立刻碰钉子，自找没趣儿。
有一首小诗是这样描述的：愚人节已过十二点，你这个大傻瓜来得晚。
待到来年愚人节，你将是最大个的大笨蛋。
又叫踏青节，在仲春与暮春之交，也就是冬至后的第108天，是中国传统节日之一，也是最重要的祭祀节日之一，是祭祖和扫墓的日子。
●踏青又叫春游。
古时叫探春、寻春等。
四月清明，春回大地，自然界到处呈现一派生机勃勃的景象，正是郊游的大好时光。
●放风筝也是清明时节人们所喜爱的活动。
每逢清明时节，人们不仅白天放，夜间也放。
夜里在风筝下或风稳拉线上挂上一串串彩色的小灯笼，像闪烁的明星，被称为“神灯”。
过去，有的人把风筝放上蓝天后，便剪断牵线，任凭清风把它们送往天涯海角，据说这样能除病消灾，给自己带来好运●清明节，插柳中国民间有插柳习俗。
