Many people ran to their local supermarkets to buy as much spaghetti as they could. By the time people realized that the story was a hoax ,all of the spaghetti across the country had been sold out. In another famous trick a TV show in England reported the discovery of special water. They said this water would help people lose weight and that one customer had already lost a lot of weight in just four months. By the end of the day,more than l0,000 people had phoned the TV station to find out how to get this water.

种水，已经有一万多人给电视台打电话。

Many April Fool s jokes may end up being not very funny. A famous TV star once invited his girlfriend onto his show on April Fool s Day. He asked her to marry him. The lady was so happy because she really wanted to get married. However,when she said yes, he replied, April Fool! That little joke didn t have a very happy ending. The TV star lost his girlfriend and his show was canceled.

许多愚人节玩笑结局并非十分好玩。一位著名的电视明星曾经在愚人节那天邀请她的女朋友参加他的演出。他请求她嫁给他。这位女士很高兴，因为她真的很想结婚。然而当她答应他的求婚时，他却回答说：愚人节，傻瓜! 那个小小的

玩笑并没有一个十分快乐的结局。那个电视明星失去了他的女朋友，而且他的节目也被取消了。

One of the world s most famous tricks,however,happened in October rather than in April. In that month in 1938, actor Orson Wells announced on his radio program that aliens from Mars had landed on the earth. He described where they had landed and told how they were moving across the United States. Welles made it sound so real that hundreds of people believed the story, and fear spread across the whole country. By the time police officers announced that the story was a hoax,thousands of people had left their homes.

然而，世界上最著名的愚弄人的玩笑有一个是发生在十月，而不是在四月。在1938年的那个月，演员奥森韦尔斯通过他的广播节目宣布从火星来的外星人已经在地球上着陆。他描述了他们在哪里着陆，并且讲述了他们如何穿越美国。韦尔斯使它听起来如此真实以至于数以百计的人都相信这个故事，并且举国上下一片恐慌。当警官宣布这个故事是一个骗局时，数千人已经离开了他们的家园。
