April 1st is an unofficial holiday in the United States called April Fool's day. In the past, April 1st used to be celebrated as the New Year. And then in the year, I think, 1592, or something like that, the official New Year was changed to January 1st and some people never heard of this change so they continued to celebrate the New Year on the April 1st, but the people who knew of this change called them fools. A fool in English is someone who is not smart. We have many words for this in English： dumb, a dummy, stupid, imbecile, idiot, but you're all nice people so you'll never need to use those words so you can forget that. But the people who continued to celebrate the New Year's on April 1st were called April fools. So a tradition started, that on

April 1st people would try to make, would do pranks on other people.

4月1日是美国的一个非正式节日，称作愚人节。过去，4月1日以前被当作新年来庆祝。我想大概是在1592年，新年正式更改为1月1日，不过有些人并没有听到更改的消息，所以他们继续在4月1日庆祝新年，而知道更改日子的民众便称那些人是愚人。英语中说的愚人就是那些不聪明的人。英语中有很多词来形容这个意思：愚蠢的，笨蛋，笨的，蠢货，白痴，但是你们都是善良的人，所以你们永远不需要使用这些词，所以你能够不去管那些。但是继续在4月1日庆祝新年的人被称作四月愚人。所以这就是这个节日传统的由来，在4月1日，人们会对其他人做恶作剧。
