节日趣谈

April Fools' Day is a day to play jokes （开玩笑）on others, No one knows how

it began（开始） but people think it first started in France.

In the 16th century, people celebrated（庆祝） New Year's Day from March 25 to

April 1. In 1564 King Charles IX （查理九世）changed it from March 25 to January

1. But some people still celebrated it on April 1, so others called them April Fools.

Each country celebrates April Fools' Day differently. In France, people call the

April Fools “April Fish”. They tape a paper fish to their friends' backs to fool them.

When he or she finds this, they shout “April Fish!” In the America, people play small

jokes on their friends and any other people. They may point down to your shoes and

say, “Your shoelace （鞋带）is untied（没系紧）.” If you believe them and look down

to e, you are an April Fool then.

In a word, April Fool's Day is an interesting day. Just remember, play safe and

have fun!

愚人节是一个开别人玩笑的日子，没有人知道这个节日是怎么开始的，但是

人们认为为它最先起源于法国。

在16世纪人们庆祝新年是从3月25至4月1日。1564年查理九世把新年

从3月25日改到了1月1日，但还是有些人仍然在4月1日庆祝新年，所以他

们被称为“四月愚人”。

每个国家用不同的方式庆祝愚人节。在法国，人们称“四月愚人”为“四月

鱼”。他们把一个纸鱼粘在朋友的背上愚弄他们。当他或她发现这一点时，他们

高喊“四月鱼!”在美国，人们和朋友或其他人开小玩笑。他们可能指着你的鞋，

然后说：“你的鞋带松了。”如果你相信他们，向下看了，那么你就被愚弄了。

总之，愚人节是很有趣的一天! 不过记住，玩归玩，要玩得安全开心哦！
