April 1 again! It's a good day for playing practical jokes on your friends. You have to be very careful on this day. 如果同学跟你说什么,不要轻易当真哦! Don't be an April Fool!关于愚人节起源说法不一。有人说它起源于16世纪的法国。At that time, the New Year started on April 1.Later, a new calendar was used.但有些保守的人却坚持在四月一日庆祝新年。于是他们会被朋友们请去做一些“傻事”比如参加一个不存在的新年联欢会。这些玩笑让他们哭笑不得,这个风俗流传下来就成了愚人节。另一个说法是说它来源于英国一个叫做“愚人村”的天才村民。当然还有其他的说法,这里我们就不一一道来啦。
April Fish Day?法国鱼人节?
April Fool's Day has a nickname in France: April FISH Day!
On this day, French kids usually put paper fish on their friends' backs. When the"fools" find out about this trick, the others yell, "April Fish!"为什么 April Fools 在法国是“四月的鱼”呢?
原来是这样的:It's easy to catch a fish in April in France最容易被骗上钩的鱼当然就是傻鱼喽。
