April 1 In sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed 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, Pope Gregory introced a new calendar for the Christian world, and the new year fell on January first. There were some people, however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April first.
Others played tricks on them and called them April fools. In France today, April first is called Poisson d'Avril. French children fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs. When the young fool discovers this trick, the prankster yells Poisson d'Avril!
愚人节16 世纪的时候,法国人是在4月1号庆祝新年的。他们那时候过新年的方法和我们现在几乎一样,人们设宴、跳舞直到深夜。到了1562年,教皇格里高利颁布了*教新历,按照新历,新年这一天改到了1月1号。但是,有些人没能听说或者听说了但不相信新年改天了。他们还是按照老习惯在4月1号这天过年。
其他人就拿他们开玩笑,把他们叫做“愚人”。如今,法国人把愚人节叫做“上钩的鱼”。法国孩子会在朋友的背上贴一条鱼,以此来戏弄别人。当那个受骗上当的小朋友发现以后,开玩笑的人就大叫“上钩的鱼儿”!
Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on the first of April. One common trick on April Fool's Day, or All Fool's Day, is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, Your shoelace is untied.
School children might tell a classmate that school has been canceled. Whatever the trick, if the innocent victim falls for the joke the prankster yells, April Fool!
如今,每逢愚人节,不管对方是否相识,美国人都会开些小玩笑。在愚人节比较常见的把戏是指着别人的鞋子说:“你鞋带没系。”学生可能会骗同学说学校放假了。不管是什么样的招数,只要那个无辜的受害者中技了,恶作剧的人就会尖叫:“愚人!”
Most April Fool jokes are in good fun and not meant to harm anyone. The most clever April Fool joke is the one where everyone laughs, especially the person upon whom the joke is played.
American humorist Mark Twain has said that the first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 3 days of the year.
愚人节开的玩笑基本都是挺逗人的,没什么恶意。最高明的愚人节玩笑能让在场的每个人都捧腹大笑,即使是那个被作弄的人也会忍俊不禁。正如美国幽默作家马克吐温所说的“只有在四月的第一天,我们才记起在过去一年的3天中我们是多么的愚蠢”。

每年的4月1日,是西方许多国家的人们最开心的日子之一,因为这一天是闻名世界的“愚人节”。这一天,人们尽可以发挥自己丰富的想象力,哄骗、取笑、愚弄别人。而且,不管这样做之后出现什么样的后果,人们也不负任何法律责任。现在这一节日也开始在我们中国流行,尤其是在大学生中间。由此看来,愚人节不仅仅是西方人的事情,也影响到东方。
愚人节的由来 愚人节又称万愚节,已经有几百年的历史了。关于他的起源,众说纷云。其中最为流行的说法认为愚人节起源于法国。 十六世纪的法国,人们在4月1日这天过新年,互赠礼物,举办晚会,庆祝新年。当时的庆祝方法与现在相差无几。1582年年,法国国王查理九世决定采用一种新的历法——格高利历法,新年改在1月1日。在新历法的推行过程中,各地仍有一些人或是不原意接受新历法,或是不知道这一日期的更改,仍然在4月1日这天过新年。其他的人便捉弄他们,赠送他们假礼物,邀请他们参加假庆祝晚会,骗他们去跑腿,或使他们对某种根本不存在的事情信以为真。这些受骗的人被称为“四月愚人”。
从此,人们在4月1日这一天便互相愚弄,日久天长,便成为法国流行的风俗。十八世纪初,“愚人节”的习俗传到英国。后来,随着英国移民又传到了美国。随着时间的流逝,这一习俗已经成为国际性节日,在欧洲、北美许多国家都流行。这一天,人们可以不拘一格地“轻松”一下。当然愚弄人的手法也是花样百出。
关于受愚弄的人,在不同的国家给予不同的称呼。大部分人都称他们为“四月愚人”。但有时,有的国家也有其他的称呼。在法国人们把上当者称为“四月鱼”,可能是因为四月里,鱼最容易上钩的缘故吧;而在英国的苏格兰,则称为“布谷鸟”,可能是指一只呆鸟吧。同时,有的国家虽然不过“愚人节”,但也有类似的节日。在罗马,曾有“嬉乐节”,在3月25日。而印度有“欢悦节”,在3月31日。这些节日和愚人节类似。有趣的是,这些节日都在春天,所以,有人说这些节日与“春分”有关,因为这时的天气变化无常,让人琢磨不透,有些捉弄人的感觉。墨西哥也有“愚人节”,不过是在12月18日。
