14、人的手法也是花样百出。 p 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。 p 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。papril fo
