AprilFool'sday愚人节西方的愚人节——一年中少有的一个心惊胆战的节日。在这一天,您可以充分发挥想象力,让有序的时间和空间在您手中瞬时翻转,胡作非为在“愚人节”完全有充分的理由和充足的市场。我们本期的“特别关注”没有搞心跳加速的“愚”人游戏,只想在您玩腻了疯狂的闹剧之后走进来享受一片轻松和惬意…TheoriginofAprilFool'sDayTherearedifferentversionsastotheoriginofAprilFool'sDay.ThemostwidespreadtheorylinksthedaytoGregoriancalendarreformwhileothersinvolvemythologicallegendsoranthropologicalexplanations.关于“愚人节”的来源有各种不同的说法,有人说与一群不愿接受公历纪年的法国保守者有关;也有人说它来源于纪念丰收女神的女儿被诱拐到地狱;还有人说,这个节日始于英国一个名叫“愚人村”的天才村民;另一些说法则认为春天的天气变化无常,因此人们在春分前后可以选择某一日颠倒乾坤,以荒诞的闹剧来迎接春神的到来...至于哪种说法更为可信,全凭您“拭目”定夺喽!AprilFool'sdictionaryHasiteveroccurredtoyouthattheword"fool"isusedinmanydifferentandoftencontradictoryways?TheBiblesays"speaknotintheearsofafool,forhewilldespisethewisdomofthywords,"butShakespeareoftenused"fools"inhisplaysasvehiclesforwisdomandtellingthetruth.不要小看Fool,它可是大有学问的吆。《圣经》中有很多关于“愚人”的有趣表达,如:“不要跟傻子说话,他只会鄙夷智者的言论”。在莎翁的戏剧里,Fool也常常出现,但这时的“愚人”可不是傻子而是绝顶聪明的“宫廷小丑”,他拿愚蠢作护身符说出一般人不愿说出的真话,很应了我们汉语中“大智若愚”的至理名言。TrickeryinAprilFool'sdayAprilFool'sDayistheonlydayoftheyearwhenyoucanplaytricksonpeopleandneedn'tworryaboutthemgettingangry!Herewealsointroducetoyousomemoderatepranks.Justremember,playsafeandhavefun!4月1日,一年中一个既特别又让人胆战心惊的节日,不知这一天会有多少神经细胞因劳神过度而含冤死去。今年的愚人节,我们除了向您介绍四个独具特色的庆祝方式之外,不得不紧随时代需要推荐三个无伤大雅的恶作剧。在您释放心情的一霎那,愿您的朋友也能开怀一笑!EnchantingAprilFool'spostcardItissaidthatearlyAprilistheseasonforyongfish.Notonlyaretheyeasiertocatch,buttheyaremoretenderandfreshinearlyAprilthaninotherseasons.Accordingly,theyongfishmakesaperfectmascotforAprilFool'sDay.Thesefishpostcardswillbringyouhoursoffunandentertainment.Comeon,takealook!人们说,初春的鱼儿味道最鲜美也最容易上钩,不言而喻,笨笨的鱼儿应是四月愚人节的主角。我们精选了几张独具特色的“鱼儿”明信片,在您玩腻了费尽心思的“愚”人游戏之后,不妨进入我们“特别关注”的最后一个环节——轻轻松松欣赏嬉戏耍乐的鱼儿,愚人节“不愚人”又何尝不是一种独具特色的庆祝方式呢?英文介绍AprilFools'Dayisadaytoplayjokesonothers,NooneknowshowthisholidaybeganbutpeoplethinkitfirststartedinFrance.Inthe16thcentury,peoplecelebratedNewYear'sDayfromMarch25toApril1.Inthemid—1560sKingCharlesIXchangeditfromMarch25toJanuary1.ButsomepeoplestillcelebratedinonApril1,sootherscalledthemAprilFools.EachcountrycelebratesAprilFools'Daydifferently.InFrance,peoplecalltheAprilFools“AprilFish”.Theytapeapaperfishtotheirfriends'backstofoolthem.Whenheorshefindsthis,theyshout“AprilFish!”InEngland,peopleplayjokesonlyinthemorning.Youarea“noodle”ifsomeonefoolsyou.InScotland,AprilFools'Dayis48hourslong.TheycallanAprilFool“AprilGowk”.Gowkisanothernameforacuckoobird.IntheAmerica,peopleplaysmalljokesontheirfriendsandanyotherpeopleonthefirstofAprol.Theymaypointdowntoyourshoeandsay,“Yourshoelaceisuntied.”Ifyoubelievethemandlookdowntosee,youareanAprilFoolthen.HistoryofAprilFool'sDayThehistoryofAprilFool'sDayorAllFool'sDayisuncertain,butthecurrentthinkingisthatitbeganaround1582inFrancewiththereformofthecalendarunderCharlesIX.TheGregorianCalendarwasintroduced,andNewYear'sDaywasmovedfromMarch25-April1(newyear'sweek)toJanuary1.Communicationtraveledslowlyinthosedaysandsomepeoplewereonlyinformedofthechangeseveralyearslater.Stillothers,whoweremorerebelliousrefusedtoacknowledgethechangeandcontinuedtocelebrateonthelastdayoftheformercelebration,April1.Thesepeoplewerelabeled"fools"bythegeneralpopulace,weresubjecttoridiculeandsenton"foolerrands,"sentinvitationstononexistentpartiesandhadotherpracticaljokesplayeduponthem.Thebuttsofthesepranksbecameknownasa"poissond'avril"or"Aprilfish"becauseayoungnaivefishiseasilycaught.Inaddition,onecommonpracticewastohookapaperfishonthebackofsomeoneasajoke.Thisharassmentevolvedovertimeandacustomofprank-playingcontinueonthefirstdayofApril.ThistraditioneventuallyspreadelsewhereliketoBritainandScotlandinthe18thcenturyandwasintroducedtotheAmericancoloniesbytheEnglishandtheFrench.Becauseofthisspreadtoothercountries,AprilFool'sDayhastakenonaninternationalflavorwitheachcountrycelebratingtheholidayinitsownway.InScotland,forinstance,AprilFool'sDayisdevotedtospoofsinvolvingthebuttocksandassuchiscalledTailyDay.ThebuttsofthesejokesareknownasApril'Gowk',anothernameforcuckoobird.Theoriginsofthe"KickMe"signcanbetracedbacktotheScottishobservance.InEngland,jokesareplayedonlyinthemorning.Foolsarecalled'gobs'or'gobby'andthevictimofajokeiscalleda'noodle.'Itwasconsideredbacklucktoplayapracticaljokeonsomeoneafternoon.InRome,theholidayisknownasFestivalofHilaria,celebratingtheresurrectionofthegodAttis,isonMarch25andisalsoreferredtoas"RomanLaughingDay."InPortugal,AprilFool'sDayfallsontheSundayandMondaybeforelent.Inthiscelebration,manypeoplethrowflourattheirfriends.TheHuliFestivaliscelebratedonMarch31inIndia.PeopleplayjokesononeanotherandsmearcolorsononeanothercelebratingthearrivalofSpring.So,nomatterwhereyouhappentobeintheworldonApril1,don'tbesurprisedifAprilfoolsfallplayfullyuponyou.AprilFool’sDayWhilepopularintheU.S.,theAprilFool'sDaytraditionisevenmoreprevalent1)inEuropeancountries,suchasFranceandGreatBritain.Althoughtherootsofthetraditionaltrickingsareunclear,theFrenchandtheBritishbothhaveclaimsontheoriginofthecelebration.OnetheoryholdsthatthefirstAprilFool'sDaywasonApril1oftheyearwhenKingofFranceinstitutedthenewcalendar.Thisnewsystemplacedthedaythathadformerly
