2a
April Fool’s Day is a traditional day to play jokes on others. No one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have started in France.
传统上来讲，愚人节这一天，人们可以相互搞恶作剧。没人知道这个节日是怎么来的，但人们普遍认为它源自法国。
In the 16th century, people celebrated New Year’s Day from March 25 to April 1. In the mid-1560s King Charles IX changed it from March 25 to January 1. But some people still celebrated it on April 1, so others called them April Fools.
在16世纪，法国新年是在3月25日，一直持续到4月1日。16世纪60年代中期，国王查理九世把新年从3月25日变为1月1日，而还有一些人在4月1日过新年，这些人就被称作四月傻瓜了。
