How much do you know about April Fool’s Day
Free talk
愚人节也称也称万愚节 。一种说法认为这一习俗源自印度的“诠俚节”。该节规定，每年三月三十一日的节日这天，不分男女老幼，可以互开玩笑、互相愚弄欺骗以换得娱乐。另一种较普遍的说法是起源于法国。1564年，法国首先采用新改革的纪年法——格里历(即目前通用的阳历)，以一月一日为一年的开端，改变了过去以四月一日作为新年开端的历法。新历法推行过程中，一些因循守旧的人反对这种改革仍沿袭旧历，拒绝更新。他们依旧在四月一日这天互赠礼物，组织庆祝新年的活动。主张改革的人对这些守旧者的做法大加嘲弄。聪明滑稽的人在四月一日这天给顽固派赠送假礼物，邀请他们参加假庆祝会，并把这些受愚弄的人称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩之鱼”。所以每年四月一日，是西方的民间传统节日——愚人节 。

最著名的玩笑——
1957年4月1日英国BBC播出了这样一条
消息 ：多亏刚过去的温和冬天有效的
控制了面条树虫害，瑞士南部一户农家
的意大利面条喜获大丰收。画面中，一
名女子仔细的将意大利面条从树上摘下
来，把它们放到太阳下晒干。因为在当
时，意大利菜在英国还不常见。许多英
国人并不知道意大利面条是用小麦粉做
成的。上百通电话打到BBC，有人指出
消息错误，有人疑惑不解，甚至有人询
问：怎么自己种意大利面条树呢？
BBC：意大利面条树大丰收
1998年4月1日，麻省理工学院（MIT）的主页上发布了一则爆炸性的消息 ：华纳迪士尼公司将以建立69亿美元的奖学金信托基金的形式买下这所声名显赫的大学。新闻图片上，MIT著名的大圆顶配上了一对米奇的大耳朵。校园将迁往佛罗里达奥兰多市的迪士尼乐园，并将更名为“迪士尼理工学院” 。

最欢乐的玩笑——
麻省理工学院易主迪士尼
最友爱的玩笑——
2008年BBC摄制组在南极附近拍摄了自然历史系列《进化的奇迹》，里面讲述了阿德利企鹅飞翔的故事，这个飞翔的企鹅的视频成了互联网上观看最多的视频之一。解说员特瑞琼斯解释说，这些企鹅不是挤在一起忍受冬天的严寒，而是飞去几千里以外的南美洲热带雨林享受热带温暖的阳光。
BBC：飞翔的企鹅

愚人节 -- 愚人不过12点
愚人节这天玩笑只能开到中午12点之前，这是约定俗
成的严格规矩。过了中午还找乐子的人是一个比被他
取笑的人还大的傻瓜。过了钟点还开玩笑的人会立刻
碰钉子，自找没趣儿。有一首小诗是这样描述的：
愚人节已过十二点，
你这个傻瓜来得晚。
待到来年愚人节，
你将是个大笨蛋 !
None is a fool always, every one sometimes.
没有终身的傻瓜, 也没有终身不当傻瓜的人。
If wise men play the fool, they do it with a
vengeance.
聪明人做起糊涂事来,那才糊涂透顶。
愚人谚语、短语
