探究一、背景知识:愚人节的起源
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 。
It is celebrated every year on the first day of April. It has been popular since the 19th century. The day is not a national holiday?in any country, but it is well known in Europe, Australia, Brazil and the United States.
On this day, people play?jokes?and?hoaxes on each other. The jokes and their victims are known as “April fools”. Hoax stories may be reported by the press and other media on this day and explained later.
