节日趣谈
April Fools' Day is a day to play jokes
（开玩笑）
on others, No one knows
how
it began
（开始）
but people think it first started in
France.
In the 16th
century, people
celebrated
（
庆祝）
New Year's Day from March 25 to
April 1. In 1564 King Charles IX
（查理九世）
changed it from March
25 to January
1. But some people still
celebrated it on April 1, so others called them
April Fools.
Each country
celebrates April Fools' Day differently. In
France, people call the
April Fools
“April Fish”. They tape a paper fish to their
friends' backs to fool them.
When he
o
r she finds this, they shout “April
Fish!” In the America, people play small
jokes on their friends and any other
people. They may point down to your shoes and
say, “Your
shoelace
（鞋带）
is
untied
（没系紧）
.” If you believe
them and look down
to see, you are an
April Fool then.
In a word, April
Fool's Day is an interesting day. Just remember,
play safe and
have fun!

每个国家用不同的方式庆祝愚人节。在法国，人们称“四月愚人”为“四月
鱼”
。他们把一个纸鱼粘在朋友的背上愚弄他们。当他或她发现这一点时，他们
< br>高喊“四月鱼

然后说：
“你的鞋带松了。
”如果你相信他们，向下看了，那么你就被愚弄了。
总之，愚人节是很有趣的一天
