april fools day is traditionally a day to play practical jokes on others, send people on fools errands, and fool the unsuspecting. no one knows how this holiday began but it was thought to have originated in france.

传统上来讲，愚人节这一天，人们可以相互搞恶作剧，骗人跑腿，欺骗不知情的人。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。

the closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in france. new years was celebrated on march 25 and celebrations lasted until april 1st. when new years day as changed from march 25 to january 1st in the mid-1560s by king charles ix, there were some people who still celebrated it on april 1st and those people were called april fools.

庆祝愚人节最早是在1582年，在法国。那时，当时法国新年是在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。

pranks performed on april fools day range from the simple, (such as saying, "your shoes untied!), to the elaborate. setting a roommates alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. the news media even gets involved. for instance, a british short film once shown on april fools day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees. whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "april fool!"

愚人节那天的恶作剧有的很简单(比如，说句“你鞋带开了!”)，有的却是精心设计的。把室友的闹钟往后调一小时是常见的。甚至新闻媒体都来凑热闹。比如，在愚人节那天，曾经有一部英国短片较为详细地记录了“种意大利面的农民”，以及他们如何从意大利面树上收获意大利面。不管是什么恶作剧，搞恶作剧的人通常在最后会对被搞的人喊一句:"四月傻瓜!"

april fools day is a "for-fun-only" observance. nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. nobody gets off work or school. its simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next april fool!

愚人节是一个“仅为娱乐”的节日。谁也不用买礼物，也不用带着男/女朋友出去到一家豪华餐厅去吃饭。人们也不会放假。它仅仅是个搞笑的小节日，但是在这一天，每个人都要保持警醒，不然就要被人耍啦。

each country celebrates april fools differently. in france, the april fools is called "april fish" (poisson davril). the french fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends backs and when some discovers this trick, they yell "poisson davril!".

每个国家用不同的方式过愚人节。在法国，愚人节被称作“april fish”。法国人和他们的朋友是这样开玩笑的：把一张裁成鱼形的纸用胶带粘到朋友的后背上，当有人发现的时候，他们就会喊：“poisson davril!”.

in england, tricks can be played only in the morning. if a trick is played on you, you are a "noodle". in scotland, april fools day is 48 hours long and you are called an "april gowk", which is another name for a cuckoo bird. the second day in scotlands april fools is called taily day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. taily days gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "kick me" sign.

在英国，只能在早上搞恶作剧。如果你被耍了，那你就是“面条”。在苏格兰，愚人节要持续2天，被耍的人被称为“四月布谷”。苏格兰第二天的愚人节叫做taily day，恶作剧主要在别人的屁股上做文章。

Giant pandas have a chubby body, like wearing a black and white coat, triangular ears, black eyes like wearing a big glasses, a nose like a small cake, with black chocolate, there are white cream, I want to eat. Under the nose small mouth seems to be even. Its limbs like hairy little black pillar. Its claws can easily put bamboo caught his mouth, tail like a black fur ball, very lovely.

Panda is also called "bamboo panda". But now the high quality bamboo less and less, its hard to feed the pandas, so pandas have less and less too. Therefore, the panda is our national treasure, we should protect it.

大熊猫有胖胖的身子，像穿了一件黑白相间的外衣，三角形的耳朵，黑黑的眼睛像戴了大墨镜似的，鼻子像一块小蛋糕一样，上面有黑色的巧克力，下面有白色的奶油，我都想吃了。小小的嘴在鼻子下好像被连了起来。它的四肢像带毛的小黑柱子。它的爪子可以轻易的把竹子抓到嘴里，尾巴像一个黑毛毛球，非常可爱。

熊猫也叫“竹子熊猫”。但是现在优质的竹子越来越少了，很难喂饱熊猫了，所以，熊猫也越来越少了。因此，熊猫是我们的国宝，我们应该保护它。

The Qingming (Pure Brightness) Festival is one of the 24 seasonal division points in China, falling on April 4-6 each year. After the festival, the temperature will rise up and rainfall increases. It is the high time for spring plowing and sowing. But the Qingming Festival is not only a seasonal point to guide farm work, it is more a festival of commemoration.

The Qingming Festival sees a combination of sadness and happiness.

This is the most important day of sacrifice. Both the Han and minority ethnic groups at this time offer sacrifices to their ancestors and sweep the tombs of the diseased. Also, they will not cook on this day and only cold food is served.

The Hanshi (Cold Food) Festival was usually one day before the Qingming Festival. As our ancestors often extended the day to the Qingming, they were later combined.

On each Qingming Festival, all cemeteries are crowded with people who came to sweep tombs and offer sacrifices. Traffic on the way to the cemeteries becomes extremely jammed. The customs have been greatly simplified today. After slightly sweeping the tombs, people offer food, flowers and favorites of the dead, then burn incense and paper money and bow before the memorial tablet.

In contrast to the sadness of the tomb sweepers, people also enjoy hope of Spring on this day. The Qingming Festival is a time when the sun shines brightly, the trees and grass become green and nature is again lively. Since ancient times, people have followed the custom of Spring outings. At this time tourists are everywhere.

People love to fly kites during the Qingming Festival. Kite flying is actually not limited to the Qingming Festival. Its uniqueness lies in that people fly kites not during the day, but also at night. A string of little lanterns tied onto the kite or the thread look like shining stars, and therefore, are called "gods lanterns."

The Qingming Festival is also a time to plant trees, for the survival rate of saplings is high and trees grow fast later. In the past, the Qingming Festival was called "Arbor Day". But since 1979, "Arbor Day" was settled as March 12 according to the Gregorian calendar.
