+ 加入清单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。

清明,是我国二十四个节气之一。按阳历来说,它是在每年的 4月4日至6日之间。古人很重视这个节气。作为节气,清明时期正是我国大部地区,万木凋零的寒冬已经过去,风和日丽,莺飞草长,柳绿桃红,生机勃勃故称之为清明。首先,这个节气与农业生产有密切的关系,农谚说:“清明前后,点瓜种豆”, 正是春耕播种的大好季节。其次,清明也是祭祖和扫墓的日子。唐代诗人杜牧的诗云:“清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂。借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村。”写出了清明节的特殊气氛。扫墓俗称上坟,祭祀死者的一种活动。汉族和一些少数民族大多都是在清明节扫墓。
清明祭祖扫墓,是中华民族慎终追远、敦亲睦族及行孝品德的具体表现。自古以来,清明扫墓不光是纪念自己的祖先,对历史上为人民立过功,做过好事的人物,人民都会纪念他。本周四,
我怀着崇敬的心情, 到少年宫认真观看了解了烈士事迹,为这些伟大的英雄献上亲手制作的千纸鹤。通过这次活动,我更加深刻地感受到我们现在的幸福生活来之不易,是革命先烈用宝贵的生命与鲜血换来的,还要珍惜现在的大好时光,长大后报效祖国,成为祖国的栋梁!
【延伸阅读】清明节风俗
1) 扫墓
清明时节祭扫祖坟(俗称"上坟")。无锡的传统民俗较有代表性。扫墓时要挑些新士壅坟茔,而且凡新坟一定要在清明前祭扫,旧坟可以过清明.但不能过立夏。新媳妇一定要去祭扫祖坟,俗称"上花坟"。扫墓时用荤、素菜肴和酒、饭等祭奠。后用干果糕点等替代。 时至今日,在烈士陵园缅怀革命先烈成为清明节里很重要的内容,在祭炎黄二祖、悼念自己的先祖的同时,缅怀先烈的丰功伟绩,使今天的清明活动具有了更重要的教育意义。
2) 踏青
清明时节,气候温暖和煦,大地皆春,处处鲜花嫩草,一片生机盎然,人们纷纷外出踏青。在无锡,踏青的最好场所莫过于惠山。不上惠山的,上城墙绕城而走,叫登高踏青。东门东林庵一带,为士女聚集处,故有"东林庵里看桃花"的说法。这天,也是东乡胶山和北乡斗山的节场,附近还有赛会,故斗山别名清明山。人们都上山踏青,赶节场,观看赛会。从元宵节至清明节,大人孩子,三五成群,到野外放凤筝,别有情趣。
3) 门旁插柳和戴柳枝帽
清明节那天,有家家门口插柳条的风俗。在一些地区,还流行小孩带柳枝帽的风俗。
门旁插柳和戴柳枝帽习俗的来源也是根据介子椎的传说。据说,介子椎是死在柳树下面的。介子椎死后的第二年晋文公率领群臣到绵山致祭,一行人先在山下寒食一日,第二天才上山。那棵柳树,已经长出了翠绿的嫩条。晋文公看了,心中忽有所感,便走上前去,掐了一丝,编成一个圈儿带在头上。随从的臣下看了,也纷纷仿效他折柳插头。晋文公便把这棵柳树赐名为清明柳,把这一天定为清明节。
