最為流行的說(shuō)法是AprilFool’sDay起源于法國(guó)。1564年，法國(guó)首先采用新的記年法，把1月1日作為一年之始。但一些因循守舊的人依然按照舊歷固執(zhí)地在4月1日這一天慶祝新年。主張改革的人對(duì)這些守舊者大加嘲弄，在4月1日那天送他們假禮品，邀請(qǐng)他們參加假招待會(huì)，并把上當(dāng)受騙的保守分子稱為“四月傻瓜”或“上鉤的魚”。從此，人們?cè)?月1日互相愚弄，便成為法國(guó)流行的風(fēng)俗。18世紀(jì)初，愚人節(jié)習(xí)俗傳到英國(guó)，接著又被英國(guó)的早期移民帶到了美國(guó)。如今，愚人節(jié)已成了國(guó)際性的節(jié)日。AprilFool’sDay愚人節(jié)1.WhenisAprilFool’sDay?April1st.2.WhatdopeopleusuallydoonAprilFool’sDay?Peopleplayjokesoneachother.Peoplefooleachother.3.“HeisanAprilFool.”Whatdoesitmean?Itmeanshewasfooledbyothers.戲弄
