crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual。 Here you can see two

champion， has won it every year since 1991。 And that ends our special bulletin for

today， Thursday， April lst. We're now going back to the studio.’

愚人节的由来-AprilFoolsDay(中英对照)

愚人节的由来-AprilFoolsDay(中英对照)

In sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April first. It

was celebrated in much the same way as it is today with parties and dancing into the

late hours of the night. Then in 1562, Pope Gregory introduced a new calendar for the

Christian world, and the new year fell on January first. There were some people,

however, who hadn't heard or didn't believe the change in the date, so they continued

to celebrate New Year's Day on April first. Others played tricks on them and called

them April fools. In France today, April first is called Poisson d'Avril. French children

fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs. When the young fool

discovers this trick, the prankster yells Poisson d'Avril!

16 世纪的时候，法国人是在4月1号庆祝新年的。他们那时候过新年的方法和我们现在几乎一样，人们设宴、跳舞直到深夜。到了1562年，教皇格里高利颁布了基督教新历，按照新历，新年这一天改到了1月1号。但是，有些人没能听说或者听说了但不相信新年改天了。他们还是按照老习惯在4月1号这天过年。其他人就拿他们开玩笑，把他们叫做“愚人”。如今，法国人把愚人节叫做“上钩的鱼”。法国孩子会在朋友的背上贴一条鱼，以此来戏弄别人。当那个受骗上当的小朋友发现以后，开玩笑的人就大叫“上钩的鱼儿”！
