Warming Up
It’s about the origin(起源) of April Fool’s Day and it’s celebrated around the world.
愚人节(April Fool’s Day )
Pre-reading
愚人节是英、美等国家一个特有的娱乐性节日。每年4月1日,朋友、熟人间往往会用一些玩笑来相互愚弄、取乐。被成功 “欺骗”了的人会被大家嬉笑为 “四月愚人”(April fool)。愚人节由于其特定的愉悦氛围和文化特质,深受大众喜爱。
愚人节虽非政府法定节假日,只是人们嬉笑逗乐而己,但社会影响力却十分巨大。这一天有的报纸、电视、广播等公众媒体甚至会煞有其事地刊登或播报自编的虚假信息,令公众上当,逗个乐子。如此这般被蒙在鼓里,相信上当的人不在少数。本单元课文就举出数个十分有名的例子。在这些国家,人们基于对这一节日既有文化的理解和接受,对这一天的恶作剧往往也不过一笑作罢,自嘲一不小心成了“四月愚人”,不会过分在意、深究。
如今,这一节日也还渐在世界的许多国家流行开来。不过,在诸如我国等非英语国家,由于人们所特文化认同感和对玩笑容忍度的差异,人们在愚人节互开玩笑,愚弄他人时应持审慎及得当的态度。
除April Fool’s Day 的写法外,该节日还可写作April Fools’ Day,但并不多见。此外,不少人也将这一书日称作“All Fools’ Day”。
