高中英语 3.5愚人节背景习俗知识大全素材
第五节愚人节愚人节(April Fool’s Day / All Fools’ Day)是一个比较特殊的节日。
时间是每年的四月一日(April 1st)。
按照西方国家的习俗，在愚人节这一天，人们可以任意说谎骗人，愚弄他人。
骗术越高，越能得到推崇。
在愚人节受到愚弄的人被称为 April Fool(四月愚人)。
按照他们的习惯，当一个人成功地使别人受到愚弄时，他就会笑着说 April Fool, 这时受愚弄的人恍然大悟，也会跟着哈哈大笑。
近年来，随着改革开放的不断深入，愚人节的习俗也开始在我国某些地方（尤其是学校）流行起来。
笔者曾经就做过一次实实在在的、不折不扣的 April Fool。
作为老师我对学生一直是关心爱护的，并且态度也比较随和，所以学生同我关系也很融洽，按理他们应该对我礼貌有增，但是他们却竟然在四月一日这一天找机会来“整”我。
记得当时我在一所私立学校教高中毕业班英语，同时兼任该校教务主任。
这所私立学校分设本部和分部两处，本部由校长亲自负责，分部由我负责。
作为英语教师，本来对四月一日这一天是比较敏感的，但是由于我当时工作比较繁忙，竟然忘了这天是四月一日(愚人节)。
记得那天上午我正在办公室备课，一个平时关系与我甚好的学生跑进来对我说“校长要我来通知你马上去本部开会”，看着他那一本正经的样子，我一点也没有怀疑这是一个“圈套”，于是我骑着自行车就往本部冲，等我急冲冲地赶到本部时，已是上气不接下气，一问校长，他说没有派人叫我上去开会，是不是搞错了，我当时真是笨到了极点，到这时我还没有怀疑这位学生的“诚实”性，因为我当时压根儿就没想到那天是四月一日，待我又从本部返回到分部时，那位“不诚实”的学生一见到我就大声笑着对我说 April Fool, 这时我才如梦初醒，于是笑着给了这位学生一拳头。
这里要说明一点的是，以愚人节活动来活跃气氛，放松一下大脑，为人们的生活增添一些乐趣，这本不是件坏事。
但是开玩笑或愚弄人应该有个分寸，要适可而止，不要只是一味地追求骗术的高明，而不顾他人的承受性，也就是说不要把自己一时的高兴建立在别人的痛苦之上。

愚人节的来历英语介绍
愚人节的来历英语介绍"The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year."——Mark TwainHow do you think April Fools' Day originated? Did some joker in biblical times decide to switch the frankincense and the myrrh? Was there a historic epidemic of spring fever-tomfoolery in a tiny Finnish town in the early1800s? Did a New Yorker in 1910find a cockroach in his coffee cup and decide to recreate the experience for his officemate, thereby sparking a famous April 1lawsuit?In a convincing testimonial to the saying that truth is stranger than fiction, we'll tell you the story, or at least present the most viable theory, of how April Fools' Day came to be. Once upon a time, back in 16th-century France, before puters, people celebrated New Year's Day on March 25,the advent of spring. It was a festive time. They partied steadily until April 1.In 1564,when the calendar reformed and became Gregorian, King Charles IX proclaimed, perhaps pompously, that New Year's Day should be celebrated on January 1instead of in the spring. Diehard conservatives resisted the change (or perhaps didn't hear about it due to the absence of e-mail)and continued to celebrate New Year's from March 25to April 1.During this period of spring festivity, the more flexible French mocked the rigid revelers by sending them foolish gifts and invitations tonon-existent parties. The victim of an April Fools' Day prank was called a "poisson d'avril," or an "April fish," because at that time of year, the sun was leaving the zodiacal sign of Pisces. April Fools' Day hit its stride (avoiding the banana peel)in England in the 18th century, and was brought to colonial America by the English, Scottish, and French. No fooling.April Fools' Day:An Unsolved History The first of April, some do say, Is set apart for All Fools' Day. But why the people call it so, Nor I, nor they themselves do know. But on this day are people sent On purpose for pure merriment.——Poor Robin's Almanac (1790)OK, who started it? Did the first Fools e from France, England, Mexico, Sweden or India? The truth, as in any good mystery, lies hidden in the shadows of time. Some say that April Fools Day began in many parts of the world at the same time, in celebration of the spring equinox. Pranks were a big part of even the most boring equinox parties, everywhere from Sweden to India. Others argue that the modern April Fool's Day followed the adoption of are formed calendar in France circa 1564.In medieval times, the octave of New Year's began on March 25with the eight days of festivities ending on April 1.With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, New Year's Daywas moved from April 1to January 1.Due to the slowness of "sandal-" munication back then and general resistance to change, the January 1date was not fully aepted for several years. T hose traditionalists who clung to April 1as New Year's Day were scoffed at as "fools" and sent fake party invitations and prank gifts. Widespread observance in England began in the 18th century. The English, Scotch and French introduced the custom to their colonies in America. One of our forefathers' favorite jokes was to send someone on a "fool's errand." For example, one might have been asked to go out and obtain a copy of "The History of Adam's Grandfather," or bring back some "sweet vinegar." In Scotland, April Fools' Day is 48 hours long. The second day is called Taily Day and is dedicated to pranks involving the buttocks. Taily Day's gift to posterior posterity is the still-hilarious "Kick Me" sign. The "foolish" tradition is celebrated in Mexico, too, but on a different day andfor different reasons." El Dia de los Inocentes," which is December 28,was set aside as a day for Christians to mourn Herod's slaughter of innocent children.Over time, the tone of that "unluckiest of days" has evolved from sadness to good-natured trickery. Even the media join the fun, often running bogus news stories and radio reports. We may never learn the true origin of April Fools Day.However, the deeper question facing us today is, "What's the best gag I can pull off?"It's Another New Year……but for what reason?"Happy New Year!" That greeting will be said and heard for at least the first couple of weeks as a new year gets under way. But the day celebrated as New Year's Day in modern America was not always January 1.The celebration of the new year is the oldest of all holidays. It was first observed in ancient Babylon about 4000years ago. In the years around 2000BC,Babylonians celebrated the beginning of a new year on what is now March 23,although they themselves had no written calendar.Late March actually is a logical choice for the beginning of a new year. It is the time of year that spring begins and new crops are planted. January 1,on the other hand, has no astronomical nor agricultural significance. It is purely arbitrary.The Babylonian new year celebration lasted for eleven days. Each day had its own particular mode of celebration, but it is safe to say that modern New Year's Eve festivities pale in parison.The Romans continued to observe the new year on March25,but their calendar was continually tampered with by various emperors so that the calendar soon became out of synchronization with the sun.In order to set the calendar right, the Roman senate, in153BC,declared January 1 to be the beginning of the new year. But tampering continued until Julius Caesar, in46BC,established what was e to be known as the Julian Calendar. It again established January 1 as the new year. But in order to synchronize the calendar with the sun, Caesar had to let the previous year drag on for 445days. Although in the first centuries AD the Romans continued celebrating the new year, the early Catholic Church condemned the festivities as paganism. But as Christianity became more widespread, the early church began having its own religious observances concurrently with many of the pagan celebrations, and New Year's Day was no different. New Years is still observed as the Feast of Christ's Circumcision by some denominations.During the Middle Ages, the Church remained opposed to celebrating New Years. January 1has been celebrated as a holiday by Western nations for only about the past 400years. Other traditions of the season include the making of New Year's resolutions. That tradition also dates back to the early Babylonians. Popular modern resolutions might include the promise to lose weight or quit smoking. The early Babylonian's most popular resolution was to return borrowed farm equipment.The Tournament of Roses Parade dates back to 1886.In that year, members of the Valley Hunt Club decorated their carriages with flowers. It celebrated the ripening of the orange crop in California.Although the Rose Bowl football game was first played as a part of the Tournament of Roses in 1902,it was replaced by Roman chariot races the following year. In 1916,thefootball game returned as the sports centerpiece of the festival.The tradition of using a baby to signify the new year was begun in Greece around 600BC.It was their tradition at that time to celebrate their god of wine, Dionysus, by parading a baby in a basket, representing the annual rebirth of that god as the spirit of fertility. Early Egyptians also used a baby as a symbol of rebirth.Although the early Christians denounced the practice as pagan, the popularity of the baby as a symbol of rebirth forced the Church to reevaluate its position. The Church finally allowed its members to celebrate the new year with a baby, which was to。
