一些國家的愚人節(jié)習俗

美國

Today Americans play small tricks on friends and strangers alike on the first of April. One common trick on April Fool's Day, or All Fool's Day, is pointing down to a friend's shoe and saying, Your shoelace is untied. School children might tell a classmate that school has been canceled. Whatever the trick, if the innocent victim falls for the joke the prankster yells, April Fool! 如今，每逢愚人節(jié)，不管對方是否相識，美國人都會開些小玩笑。在愚人節(jié)比較常見的把戲是指著別人的鞋子說：“你鞋帶沒系。”學生可能會騙同學說學校放假了。不管是什么樣的招數(shù)，只要那個無辜的受害者中技了，惡作劇的人就會尖叫：“愚人!”

蘇格蘭

In Scotland, for example, April Fool's Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.

在蘇格蘭, 例如, 愚人節(jié)實際上有 2 天的慶祝時間。第二天專門對人體身后的區(qū)域胡鬧。這一天被稱作Taily節(jié)。“踢我”跡象的來源可以追溯至此。

墨西哥

Mexico's counterpart of April Fool's Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod(about 73 B.C.- 4 B.C.). It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.

墨西哥的“愚人節(jié)”發(fā)生在 12 月 28 日。以前, 這一天是用來紀念被希律王（約公元前73至公元前4年）屠殺的無辜的孩子。后來演變成為包含惡作劇和詭計的紀念日。

法國

The April 1 tradition in France includes poisson d'avril (literally "April's fish"), attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim's back without being noticed. This is also widespread in other nations, such as Italy (where the term "April's fish" is also used to refer to any jokes done during the day).

西班牙

In Spanish-speaking countries, similar pranks are practiced on December 28, the Massacre of the Day of the Holy Innocents. This custom also exists in certain areas of Belgium, including the province of Antwerp. Flemish tradition is for children to lock out their parents or teachers, only letting them in if they promise to bring treats the same evening or the next day.

伊朗

In Iran, people play jokes on each other on April 3, the 13th day of the Persian calendar new year (Norouz). This day is called "Sizdah bedar" (Outdoor thirteen). It is believed that people should go out on this date in order to escape the bad luck of number 13 (number) As lucky, unlucky, or 13.

英國、加拿大、澳大利亞、新西蘭

In the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand the April 1 tradition exists, however it is accepted that if somebody pulls an April Fools' Trick after 12pm (mid-day), then the person pulling the trick is actually considered the fool (this caveat may also exist in other countries).

丹麥

In Denmark the 1st of May is known as "Maj-kat", meaning quite simply "May-cat", and is identical to April Fools' day, though Danes also celebrate April Fools' day ("aprilsnar").
