壹蘋派生活美語　你看看你～玩笑開到自己頭上了吧！

April Fools’ Day is celebrated every year on April 1. The holiday is an occasion to play harmless tricks on friends and family such as preparing fake food or taping a “kick me” note on someone’s back. Yet, nobody knows exactly how the tradition got started, but there are a number of theories. Some people think April Fools’ Day began as an ancient festival honoring a god who died every winter and came back to life every spring.

每年的四月一日大家都會慶祝愚人節。這個節日是對朋友和家人開些無傷大雅的玩笑的時機，例如準備假食物或在某人背上貼「踢我」的紙條。然而，沒有人確切知道這個傳統是如何開始的，但有許多理論。有些人認為愚人節起源於一個古老的節慶，紀念一位在每年冬天死去、春天復活的神。
