According to British historians, according to the encyclopedia of the English, "April fool's day" is a lie festival that appeared after the religious revolution in the 15th century.
At that time, Philip ii, king of Spain, established a "heresy tribunal". Anyone who was not a Catholic was considered a heresy and was sentenced to death on April 1 every year.
The subjects were so frightened that they told lies and made fun of them every day to dilute their fear and hatred of the ruler. Since then, continue to use for a long time, evolved into today's "April fool's day".
译文:
据英国历史学家的考证:英人百科全书里面则是记载着:“愚人节”乃是公元十五世纪宗教革命之后始出现的一个说谎节日。
那时西班牙王腓力二世曾经建立一个“异端裁判所”,只要不是天主教徒就被视为异端,在每年四月一日处以极刑,也就是死刑。
臣民们感到非常恐怖,于是每天以说谎取笑为乐,来冲淡对统治者之恐惧与憎恨。其后,沿用日久,演变为今日之“愚人节”。

愚人节的节日习俗:
愚人节时,人们常常组织家庭聚会,用水仙花和雏菊把房间装饰一新。典型的传统做法是布置假的环境,可以把房间布置得像过圣诞节一样.也可以布置得像过新年一样,待客人来时,则祝贺他们“圣诞快乐”或“新年快乐”,令人感到别致有趣。
四月一日的鱼宴。也是别开生面的。参加鱼宴的请帖,通常是用纸板做成的彩色小鱼。餐桌用绿、白两色装饰起来.中间放上鱼缸和小巧玲珑的钓鱼竿,每个钓竿上系一条绿色飘带,挂着送给客人的礼物或是一个精巧的赛璐珞鱼,或是一个装满糖果的鱼篮子。
在愚人节的聚会上,还有一种做假菜的风俗。有人曾经描述过一个典型的愚人节菜谱:先是一道“色拉”,莴苣叶上撒满了绿胡椒,但是把叶子揭开后,才发现下面原来是牡蛎鸡尾酒;
第二道菜是"烤土豆",其实下面是甜面包屑和鲜蘑;此后上的菜还有用蟹肉作伪装的烧鸡和埋藏在西红柿色拉下面的覆盆子冰淇淋。饭后,客人还可以从药丸盒里取食糖果。
不过愚人节最典型的活动还是大家互相开玩笑,用假话捉弄对方。有的人把细线拴着的钱包丢在大街上,自己在暗处拉着线的另一端。一旦有人捡起钱包,他们就出其不意地猛然把钱包拽走。还有人把砖头放在破帽子下面搁在马路当中,然后等着看谁来了会踢它。
小孩们会告诉父母说自己的书包破了个洞,或者脸上有个黑点.等大人俯身来看时,他们就一边喊着“四月傻瓜”。一边笑着跑开去。总之,每逢愚人节这一天,动物园和水族馆还会接到不少打给菲什(鱼)先生泰歌(老虎)先生的电话,常常惹得工作人员掐断电话线,以便减少麻烦。

April Fool's Day 愚人节
1st April is a day to be careful, or you could easily get tricked by someone. It's April Fool's Day, a "for-fun-only" observance, a day when people traditionally like to try to make a fool of someone else and laugh at them.
Origins(愚人节起源)
There are lots of theories surrounding the origins of the day. As we look back in time, many ancient predecessors of April Fool's Day are found.
A French legendry 法国关于愚人节的传说
The most widespread theory about the origin of April Fool's Day links the day to the calendar reform in France.
In 1582 France became the first country to switch from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. This meant that the beginning of the year was moved from the end of March 25th and April 1st, various jokes would be played on him. This story might explain why April 1st became the date of the modern holiday.
Mythological roots 关于愚人节的神话起源
There have been quite a few attempts to provide mythological explanations for the rise of April Fool's Day.
One story dates back to Roman mythology, particularly the myth of Ceres and Proserpina. In Roman mythology Pluto, the God of the dead, abducted Proserpina called out to her mother Ceres for help. But Ceres, who could only hear the echo of her daughter'svoice, searched in vain for Proserpina. The fruitless search of Ceres for her daughter was commemorated during the Roman festival of Cerealia and believed by some to have been the mythological antecedent of the fool's errands popular on April 1st.
British folklore 英国民间传说
British folklore links April Fool's Day to the town of Gotham. According to the legend, it was traditional in the 13th century for any road that the King travelled over to become public property. People in Gotham didn't want to lose their main road and spread a false story to stop the King. A messenger was sent to Gotham after King John learned the people's trick. But when the messenger arrived in Gotham he found the town was full of lunatics who were engaged in foolish activities such as drowning fish or attempting to cage birds in roofless fences. The King fell for the hoax and declared the town too foolish to warrant punishment. And ever since then, April Fool's Day has supposedly commemorated their trickery.
Anthropological explanations 人类学的解释
Anthropological and cultural historians provide their own explanations for the rise of April Fool's Day. According to them, the celebration traces its roots back to festivals marking the springtime.
Spring is the time of year when the weather becomes fickle, as if Nature is playing tricks on man, and festivals occurring during the spring traditionally mirrored this sense of whimsy and surprise. They often involved temporary inversions of the social order. Normal behavior no longer governed during the brief moment of transition as the old world died and the new cycle of seasons was born. Jokes, trickery, and the turning upside down of status expectations were all allowed.
In addition, the linkage between April Fool's Day and the springtime is seen in another story that traces the origin of the custom back to the abundance of fish to be found in French streams during early April when the young fish had just hatched. These young fish were easy to fool with a hook and lure. Therefore, the French called them "Poisson d'Avril" or "April Fish". Soon it became customary to fool people on April 1st, as a way of celebrating the abundance of "foolish" fish.
Celebrated 庆祝活动
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!" (April Fish!)
In Scotland, 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.
Mexico and many Spanish-speaking countries have Innocent's Day, on December 28, to make "innocent" a person with jokes and hoaxes. The origin for the pranking is derived from the Catholic feast day Day of the Holy Innocents for the infants slaughtered by King Herod at the time of Jesus' birth.
The New York April Fools' Day Parade was created in 1986 to remedy a glaring omission in the long list of New York's annual ethnic and holiday parades. These events fail to recognize the importance of April 1st, the day designated to commemorate the perennial folly of mankind. In an attempt to bridge that gap and bring people back in touch with their inherent foolishness, the parade annually crowns a King of Fools from the parading look-alikes.
Gag gifts 恶作剧的礼物
What kind of pranks do people play on April Fool's Day?
Starving students
A good prank for most university's is to print up a bunch of fake leaflets advertising a non-existent restaurant that has cheap eats and offers free food with the coupons printed on the leaflets. Most colleges have a student union, so the leaflets can be dropped off there and pinned up on various bulletin boards around campus.
When this is done, you can sit back and watch the marks wandering around looking for their free lunches.
Go Fish, Goldfish
When you are at someone's house and they are having a party or people over, go to their main bathroom and put about a dozen goldfish in their toliet. This prank is hilarious because people won't know what to do. They either go to the bathroom and flush the fish or they let them stay in there until someone scoops them out and they will end up with a dozen goldfish!
Sticky Glue
You'll need a little bit of lightly sticky glue for this one--I suggest simply using a glue stick and smearing it. Put the glue on someone's seat--imagine the trouble they'll have getting up!

愚人节的由来英文怎么说?
April Fool's Day
愚人节
While popular in the U.S., the April Fool's Day tradition is even more prevalent in European countries, such as France and Great Britain. Although the roots of the traditional trickings are unclear, the French and the British both have claims on the origin of the celebration.
愚人节的习俗在美国是很流行的,在欧洲国家如法国和英国就更是如此了。虽然这种愚弄人习俗的起源不甚清楚,但法国人和英国人却都声称这种庆祝活动是由他们开始的。
One theory holds that the first April Fool's Day was on April 1 of the year when King of France instituted the new calendar. This new system placed the day that had formerly been the first day of a new year on April 1. Many people were reluctant to adjust to the new calendar and continued to celebrateNew Year's Day on what had become the first day of April. Thus, they become the first April fools. Others began to give gag gifts on the day to mock the foolishness of those who continued to celebratethe new year on April 1.
有一种说法是,第一个愚人节始于法国新历法实行那年的4月1日,在这一天法国国王宣布实行新历法。这种新历法将过去的新的一年第一天定在4月1日。很多人却不愿意按新的历法行事,还继续在根据新的历法已经是4月的.第一天庆祝新年,于是他们就成了第一批愚人。另一些人开始在这一天送恶作剧的礼物来取笑那些继续在4月1日庆祝新年的人。
An English story about the day, however, holds that it began sometime during the 1200s. At the time, King John of England was in the habit of making a road out of nearly every path he walked regularly. The citizens of one particular farm village were aware of this. To avoid having their green meadows and pastures disturbed with one of the king's roads, they built a fence that prevented the king from walking through their countryside. The king sent a group of messengers to inform the villagers that they must remove the barrier. Upon hearing that the king was planning to do this, however, the villagers developed a plan of their own. When community of lunatics, with people behaving in a bizarre manner, throwing things and running around wildly. The messengers, alarmed at what they had found, reported to King John that these people were so mad as to be beyond punishment. So, the villagers saved their farmland by tricking the King.In Great Britain, tradition only allows April Fool's tricks from midnight to noon on April 1. Those who try to play tricks in the afternoon become the fools themselves.themselves.
关于这一天,英国的一个故事则说它是始于13世纪的某一天。那时,英格兰的约翰国王习惯于将他经常走的几乎每一条小道都修成一条路。有一个乡村的居民知道了这个情况。为了保护他们绿色的草地和牧场免受国王修路所造成的破坏,他们修了一道篱笆来阻挡国王在他们的乡间穿行。国王派了一队使者去通报村民们必须拆除障碍。在听到国王打算这么做时,村民们也想出了自己的办法。当使者到达时,他们看到这儿的人像一群疯子似的,样子怪诞,乱扔东西,四下疯跑。使者们惊讶于他们看到的情景,向约翰国王报告说,这些人疯得厉害根本没法处罚。村民们就这样骗过了国王,保护了自己的农田。在英国,按习俗在4月1日只允许从半夜到中午的这段时间可以搞愚人的恶作剧,到下午还这么做的人就成了愚人了。
