however, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on april 1. these backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. they were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.

this harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of april. the tradition eventually spread to england and scotland in the eighteenth century. it was later introduced to the american colonies of both the english and french. april fool's day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

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.

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. it eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.

pranks performed on april fool's day range from the simple, (such as saying, "your shoe's untied, or i accidentally stepped on your glasses!), to the elaborate. setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "april fool!"

practical jokes are a common practice on april fool's day. sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. the news media even gets involved. for instance, a british short film once shown on april fool's day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.

april fool's day is a "for-fun-only" observance. nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. nobody gets off work or school. it's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next april fool!

今天放学回到家里，听见妹妹正在念读发音不正确的英文生字时，我的脑海里便想起那次十分有趣搞笑的英文课堂。

那是三年级上学期的一节英文课。那天阳光普照，同学们都精神奕奕，准备上课。老师走进课室后便对我们说：“今天，我教大家一些较易读错的英文生字。”原来中国人很多时会把英文的生字发出不正确的.读音，如“花打”、“巴打”……有时“中文版”的英文会十分残忍，如“卖妈打”、“卖巴打”等。我们听后，都大笑起来，我更笑得肚子疼。

之后，老师把全班分成两组，进行英文生字读音比赛，大家都摩拳擦掌，准备一决高下及看看哪个同学会闹出笑话。经过一轮激烈又有趣的比赛，我方险胜对手。各组员都互相击掌，我一不小心，竟击在何敬轩的脸庞上，令他哭笑不得，全班同学看见后都笑得人仰马翻。

妹妹突然问我一些英文生字怎么读，令我立刻醒过来。我想：我一定要教好妹妹，以免她日后闹出大笑话。

今天，万里无云，春风拂面。我们学校举办一个春游活动，我特别兴奋。

today, there are no clouds in the sky, and the spring breeze blows. im very excited about a spring outing in our school.

去春游了。我们带好了食物就准备出发了。

i went on a spring outing. we brought the food and were ready to go.

在走的路上，我们一边哼着小曲，一边欣赏四周的风景。我看见小鸟在梨花枝头叽叽喳喳地叫着，好像在说：“春天来了，春天来了！”

on the way, we hummed and enjoyed the scenery. i saw birds chirping in the branches of pear blossom, as if to say: "spring is coming, spring is coming!"

我们走在郊外的小路上，看见了一片金黄的油菜花。油菜花里有许多蜜蜂在采蜜，同学们说：“蜜蜂好像一个个勤劳的士兵呢！”我还看见了一两只蝴蝶在花丛中飞来飞去。我说：“蝴蝶好像在空中翩翩起舞呢！”往右边一看，粉红的桃花开了，站在远处一看桃花好像一片火红的朝霞。

we walked on the country road and saw a golden rape flower. there are many bees gathering honey in rape flowers. the students said, "bees are like hard-working soldiers." i also saw a pair of butterflies flying around in the flowers. i said, "butterflies seem to dance in the air!" looking to the right, the pink peach blossom is blooming. standing in the distance, the peach blossom looks like a fiery morning glow.

到了目的地了，大家纷纷拿出自己带的食物，开始津津有味地吃了起来。我也拿起面包大口大口地吃了起来。忽然，我看见一位同学坐在那边发呆，他手中什么都没有拿。我连忙走过去问：“你为什么不吃呢？”“我忘带了，”他焦急地回答到。我想了想：老师平时都说同学碰到困难，我们要伸手帮助他。我掰了一大半面包给他，说：“你吃吧！”他说：“谢谢你。”我说：“不用谢。”这个时候，我感到很开心，因为我又帮助了一个需要帮助的人。

when we arrived at the destination, we took out our own food and began to eat it with relish. i also picked up the bread and ate it. suddenly, i saw a classmate sitting there in a daze. he had nothing in his hand. i hurriedly walked over and asked, "why dont you eat?" "i forgot," he replied anxiously. i think about it: the teacher usually says that the students are in trouble. we should reach out to help him. i broke most of the bread for him and said, "eat it!" he said, "thank you." i said, "no thanks." at this time, i feel very happy because i have helped another person in need.

时间很快就过去了，到了回学校的'时候了，我们排好队就回去了。在回去的路上，我看见笋芽儿正在脱掉一件又一件的衣服。嘴里不停地喊着：“我要快快长大，我要快快长大。”

time passed quickly. when it was time to go back to school, we lined up and went back. on the way back, i saw the bamboo shoots taking off clothes one by one. he kept shouting: "i want to grow up fast, i want to grow up fast."

我觉得这次春游玩得很开心，而且也知道了许多关于春天的新消息。

i think i had a good time in this spring outing, and i also know a lot of new news about spring.
