愚人节也称万愚节、幽默节，是西方社会民间传统节日，节期在每年4月1日。愚人节与古罗马的嬉乐节和印度的欢悦节有相似之处。 在欧美一些国家，这一天，人们以多种方式开周围的人的玩笑，上当者当被告知是愚人节时，才恍然大悟，所以这一天总是能够引出许多笑话，不过某些玩笑也会因开得过大而引起人们的恐慌，或改变形势衍生成为(网络)谣言。但是，玩笑最晚只能开到中午12点，这是约定俗成的严格规矩。
愚人节基本简介 每年的四月一日，是西方的民间传统节日——愚人节(April Fool's Day)，也称万愚节。对于它的起源众说纷纭：一种说法认为这一习俗源自印度的“诠俚节”。该节规定，每年三月三十一日的节日这天，不分男女老幼，可以互开玩笑、互相愚弄欺骗以换得娱乐。 较普遍的说法是起源于法国。1564年，法国首先采用新改革的纪年法——格里历(即通用的阳历)，以一月一日为一年的开端，改变了过去以四月一日作为新年开端的历法。新历法推行过程中，一些因循守旧的人反对这种改革仍沿袭旧历，拒绝更新。 他们依旧在四月一日这天互赠礼物，组织庆祝新年的活动。主张改革的人对这些守旧者的做法大加嘲弄。聪明滑稽的人在四月一日这天给顽固派赠送假礼物，邀请他们参加假庆祝会，并把这些受愚弄的人称为“四月傻瓜”或“上钩之鱼”。以后，他们在这天互相愚弄，日久天长便成为法国流行的一种风俗。该节在十八世纪流传到英国，后来又被英国早期移民带到了美国。
起初，任何美国人都可以炮制骇人听闻的消息，而且不负丝毫的道德和法律责任，政府和司法部门也不会追究。相反，谁编造的谎言最离奇、最能骗取人们相信，谁还会荣膺桂冠。这种做法给社会带来不少混乱，因而引起人们的不满。人们节日期间的愚弄欺骗已不再像过去那样离谱，而是以轻松欢乐为目的。 愚人节的英文词汇介绍 1.April fool’s day 愚人节 2.Happy April fool’s day!愚人节快乐! 3.prank /præŋk/ 恶作剧，开玩笑 愚人节的英文习俗介绍 Fool's Day, people are often a family gathering, with daffodils and daisies decorated the room.
