Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays,the history of April Fool's Day,sometimes called All Fool's Day,is not totally clear.There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar.Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time,from celebrations involving the first day of spring.
The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1564,in France.Prior to that year,the new year was celebrated for eight days,beginning just after the first day of spring.The celebration typically ended on April 1.With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX,the Gregorian Calendar was introduced,and New Year's Day was moved to January 1.
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 feast,so to speak,with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.

这我自己翻的.
四月一日愚人节,又称所有愚人的节日,和其他的一些节日不同,因为它的历史并不清楚.起初愚人节其实并不是一个能在日历上被准确标明的节日.一些人相信它是同时发源于几个不同的文明的,为了庆祝春季的第一天.
这样的传统最早可以追溯到1564年的法国.在1564年之前,人们从春季的第一天开始,进行八天的庆祝.庆祝一般在四月一日结束.在查尔斯九世改革历法之后,格列高利日历被启用,新年被定在了一月一日.
但是,在一个新闻只能通过口口相传的年代里,很多人并不知道这个改革.另外一些相对顽固的人则拒绝接受新的历法,并仍旧在四月一日庆祝新年.这些守旧的人被大众称为“傻瓜”.他们遭到了怀疑,并经常被戏弄,称为取笑的对象.
这样的行为经过长期发展,成为了了一种在四月一日进行恶作剧的传统.这种传统在18世纪终于传播到了英格兰和苏格兰,后来又传播到了美国等等其他英国以及法国的殖民地.从此四月一日愚人节称为了一种国际化的娱乐,当然,各个国家的人有他们自己特别的幽默用于他们的朋友和家人.
