“愚人节”英语到底怎么说？

愚人节英文表达为——April Fools' Day

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。

According to the textual research of British historians, the Encyclopedia of the English people records that "April Fool's Day" is a lying festival that appeared after the religious revolution in the 15th century AD.

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。

At that time, Philip II, the king of Spain, once established a "heretic Inquisition", which was regarded as heresy as long as he was not a Catholic. He was sentenced to death on April 1 every year.

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。

The subjects were very frightened, so they took the pleasure of lying and joking every day to dilute their fear and hatred of the rulers.

其后，沿用日久，演变为今日之“愚人节”。

Since then, it has been used for a long time and evolved into today's "April Fool's Day".
