本课您将学到：pick up一词多意，turn into变化多，among和between比较讲解 If it is the morning of April 1 and you see some money on the ground, perhaps you should think twice before you pick it up. It might have been glued（粘） there by someone keen（热心的,热衷的） to turn you into an April fool. 一年三百六十五天，为什么偏偏选这一天来骗人呢？故事还得从十六世纪的罗马说起： The Roman Catholic Church decided that the calendar year in Europe would begin on January 1, instead of the original（最初的） date of April 1. Some people were slow to accept（接受） the new rule, and others called them ignorant（无知的） or stubborn（顽固的）. They became the first April fools. 而在这一天捉弄人的传统可能起源于法国，在那里，受害者被称作April fish，也许跟春天刚出生的小鱼容易被捕捉有关吧！ Nowadays, it is still a custom among French children to tie paper fish to each others backs（后背） on April 1. 「读书笔记」 如果四月一日的早晨你看到地上有钞票，（If it is the morning of April 1 and you see some money on the ground）捡之前一定要三思。（perhaps you should think twice before you pick it up）否则你可能就成了一个April fool，因为那可能是什么人贴在那儿，然后躲在一边急切的期待着你的行动。 |
