Easter and April Fool's-Journal 1

復活节与愚人节-日记



Dear journal,

新爱的日记:



Happy Easter!Easter is a day that celebrates life and rebirth.But some students could care less,and continue their drinking and partying.How was Friday?Had a good Good Friday?There were some disappointed faces here;since our school doesn't give any one-day holidays off,such as Good Friday.Anyway,the weekend went well for me,as usual,with nothing to talk about;I worked on my homework most of the time.

復活节快乐!復活节是庆祝生命和再生的节日。但是有些学生不太在意,仍继续他们的吃喝玩乐。星期五过得怎么样?过了个愉快的Good Friday吗?这儿有一些失望的眼神;因为像Good Friday这种只有一天的节日,我们学校是不放假的,不管怎样,对我来说,周末还过得不错,像往常一样,没有什么好说的,我大多数的时间都是在做功课。

Dear journal,

亲爱的日记:



Yesterday was Easter,but there wasn't much bunny spirit around.However,the spirit of April Fool's was in full swing everywhere today.It lightened 2 up our dull lives here,but when too many practical jokes are around,things might go wrong.Some jokes I heard include:a 5 dollars refund 3 for tuition 4 if you send a birthday greeting to the president of the university;and announcement of cutting off water supply for a day.Well,it's ok to play tricks;just remember to tell them,"April Fool!"Or else,they could take it for real.

昨天是復活节,但周围却没有很多兔宝宝的气氛。不过,今天愚人节的气氛却到处弥漫着。它调剂到了我们这种枯燥的日常生活,但当到处充满着恶作剧时,事情可能会错乱了。我听到的玩笑包括有:如果你寄一张生日贺卡给校长,学校就会退还5美元的学费;还有停水一天的通告。当然,开个玩笑是无伤大雅的,可是要记得告诉他们,愚人节快乐,要不然,别人有可能误以为真的。
