No joke: Researchers say we are moving away from personal, real-world pranks and into a world of media-driven jokes and Internet tomfoolery. Does this spell the end of April Fools' Day as we know it?
絕非兒戲：研究人員表示，我們與切身的、現(xiàn)實(shí)生活的惡作劇漸行漸遠(yuǎn)，正走進(jìn)充斥著媒體炒作的笑話和網(wǎng)絡(luò)無(wú)聊蠢事的世界。這是否意味著我們所熟知的愚人節(jié)的消亡呢?
Though pranksters and joke-lovers in many countries now gleefully prepare to dupe friends and loved ones on April Fool's Day, no one knows exactly when or why, or even where, this tradition began.
盡管很多國(guó)家的惡作劇達(dá)人和笑話達(dá)人正興高采烈地準(zhǔn)備在愚人節(jié)拿愛(ài)人和朋友開(kāi)涮，但沒(méi)有人知道這種習(xí)俗開(kāi)始的確切時(shí)間、原因、甚至地點(diǎn)。
The importance of this day of prank-pulling freedom is no laughing matter. It's integral to American culture, a day of funny is important to society, and also helps humans bond. Researchers say our take on comedy is changing, though. And that may mean fewer pranks in the future.
愚人節(jié)能隨便開(kāi)玩笑，但它的重要性卻并非兒戲。它是美國(guó)文化不可缺少的一部分，搞笑的一天對(duì)社會(huì)很重要，有助于增進(jìn)人們的關(guān)系。研究人員表示，我們的喜劇口味正發(fā)生變化，這意味著未來(lái)的惡作劇會(huì)更少。
"The usual pranks that we would see 50 years ago are much less common," Gary Alan Fine, a sociologist at Northwestern University in Illinois, told LiveScience. "I think we are seeing the decline of interpersonal pranks."
美國(guó)伊利諾斯州西北大學(xué)的社會(huì)學(xué)家加里?艾倫?凡恩告訴科學(xué)生活網(wǎng)站：“50年前常見(jiàn)的惡作劇現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越少了。我認(rèn)為人與人之間的惡作劇正在減少。”
"At one time, prankstering played a bigger role in American society. Some of the prankstering was also very harmful," Joseph Boskin, a professor emeritus of history at Boston University, told LiveScience.
波士頓大學(xué)的退休歷史教授約瑟夫?博斯金告訴該網(wǎng)站：“惡作劇曾經(jīng)在美國(guó)社會(huì)中扮演著更重要的角色，有些笑話也很有害。”
This type of harmful prank-playing was usually directed toward marginalized sections of society. "Pranks have played a very big role in this situation, so I'm glad that the prankster part of it has declined, but the poking fun at life in general goes on," Boskin said.
社會(huì)的邊緣人群通常是這種有害的惡作劇的對(duì)象。博斯金說(shuō)：“惡作劇在這種情況下影響很大，因此我很高興見(jiàn)到惡作劇的衰亡，但一般來(lái)講拿生活開(kāi)涮的習(xí)慣還在繼續(xù)。”
The big problem is knowing where to draw the line between playful pranks and meanness on the verge of bullying, Fine said.
但凡恩說(shuō)，最大的問(wèn)題是知道如何分清幽默的惡作劇和近似于恃強(qiáng)凌弱行為的卑劣做法。
"Practical jokes of a certain sort shade into bullying, they shade into meanness and we are very concerned as a society about meanness," Fine said. "Finding out what that point is, is difficult for a society."
凡恩說(shuō)：“某種類型的惡作劇漸漸會(huì)變成欺負(fù)人，漸漸變成卑鄙行為，我們對(duì)充滿卑鄙行為的社會(huì)心存憂慮。但對(duì)社會(huì)而言，發(fā)現(xiàn)這點(diǎn)很困難。”
Because of our conscientiousness and desire to ensure equality, Americans may have drawn that line too far along the spectrum, hedging out playful pranking. And traditional pranking may be left out in the cold, Fine said.
由于美國(guó)民眾懷有確保平等的良知和意愿，在區(qū)別這兩類時(shí)可能存在很大偏頗，將很多幽默的惡作劇排斥在外。這樣一來(lái)，傳統(tǒng)的惡作劇可能就被冷落了。
