How to Avoid Being Fooled on April Fool's Day?

如何避免愚人節(jié)被騙呢?

Many people enjoy a good April Fool's Day joke, but if you don't like being fooled, it's probably not your favorite holiday. There are some things you can do to avoid being fooled on April Fool's Day, however. Stay on your guard at all times and follow these tips.

許多人都喜歡享受愚人節(jié)所帶來的快樂。但是如果你不愿意被人愚弄,那這天就不是你喜愛的節(jié)日了。保持高度警惕，遵循以下策略，你就可以避免在愚人節(jié)被整到了。

Step 1策略一

Remember what day it is at all times. Think about it when you get up, while you eat breakfast, as you're driving and throughout your daily activities. You won't be caught off guard by simply failing to remember that it's April Fool's Day.

當(dāng)你起床，吃早餐，開車等做諸如此類的日?；顒訒r，一定要記得今天是愚人節(jié)。如果你忘記這天是愚人節(jié)，你很可能就會被整到。

Step 2策略二

Take the time to think about everything someone says to you. Analyze the probability of truthfulness in each statement and don't respond until you know whether or not it is true.

花點(diǎn)時間思考別人對你所說的話，認(rèn)真分析每句話的真實(shí)性。在不知道他們說的是真是假的情況下，不要回復(fù)他們。

Step 3策略三

Avoid conversations that begin with someone saying to you, "Guess what!" or "Check this out!" On April Fool's Day, there is a high probability that these are traps to get you to fall for a prank or believe a false statement. Instead of responding, just say, "No thanks," and walk away.

愚人節(jié)這天，當(dāng)有人跟你說“猜猜這是什么？”或“看看這個”時，不要理會他們，這很有可能是整你的陷阱。你只說句“不，謝謝”，然后走開。

Step 4 策略四

Remain in familiar territory. Don't do anything outside of your normal routine when you are around others on April Fool's Day. Once you're doing something unfamiliar, it is easy to let your guard down and you'll be more vulnerable to being fooled.

愚人節(jié)這天，要保持在熟悉的地方做熟悉的事，不要做和以往不同的事。一旦你做了你不熟悉的事，你的警覺性會很容易降低,你就會更容易被騙了。

Step 5 策略五

Resist the urge to play pranks on others. If you don't want to be fooled yourself, don't give others a reason to retaliate by pulling pranks on you. If you don't want to be fooled you'll have to stay as unnoticed as possible.

抑制你想愚弄別人的沖動。你如果不想被愚弄,也不要給別人一個報復(fù)你的理由。如果你不想被愚弄，你要盡可能的不要引起別人的注意。

Step 6 策略六

Stay home and avoid contact with others if all else fails. Don't answer the door of phone if someone calls and stay off the Internet and away from email. If you completely avoid people for the day, there's no way you can be fooled.

如果以上這些策略你都做不到的話，你就呆在家里,不要跟任何人接觸。不要開門，不要打電話，不要上網(wǎng)，不要打開電子郵件。如果你全天都不與人接觸，肯定就不會被愚弄到了。
