Easter and April Fool's-Journal
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 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 for tuition 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。
