愚人節惡作劇創新花樣 整盅大戰揭幕

The day that gulliblepeople dread and prankstersadore is on its way.

讓容易上當的人擔心、讓愛惡搞的人開心的愚人節又來到了。

April Fools' Day begins in only a matter of hours and enthusiasts are already getting ready with some sneaky plans.

愚人節即將來到，惡作劇狂熱者已經準備好拿別人開涮了。

"I'm texting my mum after college &telling her I’m running away to marry some guy &watch her have a heart attackLOOL," one Twitter user tweeted.

一位大學生推特用戶寫道：“我下課後給我媽媽發短信，告訴她我要和別人私奔結婚了，她嚇得肯定快要心臟病發作了。哈哈。”

Another user tweeted that she wasn't going to be pulling any pranks this year after one turned out to be a little too close to home last year.

另一位用戶則寫道，自己今年不會再開玩笑了，因爲去年自己把玩笑開成真的了。

"Last year my April fools joke was I was pregnant," one user tweeted. "The next day I found out I really was. NOT doing that this year!!"

她寫道：“去年愚人節，我騙別人說自己懷孕了，結果第二天發現自己真的懷孕了。今年再也不能這麼幹了！”

While some of the pranks have become predictable like people telling their friends and families that they're pregnant or moving or in jail, it's tradition for big companies like Google and Starbucks to try to trick their users on the day with some of the more memorable pranks of the year.

有些愚人節玩笑是可以猜到的，比如騙親友自己懷孕了、搬家了、甚至進監獄了。谷歌和星巴克等大公司也有愚人節惡作劇的傳統，而且經常開些當年令人難忘的玩笑。

In 2000, Google began the tradition by telling everyone to sit in front of their computer so that Google could scan their brainwave activity, among other things. And last year, Google convinced users that they had a plug-in that would provide audio feedback depending on what users do and what they browse.

自2000年開始，谷歌公司在愚人節拿用戶“開涮”，那一年，谷歌告訴每位用戶只要坐在電腦前，公司就可以掃描到他們的腦電波活動，以及其它的活動。去年，谷歌公司又表示通過一款插件提供的音頻反饋，就可以弄清楚用戶正在用電腦做些什麼，以及正在瀏覽的內容。

Starbucks, meanwhile, jokingly introduced new sizes like including the 2-ounce Micraand 128-ounce Plenta.

星巴克公司則假稱推出“新杯型”，包括容量僅有2盎司的“迷你杯”和容量高達128盎司的“超大杯”。

And as pranksters are getting their ideas set, many are just planning on staying out of the fooling battle.

有些人已經想好了要開什麼玩笑，而另一些人則不打算加入愚人節整盅大戰。

"I am dreading April fools day tomorrow! Last year the crew got me bad, cream and bustard in hair doesn't go well ." one Twitter user lamented.

一位推特用戶失望地寫道：“我對明天的愚人節感到擔心，去年我被他們整瘋了，他們在我頭上塗了奶油，還扔上來一隻鴇鳥，糟糕透了。”
