小伙伴們早上好~

這兩天的魔都簡(jiǎn)直一秒入夏，氣溫直逼30度，而我的內心只有這樣一句話(huà)……

昨天是西方的“愚人節”，一個(gè)據說(shuō)可以捉弄人的節日

雖然不知道西方人為啥那么無(wú)聊，連搞惡作劇都可以專(zhuān)門(mén)弄個(gè)節日，但是今年，顯然有人已經(jīng)蠢蠢欲動(dòng)了……

@Townsville City Council (湯斯維爾市議會(huì )):

（湯斯維爾為澳大利亞一城市）

In honour of Townsville's very own Rugby League legend Johnathan Thurston, Council has decided to immortalise his likeness into Castle Hill's eastern face.

議會(huì )這圖ps得真是……很魔性了……

每當愚人節，一些“老不正經(jīng)”的媒體也會(huì )搞些假新聞來(lái)以假亂真、愚弄大家。

比如英國著(zhù)名小報Daily Mail, 去年就報過(guò)哈里王子和女友已秘密結婚的假消息……

顯然，最后大家都白激動(dòng)了一場(chǎng)……（這媒體真無(wú)聊）

好吧~既然是愚人節，那么咱們就來(lái)圍觀(guān)下，下面十則亦真亦假的新聞——你能辨別得出哪幾則是真的嗎？

滿(mǎn)分10分，看你能拿幾分？

1. Burger King introduces Whoppers for left-handed people.

漢堡王推出了一款左撇子專(zhuān)用的巨無(wú)霸漢堡

×這則新聞是假的

Burger King published a full page advertisement promising the revolutionary burger in 1998. Thousands of customers went into restaurants to request the new meal, while many others requested their own 'right handed' version.

這也算是漢堡王的一個(gè)經(jīng)典惡作劇了：現在市面上的漢堡都是給右撇子準備的，所以我們推出了左撇子專(zhuān)用漢堡——左撇子們！你們再也不用把漢堡旋轉個(gè)180度再吃啦�。ㄟ@是怎樣的智商……）

2. Big Ben's clock face is being replaced with a digital display like an alarm clock.

大本鐘的鐘面會(huì )用電子顯示器來(lái)替代了

×這則新聞是假的

In 1980 the BBC reported that Big Ben, in order to keep up with the times, was going to be given a digitalreadout. The prank was so good it's been rehashed by less imaginative news organisations on more recent April Fool's Day. The gag even appeared in the episode of The Simpsons set in the future when Lisa gets married.

readout: 讀出、讀數器

prank: 惡作劇

gag: 插科打諢

原來(lái)BBC也是個(gè)老不正經(jīng)的……嗯哼。

3. Priest carries out a mass exorcism of school children to banish The Devil.

有牧師搞了一場(chǎng)大型驅魔儀式，來(lái)給學(xué)生們驅鬼辟邪

√這則新聞是真的

The 1,000 young people, from schools in the town of Gryfice, north-western Poland, were attending the three-day camp to help "young people explore God and devote themselves to spiritual renewal through prayer". But instead of singing songs and praying, priest Tomas Wieczorek, 37, was more interested in excorcising their demons and replacing them with God.Unitrans世聯(lián)翻譯公司在您身邊,離您最近的翻譯公司,心貼心的專(zhuān)業(yè)服務(wù)translation company,全球領(lǐng)先的翻譯與技術(shù)解決方案供應商,北京翻譯公司、上海翻譯公司頂級品牌。無(wú)論在本地,還是廣州、深圳、天津、重慶、蘇州、香港、澳門(mén)、臺北,海外,Unitrans.cn世聯(lián)的英文翻譯等專(zhuān)業(yè)服務(wù)為您的事業(yè)加速！

嗯，城市套路深……

4. Trees cultivated that can grow spaghetti.

培養出了新的樹(shù)，能長(cháng)出意面的那種！

×這則新聞是假的

In 1957 Panorama broadcast a three-minute segmentabout a bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree.

segment: 片段、部分

bumper: 豐盛的、豐富的

一個(gè)假新聞居然可以弄出3分鐘的片子……BBC也真是夠拼的，難怪把那么多人都唬住了

5. New species of dinosaur discovered called the Sibirosaurus.

人類(lèi)發(fā)現了一種新恐龍，名字叫“西伯利亞龍”

√這則新聞是真的

Experts from Russia announced the discovery of the new dinosaur, with fossilised remains found in Siberia. They say the giant beast lived 100 million years ago and is related to the also fake-sounding Titanosaur, which was estimated to have weighed up to 100 tonnes and was up to 40 metres long.

fake-sounding: 聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是假的的

Titanosaur: 雷龍

其實(shí)我沒(méi)明白為啥“西伯利亞龍”“雷龍”之類(lèi)的聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是假的，就不允許人家有萌萌噠名字嗎

6. Dead woman wakes up in morgue and says 'where am I?'

太平間里，有已被確認死亡的女人醒了過(guò)來(lái)，問(wèn)：“我在哪兒？”

√這則新聞是真的

The 92-year-old had been pronounced dead hours earlier by a doctor at a retirement home in the city of Gelsenkirchen and taken to the Munstermann funeral parlour. When the funeral director recovered he saw the old woman lying in the coffin with both eyes open during the bizarre incident in March.

funeral parlour: 殯儀館

來(lái)，向天再借五百年！

7. Documentary made about flying penguins.

制作了關(guān)于會(huì )飛的企鵝的紀錄片

×這則新聞是假的

The BBC struck again in 2008, announcing that camera crews filming near the Antarctic for its natural history series Miracles of Evolution had captured footage of Adélie penguins taking to the air. It even offered video footage which became one of the most viewed clips on the internet.

沒(méi)想到你是這種BBC

8. Woman decorates dog poo with strawberries and cream.

有個(gè)女人用草莓和奶油來(lái)裝飾狗的便便

√這則新聞是真的

Last year Theresa Ritchie wanted to highlight the problem of lazy dog owners failing to pick up after their animals in an amusing way. A member of Pick Up Peterhead, Theresa also used Nutella (一種巧克力醬) to the same effect according to the Evening Express.

amusing: 有趣的、好玩的

真是難為了這位大佬了……為了解決鏟屎官們不鏟屎的惡習，要耗費多少的草莓、奶油、巧克力醬

9. Giant rats the size of cats are roaming the streets of Birmingham.

和貓一樣大的巨型老鼠們，在伯明翰的街頭悠閑亂躥

√這則新聞是真的

Well, that's what a city pest controller claimed last year, saying he had seen a rodentthat measured a whoppingtwo feet. It came just days after huge rodent dubbed Ratzilla was snared in Sweden, the Birmingham Mail reported.

rodent: 嚙齒類(lèi)動(dòng)物

whopping: 巨大的 （還記得前面漢堡王的“whopper”巨無(wú)霸嗎？）

snare: 捕捉

其實(shí)一直很好奇，小動(dòng)物們眼中的人類(lèi)究竟是怎樣肥碩的龐然大物……

10. Google invents search engine powered by your thoughts.

谷歌發(fā)明了新的搜索引擎，它由人類(lèi)的思想來(lái)操控

×這則新聞是假的

In 2000 the internet pioneers' annual hoax was 'MentalPlex', software that read your thoughts to carry out Google searches. Maybe if you're reading this in another 15 years time, it won't be a April Fool any more?

hoax: 騙局，惡作�。ê蚿rank類(lèi)似，但更側重于“騙”的部分）

后面那句話(huà)看得我瑟瑟發(fā)抖……

我一共猜對了其中7條的真假，你呢？
