这次愚人节不要再被人整了！

You swore you'd never fall for another April Fool's Day prank. Now it's time to keep that promise by following these easy steps for how to avoid pranks on April Fool's Day.

你发誓再也不能在愚人节这天被整了。如果你按以下愚人节防恶搞攻略见招拆招，你就不会那么容易被整到了。

Step 1 BE PREPARED.

策略一：提前准备

The best way not to be the butt of an April Fool's Day prank is to prepare ahead of time. Circle the date in red on the calendar and get into the April Fool's Day mindset the night before. It's not a bad idea, especially if you're susceptible to April Fool's Day pranks, to write a note the night before reminding yourself it's going to be April Fool's Day and leave it on your night stand, so you'll see it first thing in the morning.

不要成为别人笑柄的最好办法是提前做好准备。在日历上把愚人节这天用红色圆圈圈起来。4月1日前一天你就要进入状态。这是个不错的主意，尤其那些对愚人节比较敏感的人来说。,愚人节前一天晚上你最好写一个便笺提醒自己,把它放在的台灯上,确保第二天早上你能第一眼看到它。

Step 2 PAY ATTENTION.

策略二：集中注意力

 On April Fool's Day, be alert to pranks all day long. That means check your seat every time you sit down. Watch where you put your feet and hands. Be suspicious of strange packages. Don't believe everything you hear, especially when it's really good or really bad news. And be especially careful when you're on the computer. Don't open emails from anyone you don't know. And be cautious even with emails from people you do know!

愚人节这天一定要高度戒备起来。每次坐下时一定要检查你的座位，注意你放手和脚的地方是否有玄机。对奇怪的包裹要引起注意。不要轻信你所听到的每件事,不管是好消息还是坏消息。当你上网的时候也要特别注意，不要打开陌生人或熟人给你的电子邮件！

Step 3 TAKE A TRIP.

策略三：出去旅游

If you can afford to get away, plan to be somewhere that doesn't "celebrate" April Fool's Day with pranks. Then you can just relax and enjoy yourself, like any other day.

如果你能出去旅游的话，建议你去那些没有庆祝愚人节活动的地方。这样，你就可以像往常一样好好放松和享受了。

Step 4 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM.

策略四：采用结伴制

Plan ahead to be with a friend you trust on April Fool's Day. You can look out for each other and enjoy the day together prank-free.

提前和你值得信任的朋友商量好，在愚人节这天，你们互相照顾，共同提防恶作剧，一起享受没有恶作剧的一天。

Step 5 HIDE.

策略五：隐藏起来

If you don't answer your phone or the doorbell, or leave your house, chances are you're not going to be the butt of pranks on April Fool's Day. But you're also not going to have much fun. So try the tips above and enjoy this April Fool's Day.

在愚人节这天，如果有人给你打电话你不要接，有人敲门你也不要开，或者你可以离开家，这样，你就不会被人整到。可是这样你会很孤独无趣地过一天。因此，除了参考上述建议避免一些恶作剧外,还是尽情享受这个愚人节给你带来的快乐吧！
