April Fools' Day is fast approaching, so whether you choose to prank your significant other, your BFF, or your entire office, it's time to come up with a game plan NOW. Your trickery should follow this basic rubric: 1) funny and 2) harmless. Not harmless in a way that squeezes all the fun out of it. Yes, a screaming reaction is usually good… but only when it's followed by a screaming fit of laughter。

　　愚人節就在眼前，想要整蠱你的另一半、好朋友或者整個辦公室的同事，現在就趕緊行動起來吧。不過，你的整蠱行為應該遵循以下兩條原則：1)有趣，2)無害，玩笑造成的傷害一定不能大于制造的樂趣。的確，聽到被整蠱的人尖叫是很好，當然后面跟著笑聲才行。

　　For example, George Clooney has pulled many a questionable stunt to earn the Hollywood title of Chief Mischief-Maker, and everyone hates that guy. JK, everyone LOVES that guy! Learn everything you can from that guy — do the poor man's version of all his famous pranks — BUT just remember: he's ultra-handsome, ultra-rich, and ultra-charming, and he could get away with murder if he wanted to. The rest of us, however, are not George Clooney, so we need to make sure that no one gets hurt。

　　比如，喬治·克魯尼曾經上演過不少出格的玩笑，以至于在好萊塢圈子里被稱為“首席搞怪官”，每個人都恨死他了。唉，我是開玩笑啦，大家都很愛他！要多向喬叔學習，可以來幾個草根版的克魯尼整蠱。不過要切記：他超級帥，超級有錢，而且超級有魅力，他甚至可以逃脫謀殺罪名。我們可不是喬治·克魯尼，所以開玩笑的時候記得不要傷害到別人。

　　Folks, so go forth with these 10 April Fools' Day pranks, and make merry!

　　大家都來試試以下這十個整蠱點子吧，愚人節快樂！

1. Hogwarts acceptance letters

　　霍格沃茲錄取通知書

　　Got any friends waiting to hear back on their college or grad school applications? Any of them happen to be huge fans of Harry Potter? Well, have I got the perfect prank for you — faux acceptance letters to Hogwarts! Make them extra formal and official-looking to have your friends wondering “what the hell is going on?!?!”

　　有同學在等待大學或研究生錄取通知嗎？他們是哈利波特迷嗎？如果是，那么這個點子剛好適合他們。盡量將信的外表造得正式一些，這樣你的朋友就會想到底發生了什么事。

　2. Horrifying pickled head

　　可怕的腌制腦袋

　　This one is especially great if you still live at home. Picture this: your dear, sweet mom opens the fridge to reveal her beloved daughter's decapitated head in a pickle jar. That mental image will spark joy and laughter for years to come — but only after you manage to calm her down。

　　如果你還住在家里，這個點子就特別棒。想象一下，你親愛的媽媽打開冰箱的時候卻看到她深愛的女兒的頭被剁下來放到罐子里腌制會是什么表情。如果你能成功地安撫你老媽，這個惡作劇將成為你們好幾年的談資。

　3. Eating pudding out of a mayo jar

　　將蛋黃醬罐子裝滿布丁

　　This is a weird one, but I love it. Clean out a jar of mayo and fill it with vanilla pudding. Then the next day at work, casually pull it out and start eating straight from container. The idea of it is so disgusting that by the time 5 o'clock rolls around, Betsy the office busybody will have convinced all your coworkers to join her in staging an intervention. April Fool's mission: accomplished。

　　將蛋黃醬罐子洗干凈，在里面裝滿香草布丁。第二天工作的時候把它拿出來直接開吃。看到你這樣吃，同事會覺得惡心，有碎嘴的人還會發動所有同事過來阻止你。你的愚人節任務就可輕易完成。
