Don't Draw on Museum Paintings
You would think mostly everybody knows that you shouldn't touch things at
museums. And you especially should never, ever draw on the paintings!
大家都知道不可以碰美術館裡面的東西,更不該在藝術品上畫畫!
But somebody did that at a museum in Russia. And it wasn't a visitor to the
museum, or a thief, it was… a guard at the museum who did it! Apparently, a
guard decided to use a pen to draw on a painting that was hanging in the
museum.
在俄羅斯,有一間美術館的警衛,用原子筆在藝術品上畫畫。
This painting was painted in the 1930s, which means it is very old, and it is
worth about one-million U.S. dollars!
這幅畫價值大約一百萬美金。
That is a very, very expensive painting to draw on! According to some
newspapers, they say the guard did it because he was… bored.
這個警衛會畫畫,竟然是因為太無聊!
I know that museums aren't always that interesting, and sometimes it can even
be really boring… but that is still not a good reason to draw on any of the
paintings!
Thankfully, the experts at the museum say the pen marks are light enough that
they can probably fix the problem. Fixing the painting will cost them about
three thousand four hundred dollars though.
幸好,專家說畫的痕跡不明顯,還可以修復,大概要花3400塊美金。
Ouch, that's a very expensive pen mark to erase!
Remember, no matter how bored you are at a museum, you are not allowed to
draw on any of the artwork!
不可以唷!

every year, usually on April 5th.

If you want to give your ancestors some money, you can do it by burning joss
paper. By burning joss paper, you are sending money to the afterlife for
your ancestors.
Joss paper 就是紙錢。人們只要燒金紙,就可以把錢送給祖先。
Isn't that nice? On Tomb Sweeping Day people honor their ancestors… oh, that
reminds me, I better make sure I put out the fire from the joss paper before
leaving.
記得把火熄滅才離開喔。
Well, I'd better get back to cleaning!

A 'prank' is like a joke… but you don't 'tell' a prank… you do something!
四月一號是愚人節,通常有人在這一天對別人惡作劇。"Prank" 就是惡作劇。
Some April Fools' Day pranks try to make people believe something silly.

candy would be made out of broccoli! Lots of people said "What? Broccoli
candy? Yuck!" But then they remembered the date! It was April 1st... April
Fools' Day. Haha!

Pranks and tricks on April Fools' Day are fun… but we should never do
anything dangerous. The idea is to have fun… not get hurt.
