花點(diǎn)時(shí)間思考別人對你所說的話，認(rèn)真分析每句話的真實(shí)性。在不知道他們說的是真是假的情況下，不要回復(fù)他們。

Step 3策略三

Avoid conversations that begin with someone saying to you, "Guess what!" or "Check this out!" On April Fool's Day, there is a high probability that these are traps to get you to fall for a prank or believe a false statement. Instead of responding, just say, "No thanks," and walk away.

愚人節(jié)這天，當(dāng)有人跟你說“猜猜這是什么？”或“看看這個(gè)”時(shí)，不要理會(huì)他們，這很有可能是整你的陷阱。你只說句“不，謝謝”，然后走開。

Resist the urge to play pranks on others. If you don't want to be fooled yourself, don't give others a reason to retaliate by pulling pranks on you. If you don't want to be fooled you'll have to stay as unnoticed as possible.

抑制你想愚弄?jiǎng)e人的沖動(dòng)。你如果不想被愚弄,也不要給別人一個(gè)報(bào)復(fù)你的理由。如果你不想被愚弄，你要盡可能的不要引起別人的注意。

Step 6 策略六

Stay home and avoid contact with others if all else fails. Don't answer the door of phone if someone calls and stay off the Internet and away from email. If you completely avoid people for the day, there's no way you can be fooled.

如果以上這些策略你都做不到的話，你就呆在家里,不要跟任何人接觸。不要開門，不要打電話，不要上網(wǎng)，不要打開電子郵件。如果你全天都不與人接觸，肯定就不會(huì)被愚弄到了。
