April Fools’ Special: History’s Hoaxes(骗局)
Happy April Fools’ Day. To mark the occasion, National Geographic News has compiled a list of some of the more memorable hoaxes in recent history. They are the lies, darned(可恨的) lies, and whoppers(弥天大谎) that have been perpetrated on the gullible(易受骗的) and unsuspecting to fulfill that age-old desire held by some to put joke on others.
Internet Hoaxes The Internet has given birth to a proliferation(增殖) of hoaxes. E-mail inboxes are bombarded on an almost daily basis with messages warning of terrible computer viruses that cause users to delete benign(良性) chunks of data from their hard drives, or of credit card seams that entice the naive to give all their personal information, including passwords and bank account details, to identity thieves. Other e-mails give rise to wry(歪曲的) chuckles, which is where this list begins.
