People in Britain and Scotlalnd recognize April 1st as a day of fooling.A famous joke in Scotland was to send someone to a house to deliver a letter .The letter told the receiver it was a joke.The receiver would say the letter was for the person who lived down the road.After traveling many miles this way,the tired Scot would return home to find friends laughing at the joke.
请帮忙翻译一下.

解答:

学校或政府并不庆祝愚人节。不列颠或苏格兰人把4月1日看做是开玩笑的日子。在苏格兰,最著名的一个玩笑就是让人去送信。信中告诉收信人说这是一个玩笑。收信人会说这封信是送给住在大路尽头的一家人的。在延着这条路走了很多英里后,疲惫的苏格兰人回到家时会发现朋友正在为这一玩笑而大笑不止。
