每年3月11日便是英国的红鼻子日,这天是被认为一向缺乏幽默感的英国人忽发童心的日子,众多“乔装打扮”的人们把头发染红、戴上滑稽的红鼻子,全然没有了平日的严肃。而众多的喜剧明星更是活跃在各种募捐现场,顶着红鼻头他们表演着各种滑稽喜剧,引得观众开怀大笑。不明就里的外国人还以为红鼻子日是英国人的“狂欢节”。其实,这是英国独特的募捐日,旨在通过喜剧表演帮助英国和非洲的贫困者与社会弱势群体。 March 11 each year is Britain’s Red Nose Day, a day when Britain’s children, who are thought to be lacking in their sense of humor, suddenly lose their innocence. Many “disguised” people dye their hair red and wear funny red Nose, completely without the usual serious. And many comedy stars are active in a variety of fund-raising scene, under the red nose they perform a variety of comedy, attracted the audience laugh. Unknown foreigners also think that the Red Nose Day is British “Carnival.” In fact, this is a unique British donation day designed to help the poor and disadvantaged groups in Britain and Africa through comedy shows.
