红鼻子日

红鼻子日（RND）是英国一个广为人知的活动。这一天的目的是为“喜剧救援”（Comic Relief）筹集资金。这是一个帮助非洲和英国有需要人群的慈善机构。

“喜剧救援”由理查德·柯蒂斯于1985年创立。他编写了著名电影《四个婚礼和一个葬礼》和《诺丁山》。理查德创办“喜剧救援”是为了应对埃塞俄比亚严重的饥荒。之所以叫红鼻子日，是因为在这一天，许多人会购买一个塑料红鼻子戴上！卖红鼻子所得的钱将捐给慈善机构。

红鼻子日每两年在春季举办一次。现在它已经非常普及，以至于许多人认为它是一个非正式的全国性节日。

上一次红鼻子日的口号是“做些有趣的事来筹款。”所筹集到的资金用于在教育和心理健康等领域资助项目。

在这一天，全国各地都会举办筹款活动，许多学校也会参与。人们还通过邮寄、银行、电话使用信用卡以及在线进行捐款。

在红鼻子日的晚上，BBC电视台会播放一场电视马拉松式的直播节目。这类似于一个电视马拉松，展示当天的一些活动并报告所筹集到的资金将如何使用。人们还会将当地慈善活动的视频上传到互联网上。

所以，如果你在红鼻子日来到了英国，你会知道为什么普通人会戴着红鼻子，做着傻乎乎的事情！这一切都是为了一个好的目标。
