5.Choose the right time and place. Pranks are fun to play, but realise when the time is inappropriate. If your victim is at a fancy party or trying to make a good first impression on someone, it's not the time. You also don't want to prank him/her when he/she's clearly not in the mood to play games. If you do something like that, chances are the person won't take it as a joke no matter what you say.

选择合适的时间和地点，恶作剧是很有趣，但要知道到时间是否合适。如果被捉弄的人在一个聚会或想要给众人留下好印象的时候便不合适。如果对方显然没有心情跟你玩，你也不想再对他/她做恶作剧。如果你在这种情况下做恶作剧，不管你怎么说，别人很有可能不会把它当作一个笑话。

6.Understand when enough is enough. Sure it's funny when you finally do see that priceless look on the person's face, but keep the joking in moderation. If everybody's laughing at him/her all day long over it, that's taking it too far. You're laughing with the person, not at them.

适可而止。当然，当你最终看到别人窘迫的表情会很有趣，但是要适度开玩笑。如果一整天每个人都嘲笑他/她,那就太过分了。毕竟，你应该是与众人一起欢笑，而不是在嘲笑别人。
