娱乐性解释：
adj. Crowned with leaves of the laurel. In England the Poet Laureate is an officer of the sovereign's court acting as dancing skeleton at every royal feast and singing-mute at every royal funeral. Of all incumbents of that high office Robert Southey had the most notable knack at drugging the Samson of public joy and cutting his hair to the quick; and he had an artistic color-sense which enabled him so to blacken a public grief as to give it the aspect of a national crime.
