娱乐性解释：
Partridges seen in your dreams, denotes that conditions will be good in your immediate future for the accumulation of property. To ensnare them, signifies that you will be fortunate in expectations. To kill them, foretells that you will be successful, but much of your wealth will be given to others. To eat them, signifies the enjoyment of deserved honors. To see them flying, denotes that a promising future is before you.
