娱乐性解釋/意思：
n. An officer formerly attached to a king's household whose business it was to amuse the court by ludicrous actions and utterances the absurdity being attested by his motley costume. The king himself being attired with dignity it took the world some centuries to discover that his own conduct and decrees were sufficiently ridiculous for the amusement not only of his court but of all mankind. The jester was commonly called a fool but the poets and romancers have ever delighted to represent him as a singularly wise and witty person. In the circus of to-day the melancholy ghost of the court fool effects the dejection of humbler audiences with the same jests wherewith in life he gloomed the marble hall panged the patrician sense of humor and tapped the tank of royal tears.
