娱乐性解釋/意思：
n. Learning—particularly that sort which is not derived from a regular course of instruction but comes of the reading of occult books or by nature. This latter is commonly designated as folk-lore and embraces popularly myths and superstitions. In Baring-Gould's Curious Myths of the Middle Ages the reader will find many of these traced backward through various people on converging lines toward a common origin in remote antiquity. Among these are the fables of 'Teddy the Giant Killer The Sleeping John Sharp Williams Little Red Riding Hood and the Sugar Trust Beauty and the Brisbane The Seven Aldermen of Ephesus Rip Van Fairbanks and so forth. The fable which Goethe so affectingly relates under the title of The Erl-King ' was known two thousand years ago in Greece as 'The Demos and the Infant Industry. ' One of the most general and ancient of these myths is that Arabian tale of 'Ali Baba and the Forty Rockefellers. '
