娱乐性解釋/意思:
n. A play representing life in another world whose inhabitants have no speech but song no motions but gestures and no postures but attitudes. All acting is simulation and the word simulation is from simia an ape; but in opera the actor takes for his model Simia audibilis (or Pithecanthropos stentor)—the ape that howls.
