娱乐性解釋/意思：
To see a pine tree in a dream, foretells unvarying success in any undertaking. Dead pine, for a woman, represents bereavement and cares.
To dream of trees in new foliage, foretells a happy consummation of hopes and desires. Dead trees signal sorrow and loss. To climb a tree is a sign of swift elevation and preferment. To cut one down, or pull it up by the roots, denotes that you will waste your energies and wealth foolishly. To see green tress newly felled, portends unhappiness coming unexpectedly upon scenes of enjoyment, or prosperity. See Forest.
To dream of a yew tree, is a forerunner of illness and disappointment. If a young woman sits under one, she will have many fears to rend her over her fortune and the faithfulness of her lover. If she sees her lover standing by one, she may expect to hear of his illness, or misfortune. To admire one, she will estrange herself from her relatives by a mesalliance. To visit a yew tree and find it dead and stripped of its foliage, predicts a sad death in your family. Property will not console for this loss.

娱乐性解釋/意思：
n. A tall vegetable intended by nature to serve as a penal apparatus though through a miscarriage of justice most trees bear only a negligible fruit or none at all. When naturally fruited the tree is a beneficient agency of civilization and an important factor in public morals. In the stern West and the sensitive South its fruit (white and black respectively) though not eaten is agreeable to the public taste and though not exported profitable to the general welfare. That the legitimate relation of the tree to justice was no discovery of Judge Lynch (who indeed conceded it no primacy over the lamp-post and the bridge-girder) is made plain by the following passage from Morryster who antedated him by two centuries:
