这是一个古老的伊丽莎白时代的想法。傻瓜是唯一被允许取笑国王的人,因为他是个傻瓜。我可以对任何人说任何我想说的话,因为我只是个白痴而已——我并不坚持认为我比任何人都聪明。这是讽刺。
(It's an old Elizabethan idea. The fool is the only one who is allowed to make fun of the king because he is a fool. I can say whatever I want about anybody else because I'm just an idiot talking - I'm not insisting that I'm any smarter than anyone else. It's satire.)
