Picture a story everyone knows was made up — the people in it never lived, and nobody minds. Fiction names that made-up world. Take away the shared agreement that it is invented, and you get the second use: something made up that you are meant to swallow as real.

可以想成:一個大家都知道是編出來的故事——裡面的人沒有真的活過,但沒有人覺得被騙,因為說故事和聽故事的雙方都心知肚明。fiction 指的就是這個「講好的虛構世界」。把「大家都知道是編的」這個默契拿掉,剩下的就是第二個用法:同樣是編出來的,但人家要你當真。
