“The Moon and Sixpence"中的一句话：

Dr. Weitbrecht-Rotholz belongs to that school of historians which believes that human nature is not only about as bad as it can be, but a great deal worse; and certainly the reader is safer of entertainment in their hands than in those of the writers who take a malicious pleasure in representing the great figures of romance as patterns of the domestic virtues.

safer of entertainment的意思是否是“免于被人取笑”的意思？谢谢。
