Translation and Meaning

''myth is told–facts with which everyone is familiar, however marginal their knowledge of the story.''

Translation:
人人都熟悉口述的神話故事，不管他們對故事真相的認識是多麼的貧乏。

Meaning:
People exaggerate stories they hear and over time a story with little factual evidence will be taken as a real one and the contents of it taken to have actually happened.

Example of myths:
organic food myths有機食品神話
Greek myths希臘神話

''myth is told–facts with which everyone is familiar, however marginal their knowledge of the story.''

傳說是人人熟悉的傳誦事件，但人們對於這故事的認知卻多是皮毛(很少)。

(按這句字的意思和內容是指「傳說」myth這類別而不是特指某神話故事的mythology)
