来自《耶鲁大学开放课程：古希腊历史简介第4集第4集》

Well, what happens? They transgress.

但是他们后来的行为越界了
Eve persuaded by the serpent,persuades Adam

夏娃被蛇教唆说服亚当
to do what was forbidden by God.What is forbidden by God?

做了上帝禁止的事情上帝禁止了什么
It is to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge

食用智慧树的果实
because if human beings obtain knowledge,

如果人类得到智慧
they will be like the gods,and that is unacceptable.

将与诸神无二这当然是不能接受的
So when you do that,you have to be punished.

如果偷吃禁果就要受到惩罚
What is punishment? To be thrown out of Eden,

是什么样的惩罚就是被赶出伊甸园
to be thrown out of this isolated condition of perfection.

被剥夺了这种完美的世外桃源生活
What is perfection? You don't have to work,

完美是什么无需劳作
you can eat without doing anything about it,

不必为温饱而劳碌
you don't seem to do much of anything, which is fine.

几乎什么也不用做那样也能过得很不错
