几乎什么也不用做那样也能过得很不错
Everything is quiet,peaceful,

万物安静祥和
no problems,no action, that's paradise.

没有烦恼没有劳作这便是天堂
A Greek would go crazy at the thought.

It is a pre-social,a pre-political life.

这种生活脱离了社会与政治
Life in society what Adam and eve have to encounter

now They now have to form villages,cities,

建立村庄建立城市
start living among each other, and so on.

群居生活诸如此类
That is the punishment for

这就是为了获得区分善恶的知识
the sin of seeking knowledge of good and evil

企图成为神灵
and therefore of straining for divinity.

而受到的惩罚
Man, the message I think is,must know his place,

我认为圣经隐喻就是人类必须有自知之明
