她记得童年时的故事,关于花园里的亚当和夏娃,以及会说话的蛇。甚至在她还是个小女孩的时候,她就曾说过——让她的家人感到惊愕——夏娃是个什么样的白痴,竟然相信蛇?但现在她明白了,因为她听到了蛇的声音,也看到了一个聪明而强大的人被它的咒语所迷惑。吃了它的果实,你就可以实现心中的愿望。这不是邪恶,而是高尚和善良。你会因此而受到称赞。而且它很美味。
(She remembered the story from her childhood, about Adam and Eve in the garden, and the talking snake. Even as a little girl she had said - to the consternation of her family - What kind of idiot was Eve, to believe a snake? But now she understood, for she had heard the voice of the snake and had watched as a wise and powerful man had fallen under its spell.Eat the fruit and you can have the desires of your heart. It's not evil, it's noble and good. You'll be praised for it.And it's delicious.)
