从伤口处挖出了黄金的肋骨，这景象,首先带给人以负面的遐想，我认为这是十分重要的,及十分美丽的，这让我想到了夏娃的诞生。

And when we remember that God will dig a rib out of Adam's wound in order to create the beautiful, the golden Eve, we realize how complicated, how complex and how ambivalent, Milton's little image is here at the beginning of the poem.

当我们想起上帝从亚当的伤口中取出一根肋骨,以创造美丽的金色的夏娃，我们意识到弥尔顿在诗的开头描绘的景象，是多么的复杂巧妙，多么的矛盾纠结。
