Now, the simile concludes with the strong sense of a hideous change -and you will recognize this pattern again and again in Milton -the hideous change undergone by the fallen angels.

这个比喻用一个强烈的可怕的转折来结尾,-你们会在弥尔顿的诗里一再看到这个特点,-一个堕落的天使们遭受到的可怕的转折。

Milton wants the reader to know that she's fallen, we are all fallen, and any problem that we have in understanding the theology of heaven and hell is our problem as fallen readers.

弥尔顿希望读者认识到她在堕落，我们也在堕落，以及我们在理解天堂中遇到的任何问题,以及地狱式我们这些堕落了的读者们的心魔。
