My guess is that our sense of Milton's power, however that power is imagined, is intimately related to the way in which Milton himself represents power in the characters of Satan and of God in Paradise Lost.

我猜我们对弥尔顿力量的理解，不管我们如何想象这力量，与弥尔顿在《失乐园》中所写撒旦和上帝两角色对,力量的展方式切密切相关。

That Satan is still able to doubt the legitimacy of God's power is a testimony to the complexity, I think, of the analysis of power in Paradise Lost. No power, not even God's power, can be irresistibly and indisputably proven.

我认为，撒旦尚能怀疑上帝力量的正统性,就证明了，《失乐园》中对力量的分析的复杂性，即使是上帝的力量，也不能被不可抗拒，无可置疑的证明。
