She's alluding here, I think, to one of the most famous passages in Paradise Lost in which Milton is asserting nothing other than his poetic power.

我认为，她这里是在暗指，《失乐园》最著名的篇章之一,在这篇章中弥尔顿仅仅是在展示他诗句的力量。

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。

It goes without saying that these are questions that it's impossible for us to try to answer certainly now, but Milton lets us know later in Paradise Lost that Satan was wrong to embark on his dangerous deconstruction of divine power.

毫无疑问，这些问题,我们现在无法给出确切回答，但弥尔顿后来在《失乐园》中告诉我们，撒旦,想要毁灭神权力量的危险行动是错误的。
