2202、“撒拉心里暗笑”表示理性真理对这事将要发生所拥有的情感。这从“笑”或“笑声”的含义清楚可知，“笑”或“笑声”是指对真理的情感，如前所述（2072节）。以下是对这些话所涉及的观念的解释。
Potts(1905-1910) 2202
2202. Sarah laughed within herself. That this signifies the affection of that rational truth in regard to its being so done, is evident from the signification of "laughing" or of "laughter," as being the affection of truth (spoken of before, n. 2072). What these things involve now follows.
Elliott(1983-1999) 2202
2202. That 'Sarah laughed within herself' means the affection possessed by that rational truth that such was to take place is clear from the meaning of 'laughing' or laughter as the affection for truth, dealt with already in 2072. What these words embody within themselves follows next.
Latin(1748-1756) 2202
2202. `Risit Sarah intra se': quod significet affectionem veri istius rationalis quod ita fieret, constat a significatione `ridere seu risus' quod sit affectio veri, de qua prius n. 2072 quid haec involvunt, nunc sequitur.
