206# 由于连续秩序中的最高层对应于同时秩序中的最内层,最低层对应于最外层,这一对应关系在圣言中也有所体现:凡提到"较高"之处都象征"较内"的含义,提到"较低"之处则象征"较外"的含义。这一象征关系同样适用于"向上"与"向下"的概念,以及"高处"与"深处"的概念。
206、正因先后秩序的最高元素变成同步秩序的最内层,最低元素变成最外层,所以在圣言中,“更高”表示更内在,“更低”表示更外在。“向上”和“向下”、“高”和“深”具有相同的含义。
206. Since the highest thing in sequential arrangement is the central thing in simultaneous arrangement and the lowest is the outermost, "higher" in the Word means more internal and "lower" means more external. The same holds for "upward" and "downward" and for "high" and "low."
206. Since the highest element in sequential order becomes the inmost in concurrent order, and the lowest becomes the outmost, therefore something higher in the Word symbolizes something more interior, and something lower symbolizes something more exterior. An upward direction and a downward direction have the same symbolism, and so, too, do height and depth.
206. Since the highest of successive order becomes the inmost of simultaneous order, and the lowest becomes the outermost, so in the Word, by higher is signified inner, and by lower is signified outer. Similarly by upwards and downwards, also by high and deep.
206. As the highest of successive order becomes the innermost of simultaneous order, and the lowest becomes the outermost, so in the Word, "higher" signifies inner, and "lower" signifies outer. "Upwards" and "downwards," and "high" and "deep" have a like meaning.
206. Quoniam supremum Ordinis successivi fit intimum Ordinis simultanei, ac infimum fit extimum, ideo in Verbo per superius significatur interius, et per inferius significatur exterius; simile per sursum et deorsum, tum per altum et profundum.
