1303、“他们说”表示这事发生了，这从整个思路可推知，正如前面“他们彼此说”这句话表示这事开始了。事实上，本节以塔来描述巴别是什么样，或说是何性质。

[NCE]1303. The fact that and they said means that it happened follows logically from context. (In this it resembles the earlier statement "they said, a man to his companion," which meant that it began.) The passage is using the tower to describe what Babel [Babylon] is like.
Potts(1905-1910) 1303
1303. And they said. That this signifies that it came to pass, follows from the connection, just as the preceding words, "they said a man to his fellow," signified that it was begun; for Babel is here described, and what its quality is, by the "tower."
Elliott(1983-1999) 1303
1303. That 'they said' means that this was done follows from the train of thought, just as the previous statement that 'they said, one man to the next' meant that it was started. Indeed this verse, by the tower, describes what Babel was like.
Latin(1748-1756) 1303
1303. 'Et dixerunt': quod significet sic factum, sequitur ex serie, sicut illud quod prius 'dixerunt vir ad socium,' quod coeptum; hic enim describitur Babel qualis est, per turrim.
