2743、我曾看见一只大狗，像冥府守门狗，便问它表示什么，被告知，这狗表示保护，以防止拥有婚姻之爱的人在天堂的快乐和地狱的快乐之间来回穿梭。因为那些拥有真正婚姻之爱的人享受天堂的快乐，而那些过着通奸生活的人享受地狱的快乐，但他们却觉得这快乐如天堂一般。因此，这狗代表阻断这两种对立的快乐之间的通道，或说代表保护，以防止这两种对立的快乐相通。
Potts(1905-1910) 2743
2743. A great dog like Cerberus was seen by me, and I asked what it signified, and was told that by such a dog is signified a guard lest anyone should pass in conjugial love from heavenly delight to infernal delight, or the reverse; for they who are in genuine conjugial love are in heavenly delight; but they who are in adulteries are also in a delight which appears to them as heavenly, but is infernal. By the dog is thus represented that those opposite delights must not communicate.

2743. I once saw a large dog like Cerberusa and asked what was meant by him. I was told that such a dog means the guard that is kept to prevent anyone filled with conjugial love from passing from delight that is of heaven to delight that is of hell, or vice versa. For those who are filled with genuine conjugial love experience delight that is of heaven, whereas those who are steeped in adulterous affairs experience delight also, which to them seems to be of heaven but is in fact of hell. The dog accordingly represents the guard that is kept to prevent those contrary delights from coming into communication with each other.
Latin(1748-1756) 2743
2743. Visus mihi magnus canis instar Cerberi, et quaesivi quid significaret, dictum quod per talem canem significetur custodia ne in amore conjugiali transeatur a jucundo caelesti ad jucundum infernale, et vicissim; qui enim in amore genuino conjugiali [sunt], in jucundo caelesti sunt, qui autem in adulteriis, etiam in jucundo sunt quod apparet iis ut caeleste sed est infernale; per canem sic repraesentatur, ne jucunda illa opposita communicent.
