307、此处论述的主题是在大洪水中灭亡的第六代和第七代。他们被直接“赶出伊甸园”,也就是被赶出对真理的一切理解,可以说不再是人,只剩下他们的疯狂欲望和信念。

[NCE]307. This deals with the sixth and seventh generations, which met their end in the Flood. They were thrown completely out of the Garden of Eden — that is, separated from any comprehension of truth — and became almost nonhuman; and they were left to their insane desires and delusions.
Potts(1905-1910) 307
307. It here treats of the sixth and seventh posterities, which perished by the flood, and were altogether "cast out of the garden of Eden" that is, from all understanding of truth, and became as it were not men, being left to their insane cupidities and persuasions.
Elliott(1983-1999) 307
307. The subject here is the sixth and seventh generations, which perished in the Flood. They were expelled outright from the garden of Eden, that is, from all understanding of truth. They ceased so to speak to be human beings and were abandoned to their insane desires and persuasions.
Latin(1748-1756) 307
307. Agitur hic de sexta et septima posteritate, quae periit diluvio, qui prorsus ejecti sunt ab horto Edenis, seu ab omni intelligentia veri, et facti quasi non homines, atque relicti vesanis cupiditatibus et persuasionibus.
