4518.“我的人丁既然稀少”表这会很容易。这从“人丁稀少”的含义清楚可知,“人丁稀少”是指少许。但当内义上的思路指向某个事物的品质,而非它的数量时,所表示的就是很容易的事。因为当如下一切所提到的,许多人“必聚集来”时,这少许人很容易被毁灭。
Potts(1905-1910) 4518
4518. And I am mortals [few] of number. That this signifies that it would be easy, is evident from the meaning of the expression "mortals few of number," as being a few; but when in accordance with the series in the internal sense quality is understood instead of quantity, what is easy is signified. For when, as we now read, "many are gathered together upon" a few, these are easily destroyed.
Elliott(1983-1999) 4518
4518. 'And I am [a few] mortals in number' means that it would be easy.... This is clear from the meaning of 'mortars in number' as a few. But when the train of thought in the internal sense refers to the quality of something instead of its quantity, that which is easy is meant. For when many are gathered together against them, as mentioned next, those who are a few are easily destroyed.
Latin(1748-1756) 4518
4518. `Et ego mortales numeri {1}': quod significet quod facile, constat ex significatione `mortalium numeri,' quod sint pauci; at cum quale loco quanti in sensu interno secundum seriem intelligitur, tunc significatur facile; nam pauci, cum contra illos `congregantur multi', ut sequitur,' facile perduntur. @1 Heb. [ ] (methe mispar) = `men of number,' i.e., men to be counted or few men: S usually translates methim by homines. Mortales is probably due to association with Heb. [ ] (muth) to die.$
