485. 五十, 死后, 每个人的生命快乐都转化为与它们相对应的事物
在前一章, 我解释了每个人的主导情感或主导爱都会延续下去, 直到永远. 现在我要解释, 这种情感或爱的快乐如何转化为相对应的事物. “转化为相对应的事物”是指转化为与属世事物相对应的属灵事物. 它们转化为属灵事物, 这一点从以下事实可以看出来: 只要人在他的尘世肉体中, 他就在自然界; 但是, 一旦离开这肉体, 他便进入灵界, 并披上灵体. 前面早已说明, 天使和死后的人拥有完美的人形, 他们所披的身体是灵体(73-77, 453-460节); 还说明属灵事物与属世事物的对应关系(天国的奥秘 87-115节).

485. 死後性情不變 轉為相應事物
在前一部分已闡述, 每個人將延續其主導的情感或主導的欲
望, 直到永遠。現在要解釋, 該情感或欲望的樂趣將如何轉化為相應的事物。所謂"相應的事物,"系指與物質事物相對應的心靈事物。人在肉身時活在人間, 一旦離開肉身, 他就進入靈界, 穿上靈體。由此事實, 可知為何物質的事物將要轉化為心靈的事物。(關於天人擁有完美的人形, 身體是靈體, 他們原本是人, 可參看73-77, 453-460;關於心靈事物與物質事物之間的對應, 可參87-115節。)
485. After Death, the Pleasures of Everyone's Life Are Turned into Things That Correspond
I explained in the last chapter that our dominant affection or predominant love stays with us forever. Now, though, I need to explain that the pleasures of that affection or love change into things that correspond. "Changing into things that correspond" means changing into spiritual things that answer to the natural ones. We may gather that they change into spiritual things from the fact that as long as we are in our earthly bodies we are in the natural world; but once we leave that body behind, we arrive in the spiritual world and put on a spiritual body. (On angels having perfect human forms and being people after death, and on the bodies they wear being spiritual, see above, 73-77, 453-460; and for a description of the correspondence of spiritual things with natural ones, see 87-115)

485. THE DELIGHTS OF EVERYONE'S LIFE ARE CHANGED AFTER DEATH INTO THINGS THAT CORRESPOND TO THEM
It has been shown in the preceding section that the ruling affection or dominant love with everyone continues to eternity. It is now to be shown how the delights of that affection or love are changed into things that correspond. By being changed into corresponding things is meant into things spiritual that correspond to things natural. That they are changed into things spiritual can be confirmed from this, that so long as man is in his earthly body he is in the natural world, but when he leaves that body he comes into the spiritual world and puts on a spiritual body. That angels and men after death are in a complete human form, and that the bodies with which they are clothed are spiritual bodies see above, (73-77, 453-460); also what the correspondence is of spiritual things with natural (87-115).

485. THE DELIGHTS OF EVERY ONE'S LIFE ARE CHANGED AFTER DEATH INTO THINGS THAT CORRESPOND.
It has been shown in the preceding chapter that the ruling affection or dominant love in everyone continues to eternity. It shall now be explained how the delights of that affection or love are changed into things that correspond. Being changed into corresponding things means into things spiritual that correspond to the natural. That they are changed into things spiritual can be seen from this, that so long as man is in his earthly body he is in the natural world, but when he leaves that body he enters the spiritual world and is clothed with a spiritual body. It has already been shown that angels, and men after death, are in a complete human form, and that the bodies with which they are clothed are spiritual bodies (73-77 and (Heaven and Hell 453-460) 453-460); also what the correspondence is of spiritual things with natural (87-115).

485. [L.] QUOD JUCUNDA VITAE CUJUSVIS POST MORTEM VERTANTUR IN CORRESPONDENTIA.
Quod affectio regnans seu amor dominans maneat in aeternum apud unumquemvis, in praecedente articulo ostensum est; quod autem jucunda affectionis seu amoris illius vertantur in correspondentia, nunc ostendendum est. Per verti in correspondentia, intelligitur in spiritualia quae correspondent naturalibus. Quod vertantur in spiritualia, constare potest ex eo, quod homo, quamdiu in corpore suo terrestri est, in mundo naturali sit; at postquam id corpus relinquit, in mundum spiritualem veniat, ac corpus spirituale induat. (Quod angeli sint in perfecta forma humana, et quoque homines post mortem; et quod corpora eorum, quibus induti, sint spiritualia, videatur supra, 73-77, et 453-460; et quid correspondentia spiritualium cum naturalibus, 87-115).
