89、首先，什么是对应？整个尘世都与灵界对应，｛注1｝不仅在总体上，而且在每一个细节上。因此，尘世中一切源于灵界的事物，都被称为对应。必须明白的是，尘世的产生和永久的存在都是出于灵界，正如效果与其效因的关系。所有延展｛注2｝在太阳｛注3｝下并从太阳接收热和光的事物都被称为尘世；靠这个源头维持存在的一切事物都属于尘世。相比之下，灵界是天堂，天堂里的一切都属于灵界。
｛注1｝：【英79】“对应”的原文（correspondet）可译为“对应、响应、相应”（corresponds）。【中】“尘世”（natural world），也可以译为“自然界”、“物质世界”，有时“世界”（world）也指尘世；“灵界”（spiritual world），也可译为“精神世界”、“灵性世界”。参见第2节第5条注释。
｛注2｝：【英80】18世纪有哲学头脑的读者无疑将这里的“延展”（extended）一词作为笛卡尔的“物质的延展”与“心灵的思想”之间对比的参考。在笛卡尔的系统中，延展是指可测量的空间范围，而思想则没有维度，仅维持着精神的实相。
｛注3｝：【英81】史威登堡口语化的表达“在太阳下的一切”。这并不意味着他受到前哥白尼宇宙观的限制。在他出版《天堂与地狱》的同一年（1758年），他还出版了《其他行星》（Other Planets）。这是一部致力于描述太阳系其他行星和遥远星系中生命的著作。事实上，史威登堡是最早吸收后哥白尼观点进入神学体系的神学家之一。参见 Kirven 1988，361-370，尤其是 368-369；并参见下文第158节，史威登堡明确地描述当地球移动时，太阳静止不动。

89. 首先, 我需要说明何为对应. 整个自然界, 无论总体还是细节, 皆对应于灵界. 因此, 凡产生于灵界而在自然界之物就被称为对应. 必须知道的是, 自然界产生于灵界, 并从灵界持续存在, 正如结果与其有效原因的关系. 自然界是指在太阳之下所摊开并从这太阳接受热和光的一切事物; 靠这个源头持续存在的一切事物都属于自然界. 但灵界就是天堂; 众天堂中的一切事物都属于灵界.

89. 首先, 我需要解釋何為對應。不僅是在總體上, 也是在細節上, 整個物質世界與心靈世界都有一種對應關係。凡起源于心靈世界, 出現於其中的事物被稱為"某物對應"。要知道, 物質世界源起于心靈世界, 並靠心靈世界維持存在, 兩者有如結果與其直接原因的關係。
所謂物質世界, 是指從太陽接收光與熱的一切事物。凡靠太陽維持存在的事物都屬於物質世界。而心靈世界, 我們在此特指天國, 凡在天國的一切都屬於心靈世界。
89. First, I need to state what correspondence is. The whole natural world is responsive to the spiritual world - the natural world not just in general, but in detail. So whatever arises in the natural world out of the spiritual one is called "something that corresponds." It needs to be realized that the natural world arises from and is sustained in being by the spiritual world, exactly the way an effect relates to its efficient cause.
By "the natural world," I mean all that extended reality that is under our sun and that receives its light and warmth from it. All the things that are sustained in being from that source belong to that world. The spiritual world, in contrast, is heaven, and to that world belong all the things that are in the heavens.
------------
89. First, it will be stated what correspondence is. The whole natural world corresponds to the spiritual world, not only the natural world in general but also in every particular. Therefore, whatever in the natural world comes into existence from the spiritual world is said to be in correspondence with it. It must be known that the natural world comes into existence and continues in existence from the spiritual world, precisely like an effect from its effecting cause. By the natural world is meant everything in its whole extent that is under the sun, receiving heat and light from it; and all things that continue in existence therefrom belong to that world. But the spiritual world is heaven, and all things in the heavens belong to that world.
------------
89. First, what correspondence is. The whole natural world corresponds to the spiritual world, and not merely the natural world in general, but also every particular of it; and as a consequence everything in the natural world that springs from the spiritual world is called a correspondent. It must be understood that the natural world springs from and has permanent existence from the spiritual world, precisely like an effect from its effecting cause. All that is spread out under the sun and that receives heat and light from the sun is what is called the natural world; and all things that derive their subsistence therefrom belong to that world. But the spiritual world is heaven; and all things in the heavens belong to that world.

89. Primum quid correspondentia, dicetur. Totus mundus naturalis correspondet mundo spirituali; nec solum mundus naturalis in communi, sed etiam in singulis; quapropter quicquid in mundo naturali existit ex spirituali, id dicitur correspondens. Sciendum est, quod mundus naturalis existat et subsistat ex mundo spirituali, prorsus sicut effectus ex sua causa efficiente. Mundus naturalis dicitur omne id extensum, quod sub sole est, et ex illo calorem et lucem recipit; et illius mundi sunt omnia quae inde subsistunt: mundus spiritualis autem est caelum, et illius mundi sunt omnia quae in caelis.
