540.木星居民的一切言语，几乎都是内在观念，或我们称之为物质化或形像化的观念。因此，构成他们言语的，不是形成话语的感官化观念或外在观念。他们也拥有这种言语，不过是以这种方式拥有的：它可以支持内在言语，在某些情况下，还可以通过它来表达诸如对他们的生活有用的那类事物。
540. With the inhabitants of Jupiter, almost all their speech is an inward mental image, or what we call a mentally materialized or imaged idea. It is not so much sensory or outer mental images, formed into words, that constitute their speech. This they have also, but in such a way that it supports the inward speech, and in certain cases, objects are expressed by it that are of use to their life.
540. Almost all the speech of the inhabitants of Jupiter is the interior idea, or that which is called with us the material idea, or that of the imagination; thus it is not the ideas of the senses or external ideas which, formed into words, constitute their speech; this speech they also have, but in such a way that it may be subservient to the interior, and in certain cases things may be expressed by means of it, such as those which pertain to the use of their life.
540. Penes Jovis incolas est paene omnis eorum loquela, idea interior, seu quae vocatur apud nos idea materialis seu imaginationis, non ita ideae sensuum, seu externae, quae formatae in voces, loquelam constituunt, quam etiam habent, sed usque ita ut subsit interiori, et in certis casibus per eam exprimantur res, ut quae ad usum eorum vitae pertinent.
