较为详细的解释:
旧约 -- 创世记(Genesis)
2:16 耶和华神吩咐他说,园中各样树上的果子,你可以随意吃。
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
2:17 只是分别善恶树上的果子,你不可吃,因为你吃的日子必定死。
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
以上是关于果子的叙述
2:25 当时夫妻二人赤身露体,并不羞耻。
And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
以上是刚刚造了夏娃出来的字句。
3:4 蛇对女人说,你们不一定死,
And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
3:5 因为神知道,你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了,你们便如神能知道善恶。
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
3:6 于是女人见那棵树的果子好作食物,也悦人的眼目,且是可喜爱的,能使人有智慧,就摘下果子来吃了。又给她丈夫,她丈夫也吃了。
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
3:7 他们二人的眼睛就明亮了,才知道自己是赤身露体,便拿无花果树的叶子,为自己编作裙子。
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
