When God gave [Adam] reason, he gave him freedom to choose, for reason is but choosing; he had been else a mere artificial Adam.

When God gave [Adam] reason, he gave him freedom to choose, for reason is but choosing; he had been else a mere artificial Adam.

当神给亚当理性时，他也给了他选择的自由，因为理性就是选择;否则，他只是一个人造的亚当。

-- John Milton 约翰·米尔顿
