the Garden of Eden：伊甸园

Gustav Briegleb说，如果被赋予了太多的自由，人们就会像在伊甸园中那样为所欲为。那么这句话是从何而来呢？神秘的伊甸园又是什么样子的呢？就让我们一探伊甸园的奥秘吧。

伊甸园，根据《圣经·创世纪》记载，耶和华上帝照自己的形像造了人类的袓先，男的称亚当，女的称夏娃，安置第一对男女住在伊甸园中。伊甸园在圣经的原文中含有快乐，愉快的园子的意思（或称乐园）。《圣经》记载伊甸园在东方，有四条河从伊甸流出滋润园子。这四条河分别是幼发拉底河、底格里斯河、基训河和比逊河。现存的只有前两条。

上帝的原本旨意是要他们生儿育女，遍满地面，使整个地球都成为伊甸园。但后来夏娃受蛇的哄诱，偷食了知善恶树所结的果子，也让亚当食用，上帝知道后，为了防止他们再吃“生命树”上的果子而和上帝一样永远活着，遂将二人逐出伊甸园。

今天西方人士谈及的乐园，想到的就是伊甸园。

The Garden of Eden is a location described in the Book of Genesis as being the place where the first man, Adam, and his wife, Eve, lived after they were created by God. Literally, the Bible speaks about a garden in Eden. This garden forms part of the creation and theodicy of the Abrahamic religions, often being used to explain the origin of sin and mankind's wrongdoings.

The location of the Garden of Eden remains the subject of much controversy and speculation. The creation story in Genesis relates the geographical location of both Eden and the garden to four rivers (Pishon, Gihon, Tigris, Euphrates), and three regions (Havilah, Assyria, and Kush). There are hypotheses that place Eden at the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates (northern Mesopotamia), in Iraq (Mesopotamia), Africa, and the Persian Gulf.

Traditionally the location of Eden was considered to be historical. However much of modern critical scholarship now considers it to be only a metaphor symbolizing God's love and favor. For many medieval writers, the image of the Garden of Eden also creates a location for human love and sexuality, often associated with the classic and medieval trope of the locus amoenus.
