Had the Manichean doctrine of Good and Evil as rival deities been orthodox, it would alone have accounted for this simultaneous victory of hostile powers.

如果摩尼教将善恶视为敌对神灵的教义是正统的，那么仅凭它就可以解释敌对势力的同时胜利。

Notwithstanding this, if a fig was plucked, by not his own but another man's wickedness, some Manichean saint might eat it, digest it in his stomach, and breathe it out again in the form of angels.

尽管如此，如果一颗无花果被摘下，不是因为他自己， 而是因为另一个人的邪恶，某个摩尼教圣人可能会吃掉它，在胃里消化它， 然后以天使的形式再次呼出它。
