梁實秋說是卷3第437行:
In John Milton's Paradise Lost (Book 3, lines 431–441), the mention of Chinese wind-driven wagons ("cany waggons light" with sails) forms part of a famous epic simile comparing Satan to a soaring vulture. As the vulture pauses on the windy plains of Sericana (historic China) on its flight toward India, Milton evokes contemporary 17th-century travel accounts of Asian land-sailing carts to illustrate Satan exploring the desolate outer edges of the universe in search of his prey. [1, 2]

在約翰·彌爾頓的《失樂園》(第三卷,第431–441行)中,關於中國風力驅動車輛(即裝有風帆的輕便“藤製車輛”)的描寫,構成了一段著名史詩式明喻的一部分,將撒旦比作一隻翱翔的禿鷲。當這隻禿鷹在飛往印度的途中,於塞里卡納(Sericana,即歷史上的中國)多風的平原上稍作停留時,彌爾頓借用了17世紀關於亞洲陸地帆車的遊記記載,以此來描繪撒旦為搜尋獵物而在宇宙荒涼邊緣地帶探索的情景。
