یسحبون (dragged) is derived from سحب. They say سحبه i.e. he dragged or drew him or it along. سحاب (clouds) are so called perhaps because they are dragged along by the winds (Lane).

«古兰经» 中一再解说, 死后的人生不是新生, 而只是今生事迹的形象和反映。在这几节经文中, 今世的精神折磨表现为后世的肉体惩罚。比如说, 套在脖子上的链条代表今世的种种欲念, 就是这些欲念构成了后世的脚镣。同样今世的牵连可以看成脚上的链条。今世的苦难同样就像熊熊火焰。人的寿限通常是七十岁, 包括童年和老年期。邪恶的不信者把这七十年的时间浪费于人世的牵连和七情六欲之中。他无意摆脱欲念的锁链, 因此在后世, 他沉溺期间七十年的欲念的锁链体现为长七十腕尺的链条, 每一腕尺代表一年, 将邪恶的不信者加以束缚。
قرآن کریم میں ہے‘ اس کے ستّر حلقے ہیں۔ مگر عربی زبان میں ستّر کا لفظ بے انتہا کے لئے بولا جاتا ہے (لسان العرب) اور وہی ترجمہ ہم نے کیا ہے۔

It has repeatedly been explained in the Qur’an that Life after death is not a new life but only an image and representation of the facts of the present life. In these verses the spiritual torture of the present world has been represented as the physical punishment in the next. The chain to be put round the neck, for instance, represents the desires of this world and it is these desires that will assume the form of fetters in the life to come. Similarly, the entanglements of this world will be seen as chains on the feet. The heart- burning of this world will, likewise, appear as the flames of burning fire. The limit of man’s age may generally be fixed at seventy, excluding the periods of childhood and decrepitude. These seventy years, the wicked disbeliever wastes away in the entanglements of the world and in satisfying his sensual passions.

Commentary:
It has repeatedly been explained in the Quran that life after death is not a new life but only an image and manifestation of the present one. In these verses the spiritual torture of the present world has been represented as a physical punishment in the next world. The chain to be put round the neck, for instance, represents the desires of this world which keep a man’s head bent upon the earth, and it is these desires that will assume the form of a chain in the life to come. Similarly, the entanglements of this world will be seen as chains on the feet. The heart-burning of this world will likewise appear as the flames of burning fire. The wicked man in fact has in this very world within himself a hell of his passions and inextinguishable desires; he feels the burning of that hell in the failures he meets within this life. When, therefore, he will see a never-ending despair before him in the new world, his desires will assume the shape of burning fire.
The "securing" of the sinful with the chain of a length of seventy cubits reveals the same secret. The limit of man’s age may generally be fixed at seventy, and a wicked person often lives up to that age in his wickedness. Sometimes, he even enjoys seventy years excluding the periods of childhood and decrepitude. These seventy years, during which he could work with honesty, wisdom and zeal he wastes away in the entanglements of the world and in satisfying his sensual passions. He does not try to free himself from the chain of desires, and, therefore, in the next world the chain of desires which he indulged in for seventy years shall be embodied in a chain of a length of seventy cubits, every cubit representing a year, with which the wicked shall be fettered.

Every action which a man does is followed by a corresponding act of God. The entanglements of disbelievers in worldly affairs will take the form of chains in the next world; cares of the world will take the form of iron- collars, and greed and carnal desires that of hell-fire and so on.

Commentary:
For a detailed explanation of the nature and significance of the punishments of Hell, see 69:30-33. Briefly, the verse alludes to the fact that every deed which a man does is followed by a corresponding act of God. The entanglements of dis-believers in worldly affairs will take the form of chains in the next world, cares of the world will take the form of iron-collars, and greed and carnal desires that of Hellfire.

一个人的每一个行为之后都会有安拉相应的行动。不信者在尘世的各种牵连纠缠都会化为后世的锁链; 尘世事物的关切将变为火狱的铁圈, 贪婪和色欲等等变为火狱。另见注释1479。
