来自《耶鲁大学开放课程—哲学：死亡第26集第26集》

to take a hard look at your beliefs and asked yourself

认真审视自己的信仰并且知道
not just what you hoped or wished

不是你希望的你渴望的
or kind of believed was true,

你相信的就是真的
but what you could actually defend.

而是真正有道理的才是真的
Still, having said that,

不过话虽如此
it would be disingenuous of me to pretend

我也不想装作
that I don't also hope that you've come around--

不希望你们认可我的观点
if you didn't start out believing what I believe--

如果你一开始不认可我的观点
that you've come around to believing what I believe.

我希望你现在认可了
As I pointed out on the first day,

就像我第一天说的
most people accept a great deal of this package

大部分人对生命和死亡的本质
of beliefs about the nature of life and death,

都有一整套这样的信念
