来自《耶鲁大学开放课程—哲学：死亡第1集第1集》

But there's a part of us,

我们身体中有一部分
perhaps the essential part of us,

可能是极其重要的
that is something more than the physical,

比身体还重要得多
the spiritual, immaterial part of us,

精神的非物质的部分
which as I say in this class we'll call a soul.

就像我在这说的灵魂
Most of us, most of you, probably believe in souls.

你们中的大多数人可能相信灵魂
Certainly most people in America

当然大多美国人
believe in some sort of immaterial soul.

相信非物质的灵魂存在
And given this existence of this immaterial soul,

鉴于它们的存在
it's a possibility,

有可能
indeed a fair likelihood,

也的确是有这样的可能
that we will survive our deaths.

让我们能在死亡后继续存在
