and so even if we agreed that the soul was simple,

因此即使我们同意灵魂是单一的
even if we granted everything in Plato's argument

即使我们赞成柏拉图的论证中
up to this point and said,

关于这一点的所有内容
"the soul really is simple,"

即"灵魂确实是单一的"
it still wouldn't follow that it's immortal.

我们还是不能推出它是不朽的
We'd still have to worry about the possibility

我们仍然会担心这单一的灵魂
that the simple soul might simply pop

会不会在某一时刻
out of existence at a given point,

砰的一下就不见了
perhaps the very point when the body gets destroyed.

可能就是砸肉体死亡的时刻
So I'm inclined to think

所以我更倾向于考虑
that this most recent argument of Plato's--

柏拉图最近的这条论证
the argument from simplicity--

即源于单一性的论证
