灵魂理论者还有的选择，就是说他们都不是。
灵魂理论者说：“跟随灵魂，除非灵魂分裂。”
Soul theorists say, "Follow the soul, unless the soul is divided."
我们再度将灵魂理论放到一边。
但是灵魂理论也无法支持这个说法。
But there's nothing in the soul theory that supports that claim.
这就导致了对灵魂理论观点的论证
但若接受灵魂理论又怎么能这么说呢？
灵魂理论就是这样说的。
如果我们相信灵魂理论。
That's an advantage for the soul theory, if only we believed in souls.
相比下，个人认同感的灵魂理论并不愚蠢。
In contrast, the soul theory of personal survival is not a stupid theory.
在这一点上也许灵魂理论者必须，也接受无分支规则。
Well, maybe what the soul theorist would have to do at this point is accept the — da-ta-da — the no branching rule.
但我必须要指出，灵魂理论的裂变案例，其实还有一个缺点。
But I need to point out that there's another disadvantage that the fission case raises for the soul theory.
也许灵魂理论者还有一种-，其他理论没有的可能。
Maybe the soul theorist has an alternative available to it that — available to him that the other theories don't have.
假设灵魂理论者对上个异议的答案是,这事情根本不可能发生。
Suppose the soul theorist answers that last objection by saying,Ain't ever going to happen.
所以我说，灵魂理论至少能给我们，一个避开无分支规则的答案。
So as I say, the soul theory can at least give us an answer that avoids the no branching rule.
除了首先要识别灵魂是什么以外，还有两个观点对灵魂理论提出了争议。
Other than the general problem of identifying what souls are in the first place, two arguments have been suggested against soul theory.
所以即便灵魂理论是人格的正确理论，也不足以给我我想要的重要的东西。
So even if the soul theory is the correct theory of personality, it's not enough to give me what matters.
而又为什么不允许灵魂理论说,别责怪我们,我们只是还不知道怎么去解释
Why aren't I allowing the soul theory to say, "Don't blame us. We don't know how to explain it yet."
人格同一性的关键，根据灵魂理论来说，人格同一性的关键，在于有同一个灵魂。
The key to personal identity, according to the soul theory of personal identity the key to personal identity is having the same soul.
让我们就问一个问题，如果灵魂理论是真-，如果有灵魂的存在-，灵魂理论就能有以下优势吗？
Let's just ask the question, is it true that the soul theory — if only there were souls — is it true that the soul theory would at least have the following advantage?
如果灵魂理论者最多只能说，我不能解释，你也不能，这不是一个相信灵魂存在的理由。
And if the best the soul theorist can say is, "I can't explain it and neither can you," that's not a reason to believe this side.
就因为这个原因，至少灵魂，相信灵魂，在加上灵魂理论的人格同一性，建立起我不死的可能性。
And it's precisely for this reason that at least the soul, belief in the soul, combined with the soul theory of personal identity holds out the possibility of surviving my death.
在这一切之中-，人格理论出现麻烦，身体理论也不免问题丛生，这时灵魂理论者就要窃笑了。
Now during all of this — problems for the personality theory, problems for the body view — during all of this, the soul theorist is having a field day.
根据灵魂理论的说法，或宁可说是灵魂作用的说法，人需要相信灵魂的存在才能解释作为人的存在。
According to the soul-theory argument for soul, rather, according to the argument for souls, you needed to believe in souls in order to explain how you could have a person.
人格同一性的关键,不仅是灵魂理论家会说,而且他们是很自然地认为,人格同一性的关键,是有相同的灵魂。
The key to personal identity not the only thing a soul theorist can say but the natural thing for a soul theorist to say the key to personal identity is having the very same soul.
如果这就是形而上学地发生的事情，而且灵魂观点是个人认同感的正确理论，我会说！
If I were to discover that's what was happening metaphysically and the soul view was the true theory of personal identity, I'd say, Huh!
休斯告诉我们，弥尔顿引用了柏拉图的东西，大哥用的是柏拉图的理论，人死后，高尚的灵魂将从身体释放出来。
Hughes tells us that Milton's thinking of Plato and that the Elder Brother is referring to the Platonic theory that the noble spirit is released from the body after death.
根据一些理论，疼痛净化是为了洗脱罪孽和净化灵魂。
According to some theologies, pain purifies, atones for sin and cleanses the soul.
因此在柏拉图理论中，精神或灵魂，它也是唯一能永恒的东西。
So the spirit or the soul in Platonic theory and it was the only thing that could live forever, be infinite.
你可能会说，我会把这个问题，“灵魂是否在空间上有它的位置”，留给那些相信这个理论的人去解决。
You might say, I'll leave that problem — are souls spatially located or not — to be worked out by those who believe in it.
波义耳理论中称，为了让地狱里的温度和压力保持相同，灵魂物质和体积的比例需要保持稳定。
