Probably the best book written on this, particularly on the language of the domestic slave trade, is Walter Johnson's book called Soul by Soul, a book-- I highly recommend you read it sometime in your reading lives.
也许有一本书描写这点最生动,特别是在记述国内奴隶贸易的语言上,是沃尔特·约翰逊所著的,《灵魂的灵魂》这本书,我强烈建议在你的读书生涯中加进这本书

In particular, do we have souls, and for this class when I talk about a soul, what I'm going to mean is sort of a bit of philosophical jargon.

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.

Well, there are the various parts of our physical body, but there's also our soul. Remember, as I said, in introducing the Phaedo, Plato doesn't so much argue for the existence of something separate, the soul, as presuppose it.
