Is there some feature that the physicalist can't explain and so we need to appeal to something extra-physical to explain it?
是否存在物理主义者不能解释的这种特性,使得我们不得不诉诸于,某些超物理的东西来解释
Which is just to say, we need to offer a biological/physical explanation of what goes on in near-death experiences.
那也只不过是说,关于濒死体验我们需要给出,一个生物学或物理学的解释
But luckily we don't have to worry about how we're going to picture all this, now that I said that, no physical interpretation f or a wave function, there is a physical interpretation for what a wave function squared means.
如何想象这些图像,我这么说,虽然波函数,物理解释,但波函数的平方,有物理解释,当我们说到。
I can't explain this because classical physics doesn't work at atomic dimensions.
我不能解释这个,因为经典物理在不适用,就原子尺度而言。

而他解释时运用的大多是物理的法则。
From one point of view, reading Hobbes, his account of the state of nature seems to derive from his physics of motion and rest, in the opening chapters of Leviathan.
一方面,阅读霍布斯,他关于自然状态的解释似乎,来源于他关于运动和静止的物理学,这也在《利维坦》的开篇章节。
And when I review these various arguments, I come away thinking the better explanation falls with the physicalist.
所以当我考察各种论证时,我不会说最佳解释肯定是,物理主义的
And then, if we were to appeal to something nonphysical, we would do a better job of explaining.
而如果我们诉诸于非物理的方式,就能解释得更好
But not yet seeing how to explain it is not the same thing as seeing that it can't be explained on physicalist terms.
但是不知道,怎么解释并不等于,不能用物理主义解释
It would be one thing, if we could see that no conceivable physicalist explanation could possibly work.
我们能看出,所有物理主义的解释都行不通
Because it's one thing to say we don't yet know how to explain consciousness in physical terms.
因为尚不知晓,如何从物理的角度去解释意识是一码事
I'm not the kind of person who makes it his business to try to explain away those things in physicalist, naturalistic, materialistic, scientific terms.
我不是那种,喜欢用物理主义,自然主义,唯物主义的科学角度,来解释东西的人
We don't even have the picture in broad strokes as far as consciousness is concerned, of how it could be done in physical terms.
对于如何从物理角度解释意识,我们甚至连笼统的粗线条轮廓,都尚未建立起来
It's another thing to say we won't ever be able to explain consciousness in physical terms.
而永远不能,从物理的角度去解释意识是另一码事
Mind you, I don't want to deny that there are some things the physicalist has not yet done a very compelling job of explaining.
注意,我并不否认,物理主义者在某些方面,做出的某些解释不充分
We don't really have very much of a physical explanation until we begin to offer scientific accounts of each of those aspects of near-death experience.
我们并没有什么物理学的解释,除非我们能够对濒死体验的各方面,给出科学的阐释
But people have a very special ability"-- and so the argument goes-- "That mere bodies couldn't have, physicalists can't explain. That's the ability to think.
但人类有一种特殊的技能,于是论证得以延续,纯粹的肉体无法拥有,物理主义者不能解释的技能,即思考
The fundamental laws of physics, according to the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, are probabilistic.
物理学的基本法则,根据量子力学的标准解释来说,这都是概率决定的
Or the physicalist can only do a rotten job of explaining, like demon theory did?
或者,物理主义者只能,提供一个很蹩脚的解释,就像恶魔理论那样
We can explain how the computer does all of this in strictly physical terms.
我们能从纯物理的角度来解释,电脑是怎么做到这些的
It would be best if the physicalist could give us that kind of story.
物理主义者要是能够给出,这样的解释,那再好不过了
It's very hard to see how you explain that in physicalist terms.
都很难运用物理主义术语加以解释
Are there things about us that the physicalist cannot explain?
我们是否存在一些,物理主义者无法解释的问题
We can't explain it in terms of, in purely physical terms.
但单从物理的角度,我们无法对其进行解释
Or is the physicalist explanation the more likely one?
还是物理主义的解释
We'll decide you can't explain consciousness in physical terms.
我们会认定,无法从物理的角度来解释意识
How does the physicalist explain things like that?
物理主义者又如何解释这种事呢
The physical theorist doesn't have an explanation.
物理理论者也没能解释
We can explain it in physical terms."
我们可以从物理的层面来解释
When I posit the existence of atoms with certain structures and certain sort of ways of interacting and combining and building up, when I posit atoms, suddenly I can explain all sorts of things about the physical world.
当我假设原子以某种特定结构存在,以一定的方式相互作用,互相结合,集聚,通过假定原子存在,我立即就能够解释,物理世界中各种各样的现象了
