Now what I want to do is put up a specific example of the cycle that can be undertaken inside here in an engine, and we can just calculate from what you've already seen of thermodynamics.

现在我想做的是,举一个例子,来具体说明热机内部的循环过程，同时我们可以利用热力学定律进行计算,看看热力学参量发生了什么变化。

So even though it's true that some kind of recycling takes place, we can't conclude that everything that's now a part of me will continue to exist afterwards.

即使有一些部件会被循环利用,但我们不能断定,组成我们身体的每一部件都会死后永存

In some cells they're recycled, that is the cell is able to take up the neurotransmitter after it's released and restore it, but most often there are enzyme systems inside the pre-synaptic membrane where those neurotransmitters are synthesized.

在一些细胞中神经递质可以循环利用,这些细胞可以吸收,已经释放出的神经递质并重新储存起来,但更常见的是突触前膜中含有酶系统,在此合成神经递质

Now, I wanted to go to through this just to go through one cycle quickly because we're going to be doing these all the time, and the importance of the fact that the path doesn't matter, and you can always connect things together in a way, whatever you want.

我使用这种,利用热力学循环的推导方法的原因在于,今后我们，将经常使用类似的方法,大家要记住路径是无关紧要的，可以随意选取一条路径,来连接两个态。

So Plato's certainly right about recycling as a fundamental truth.

所以柏拉图谈到,万物循环利用肯定是对的

Even if there is an immortal soul-- Sorry. Even if there is a non-physical soul that's part of me, we don't yet have any reason to believe that it's one of the fundamental building blocks that were being recycled.

即使灵魂是不灭的,不对,即使有个非现实的灵魂是我的一部分,我们并没有任何理由去相信,灵魂是被循环利用的,基本组成部分之一

We don't have adequate reason to conclude that it's something that existed before I was put together, it's something that will be recycled and continue to exist after I fall apart, after my body decomposes, after I'm separated from my body, or what have you.

我们并没有充分的理由来断定,灵魂是在我被组装起来之前就存在了,它会被循环利用,并且在我解体后依然存在,我的身体分解了之后,在灵魂与肉体分离之后,或者其他说法
