" Which presupposes belief in the transmigration of souls" .

“这以相信灵魂轮回为前提”。

Plato also believed in the transmigration of the soul.

柏拉图也相信灵魂的轮回。

Similarly, the transmigration of the soul, or the cycle of rebirth, is a fundamental belief in many Indo-European cultures.

同样，灵魂的轮回， 或重生的循环， 是许多印欧文化的基本信仰。

Has it occurred to you that transmigration is at once an explanation and a justification of the evil of the world?

“你有没有想过， 轮回既是对世界邪恶的解释和辩护？

" And does the belief in the transmigration of souls have a practical effect on the lives of those who believe it? After all, that is the test" .

“灵魂轮回的信仰对相信它的人的生活有实际影响吗？毕竟，那是考验” 。

But, dear Sophie, remember that from a Jewish point of view there was no question of the " immortality of the soul" or any form of " transmigration" ; that was a Greek – and therefore an Indo-European – thought.

但是，亲爱的索菲， 请记住，从犹太人的角度来看， 不存在“灵魂不朽” 或任何形式的“轮回” 的问题； 那是希腊人——因此也是印欧人的——思想。
