1: In his survey of the subject, Stephen Cave, a British philosopher, argues that man’s various tales of immortality can be boiled down into four basic “narratives”. 2: The first is the simplest, in theory at least: do what the medieval alchemists never managed and discover an elixir to simply avoid dying. 3: The second concerns resurrection, or coming back to life after dying, a belief found in all three of the Abrahamic religions. 4: The idea of an immaterial soul that can persist through death dates back, in a formal form, at least to Plato, and forms Mr Cave’s third narrative. [...]115: His fourth narrative deals with immortality through achievement, by becoming so famous that one’s name lives on through the ages.

1:英国哲学家史蒂芬?凯夫在他对这一问题的调查中指出，关于永生的各种传说都可以归为四类“说法”。2:第一种在理论上至少是最简单的：完成中世纪炼金术士的遗愿，即发明一种长生不老药。3:第二种是复活，即死而复生，这种信仰普遍存在于三个亚拉伯罕宗教（基督教、犹太教和伊斯兰教）中。4:第三种是人们认为无形的灵魂能够穿越死亡，这种理念的正式形态，至少可以追溯回柏拉图时代。[...]115:第四种是通过取得成就获得永生，即让自己名垂千古。

IMMORTALITY is an age-old obsession. Plenty of literature deals with the subject, from the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamish to the poems of Homer and the writings of the Old Testament. The quest to live for ever has motivated medieval alchemists, modern techno-Utopians and mystics through the centuries.

永生是人们亘古不变的追求。不论是苏美尔人的《《吉尔迦美什史诗》，还是荷马的诗歌，亦或是《旧约》，大量的文学作品都以此为主题。历经了数个世纪，人们都追求着永生，这种观点激励着中世纪炼金术士，现代的技术乌托邦主义者，神秘主义者。
