Likewise, he criticized Pythagoras' doctrine of the transmigration of souls, making fun of the idea that a human soul could inhabit another animal.

同样，他对毕达哥拉斯学派关于灵魂转世的教条持批评的态度，并将这种教条扩展并调侃道：一个人的灵魂能够寄居在另一种动物的身体中。

So the original meaning of transmigration or metempsychosis was the revolution of the soul from body to body whether animal, human, angelic or of the gods.

因此，轮回或转世的原意是指灵魂从躯体到躯体的循环，不管是动物、人类、天使还是神。
