Anaxagoras was generally very interested in astronomy.

安纳萨哥拉斯对天文学很感兴趣。

Anaxagoras is also interesting because he was the first philosopher we hear of in Athens.

安纳萨哥拉斯之所以引起我们的兴趣，一方面也是因为他是我们所知第一个住在雅典的哲学家。

He did not accept that there was any spiritual force in life, unlike Empedocles and Anaxagoras.

不像恩培窦可里斯与安纳萨哥拉斯一样，他并不认为生命中有任何精神力量存在。

Anaxagoras also imagined " order" as a kind of force, creating animals and humans, flowers and trees.

安纳哥拉斯也认为“秩序”是一种力量，可以创造动物与人、花与树等。

Empedocles and Anaxagoras offered arguments  in this regard.

Empedocles 和 Anaxagoras 在这方面提供了论据。

Anaxagoras called these minuscule particles which have something of everything in them seeds.

Anaxagoras 称这些微小的粒子为种子。

Anaxagoras (500-428 BC) was another philosopher who could not agree that one particular basic substance, water, for instance, might be transformed into everything we see in the natural world.

还有一位哲学家也不认为我们在自然界中所看到的每一件事物都是由某一种基本物质——如水——变成的。他的名字叫安纳萨哥拉斯(Anaxagoras，公元前500～公元前428年)。

You may recall that Anaxagoras also lived in Athens for a while but was hounded out because he said the sun was a red-hot stone.

你可能还记得阿那克萨戈拉也曾在雅典住过一段时间， 但因为他说太阳是一块炽热的石头而被驱逐出境。

But this argument, which first Anaxagoras and later Eudoxus and certain others used, is very easily upset; for it is not difficult to collect many insuperable objections to such a view.

但是这个首先被阿那克萨哥拉和后来的欧多克索斯以及其他一些人所使用的论证很容易被推翻；因为不难收集到许多对这种观点无法克服的反对意见。
