Summary and Reflection

這一章節(jié)主要講了某日下午女孩Sophie在自家花園信箱收到兩份信和一張給Hilde Moller Knag生日賀卡，信中主要問了兩個(gè)問題- Who are you?? Where does the world come from?? 由此引發(fā)了Sophie一系列關(guān)于自己、人類、生存、世界等的思考。

關(guān)于自己和人類 ? ? She could choose her own friends, but she certainly?hadn’t chosen herself. She had not even chosen to be a human being. ?我們不能選擇自己的出身，但可以選擇交什么樣的朋友

關(guān)于生死? ? Was there a life after death? This was another question the cat was blissfully ?unaware of. ? ? ? ??

only by conjuring up anintense feeling of one day being dead could she appreciate how terribly good it was to?be alive. 往往需要有所比較方知珍惜

關(guān)于世界? For the first time in her life she felt it wasn’t right to?live in the world without at least inquiring where it came from.

Surely everything that exists?must have had a beginning?? ? ? At some?point, something must have come from nothing. But was that possible? Wasn’t that?just as impossible as the idea that the world had always existed? ?從無到有，那世界又是從何而來，還是一直存在的呢？
