The roots of the notion of determinism surely lie in a very common philosophical idea: the idea that everything can, in principle, be explained, or that everything that is, has a sufficient reason for being and being as it is, and not otherwise.
这段哲学性很强，that is是比较抽象而简洁的说法，相当于“存在”的概念，读感可以类比哈姆雷特的to be or not to be，而在理解和翻译中，最简单的方法就是把它省略：everything has a reason for being and being as it is。欢迎来这个贴子分享、讨论、提问：我准备称霸英语吧了
