That evening star star

When I talk about the Evening Star, I'm referring to Venus, whether or not I realize that Venus is the Evening Star.

当我谈到昏星时，我指的是金星，不管我是否意识到金星就是昏星。

So there couldn't be a world in which the Evening Star exists, but the Morning Star doesn't, because that would be a world in which Venus exists and Venus doesn't exist.

所以不可能有一个世界昏星存在,而晨星不存在,因为那意味着在那个世界里金星存在,而同时金星不存在

You might have thought that showed — didn't Descartes prove to us that that shows — the Evening Star and the Morning Star are two different things?

由此你可能会想，这是不是就印证了笛卡尔向我们证明的，昏星和晨星，其实是两样不一样的东西。
