英文句子 翻譯

The argument is that one cannot coherently state that one is a disembodied "brain in a vat" placed there by some "mad scientist"

兩個that都是從屬連接詞:
第一個that引導名詞子句作為主詞The argument的補語;
第二個that引導名詞子句作為state的受詞.

兩個one是指一個人、同一個人.
英文中表示任何人的one在句中再度提到時, 仍用one, 所有格用one's, 反身用oneself, one's own.

至於someone, somebody在句中再度提到時, 則用he/him, 所有格用his, 反身用himself, his own.
anyone/everyone/no one 與anybody/everybody/nobody亦然.

譯文乍看有點恐怖, 但參照前後文就容易理解了.

不是"一為...一為..."的意思, 請參閱拙答.

所以意思是"一為...一為..."這樣嗎?

指的是爭論雙方的意見?

Not "that one", they are

[that "one cannot ..."] and
[that "one is a ..."]
