The gravitational interaction of (classical and quantum) spinning bodies is currently the focus of many works using a variety of approaches. This note is a comment on a short paper by Jean-Marie Souriau, now reprinted in the GRG Golden Oldies collection. Souriau’s short 1970 note was a pioneering contribution to a symplectic description of the dynamics of spinning particles in general relativity which remained somewhat unnoticed. We explain the specificity of Souriau’s approach and emphasize its potential interest within the current flurry of activity on the gravitational interaction of spinning particles.

（经典和量子）旋转体的引力相互作用是目前许多使用各种方法的工作的重点。本文是对 Jean-Marie Sourieau 的一篇短论文的评论，该论文现已重印在 GRG Golden Oldies 收藏中。Souriau 在 1970 年的简短笔记是对广义相对论中旋转粒子动力学的对称描述的开创性贡献，但仍然没有引起注意。我们解释了 Souriau 方法的特殊性，并强调了它在当前对旋转粒子引力相互作用的一系列活动中的潜在兴趣。
