He would say, "Oh, no. We can decipher it, but the author function is just one aspect of the deciphering process."
他会说:“哦,不,我们可以解读,但是作者的功能只是解读过程的一个部分“
Does he want to say that he's just an author function, that his textual field is a kind of set of structural operations within which one can discover an author?
他是不是想说他只是个功能性的作者,而他所写的文章只是一套,用于发现作者的结构上的应用程序?
Suppose we say then that to be alive as a person is to be able to engage in P-functioning.
假设我们说作为人而活着,就是有人格功能性。
One of the things we said last time was, with that set of things, the ability to give values-- sorry, to give names to values-- the ability to make decisions, the ability to loop as a function of that, the ability get things in and out, we said that that actually gave us a language we said was Turing-complete.
上次我们和以上内容一起说过,我们可以赋值--抱歉,为数值命名--可以做出判断决定-,并且据此进行循环,可以输入输出数据,我们说拥有这些功能的语言,是图灵完备的。
We talked about modern imaging methods and this is an example of an fMRI, a functional MRI; a map of the brain that not only shows you the anatomy of the brain but shows you something about the chemistry of what's going on inside.
我们还说到现代影像技术,这里是一幅脑部功能性磁共振成像图像,一种功能性的磁共振,图中不仅可以看到脑部解剖学图像,也可以看到一些脑内的生化过程
In the normal case,I die when my body stops functioning, in terms of the body functions.
通常,我在身体停止运作时就死亡了,这说的是在生理功能停止。
If we take this simple straightforward view and say you're dead when you're not P-functioning anymore, then you were dead,on and off and on and off,last night.
如果我们就用那直接简单的观点,说你就是死了,不再有人格功能了,昨晚你就不断地死亡和复活中度过。
Death is, roughly, the end of this set of functioning.
死亡,简单地说,就是一系列功能的终结
Star two says no,no,death occurs when bodily functioning stops.
星号二说,不,死亡在生理功能停止时发生。
Roughly speaking,the answer,presumably, on the physicalist view,is going to be something like-- if I'm alive when we've got a P-functioning body, roughly speaking,I die when that stops happening, when the body breaks and it stops functioning properly.
粗略地说,从物理主义者角度看来,答案大概就是-,如果我有人格功能我就活着,粗略地说,那种人格功能停止时我就死了,当身体被破坏,机能停止时,我就死了。
As time goes on, we've developed ever more complex machines to study people and we've talked about some of these already: EKG machines, so an example of an electrical device that can be used to monitor a very elaborate function deep inside your body, the beating of your heart and the rhythm of your heart.
如今,我们已经有功能更加复杂的设备,来研究人类,比如之前说到的心电图,我们使用电子装置,对身体内部机能进行精确地监控,具体到心电图就是心跳和心率
So the proposal that death is a matter of permanent cessation of P-functioning versus temporary, that doesn't seem like it's going to do the trick.
所以说死亡只永久地,停止人格功能性的这个说法,也不是正确的。
Of such a person we might say, they're no longer capable of P-functioning.
有人也许会说,他们已经没有人格功能能力。
Well,roughly speaking, I die when the functioning stops,but which functions?
粗略地说,这些功能停止时我就死了,但是什么功能呢?
Well, that's at least an improvement, because then we say, look, while you're asleep, even though there's no P-functioning going on, the lack of P-functioning is temporary, so you're still alive.
这至少算是个改进,因为我们能说,看,你睡着了,即便没有任何人格功能性发生,人格功能性的缺少是暂时的,就说明你还活着。
So look,what I've just been talking about for the last half hour or so is the fact that we've got to get clear, in thinking about the nature of death, as to whether or not the crucial moment is the moment when the personality functioning stops or the moment when the bodily functioning stops.
过去的半个小时,我一直在说我们要搞清,死亡的本质,是人格功能还是生理功能的停止,定义了死亡。
