So it's not, as I say altogether straightforward to see how the answer " "Death is bad for me, because when I'm dead I don't exist" how that answers the problem as opposed to simply focusing our attention on the problem ? How can nonexistence be bad for me?

所以这并不是，就像我说的,那么简单可以领会到这个答案,“死亡对我来说不好，因为我死了我就不存在了“,如何回答了这个问题,和我们仅仅把关注点放在问题本身相反,不存在怎么可能对我来说有坏处呢？

Because,indeed,they don't exist They're merely possible And we might say,you've got to exist in order for something to be bad for you But once we say that it seems we're running towards the position that in that case,death can't be bad for me because of course,when I'm dead,I don't exist ? So how can anything be bad for me?

因为他们其实并不存在,他们只是一种可能,我们由此认为你必须首先存在,某事才会让你害怕,但我们一旦这么说,我们似乎会得出这个结论,这种情况下死亡不可能让我害怕,因为我死了就不存在了,所以我怎么会害怕？
