有一个说法是，关键不在于你有没有人格功能性。

If we say that to be a person is to be a P-functioning body, it seems then as though we have to conclude that when you're not P-functioning, you're dead.

如果说人是一个有人格功能性的实体，似乎就能得出以下结论,如果你没有人格功能性，你就是死亡的。

It can't just be a matter of not P-functioning.

If you will P-function again, if you have been P-functioning in the past and you will be P-functioning again in the future, P-functioning for person functioning, you will be P-functioning again in the future, then you're not dead.

只要你还可能再度拥有人格功能性，以前有过人格功能性,以后也会有人格功能性，人格功能性就是作为人的各种功能，你将来能够再次拥有人格功能性，你就没有死。
