除开其他细节，死亡只是肉体的破坏，以至于不能再实施人格功能。

Well,at first glance,you might think the answer is, look,you exist,you're alive,whatever it is--; as I said,I'm just going to be loose now, I'm going to put aside all the careful distinctions I just drew-- I'm still around as long as my body is P-functioning.

一开始，你可能会觉得答案是这样，你存在就是存活，无论;,我现在稍微放松一点规定，我要把刚才提出的区别放在一边-,只要我的身体还有人格功能我就是活着的。
