After all, not only is it true that you can't picture from the inside what it's like to be dead, you can't picture from the inside what it's like to be in dreamless sleep.

So even if it were true that belief requires picturing, and even if were true that you can't picture being dead from the inside, it wouldn't follow that you can't believe you're going to die.

所以即便不能相信无法想象之物这一说法，是真实的,人无法从内部想象死亡的感觉，也不代表不能相信自己会死亡这事实。
