It would actually be a nightmare, something you would long to free yourself from.

其实它将是场恶梦，那将是你渴望摆脱的东西。

Maybe reading philosophy would be somethin that as long as you were doing it you couldn't die or, as perhaps some religious traditions might've taught, as long as you were engaged in prayer ? you couldn't die. Wouldn't that be nice?

也许看哲学书会是某件,只要你在做，你就不可能死的事，或者也许像某些宗教传统所说，只要你参与祷告,你就不可能死，那样岂不是很好？
