星号一说，死亡在人格功能停止时发生。
Star one says death occurs when personality stops functioning.
假设我们说作为人而活着,就是有人格功能性。
Suppose we say then that to be alive as a person is to be able to engage in P-functioning.
虽然他们后来能够有人格功能性，但是现在却没有。
Although they will be engaged in P-functioning later on, it's not true right now that they can engage in P-functioning.
没有人格功能性是可以的，只要这个阶段是暂时的。
It's okay if you're not P-functioning, as long as your not P-functioning is temporary.
我们可以说，看，当你睡着时，确实没有人格功能性。
We might say, look, while you're asleep, it's true that you're not P-functioning.
但如果死亡指的是人格功能性的永久停止，那就说明死者并非死去。
But if death means permanent cessation of P-functioning, then it turns out the dead weren't really dead after all.
那么在他们死去的那段时间，他们只是暂时没有人格功能性。
So it turns out that during that period in which they were dead, they were only temporarily not P-functioning.
让我们假设我们在处理通常的案例，生理功能通常和人格功能同时停止。
And let's just suppose that we're dealing with the normal case, where the body functioning stops at the same time as the personality functioning stops.
我们要修改人格功能，或者人格功能的完结代表死亡这一说法。
So we're going to have to revise the P-functioning or the end of P-functioning theory of death.
我们就这样设想一下，在睡眠的某个时间点上，没有任何人格功能性。
Let's just suppose, as seems likely, that none of the P-functioning is occurring, at some point during sleep.
现在我要做的只是想象一个，人格功能在生理功能停止前停止的例子。
What I've done is imagine a case in which the personality functioning stops before the rest of the body functioning stops.
如果有这样的例子-，人格功能被破坏，无法修复，但剩下的生理功能仍在继续。
All right, so this is something that's — If the personality function's been destroyed, can't be recovered, can't be fixed, but the rest of the bodily functioning is still going on.
只是暂时失去了人格功能性，就像我们睡觉时,暂时没有人格功能性一样。
They were only temporarily not P-functioning, just like we are temporarily not P-functioning when we're asleep.
存在于大脑中的，能够支持人格功能的结构，并没有被假死状态所破坏。
The structures in the brain which would underwrite the ability to engage in P-functioning, they're not destroyed by suspended animation.
Myers和Briggs包含此项是为了帮助决定哪一项人格功能比较优势。
Myers and Briggs included this one in order to help determine which of a person's functions is superior.
这就是为什么根据人格理论的说法，随着时间流逝，人格功能停止，我也不再存在。
That's why we said on the personality theory, as we went ahead in time, once the P-functioning stops, I don't exist anymore.
所以现在看来就不是开关被卡住，大脑已经不再有能力，实行这些高级的人格功能。
So now it's not just that the on-off switch is stuck in off, the brain's no longer capable of engaging in these higher order P-functions.
这就是为什么根据人格理论的说法，随着时间流逝，人格功能停止，我也不再存在。
That 's why we said on the personality theory, as we went ahead in time, once the P-functioning stops, I don't exist anymore.
我们这里同时失去了，平常的生理功能和特殊的人格功能，失去哪个是定义死亡时刻的关键呢？
Since what we had here was simultaneously losing both the ordinary body functioning and the special personality functioning, which loss was the crucial one in terms of defining the moment of my death?
如果有三种可能，生存，死亡或者假死-，要死亡的话，你必须是被破坏的状态，无法拥有人格功能性。
If there are three possibilities — dead, alive, or suspended — to be dead, we could still say you've got to be broken, incapable of P-functioning.
如果我们就用那直接简单的观点，说你就是死了，不再有人格功能了，昨晚你就不断地死亡和复活中度过。
If we take this simple straightforward view and say you're dead when you're not P-functioning anymore, then you were dead, on and off and on and off, last night.
大概是因为，无论你大脑中的什么认知结构，使得人格功能性成为可能，这种认知结构都被破坏了，它们不再继续工作。
Well, presumably because whatever cognitive structures it takes in your brain to underwrite the ability to P-function, those cognitive structures have been broken, so they no longer work.
这至少算是个改进，因为我们能说，看，你睡着了，即便没有任何人格功能性发生，人格功能性的缺少是暂时的，就说明你还活着。
Well, that's at least an improvement, because then we say, look, while you're asleep, even though there's no P-functioning going on, the lack of P-functioning is temporary, so you're still alive.
含有朊病毒的神经细胞失去正常功能，罹患者出现记忆减退、人格改变和自发的躯体急速抽动等症状，最后患者死亡。
Nerve cells containing the prions stop working. The sufferer endures memory loss, personality changes and spontaneous, jerky bodily movements.
到了汉代，灶神被人格化，并赋予了新的功能。
To the Han Dynasty, the God of Kitchen was anthropomorphized and endowed with new functions.
