  But it doesn't matter what you choose,
  但是无论你是否选择死亡
• 
  
  you can't avoid dying.
  你都无法逃避死亡
• 
  
  So it's not just merely the case that in fact
  所以说我们都会死去
• 
  
  we are all going to die;
  并不仅仅是一个事实
• 
  
  it's a necessary truth that we're all going to die.
  这还是一个必然的真相
• 
  
  So we might ask, what about this inevitability of death?
  我们会问 死亡的必然性又将带来什么呢
• 
  
  Does that make things worse?
  它会让事情更糟吗
• 
  
  And here I want to distinguish between the individual question
  在这里我想区分一下死亡必然性的
• 
  
  about the inevitability of death, and the universal question.
  个体问题与群体问题
• 
  
  So just start by thinking about the fact that
  先来考虑
• 
  
  it's unavoidable that you're going to die.
  你必然将要死去
• 
  
  Does the unavoidability of death make it better or worse?
  死亡的必然性使事情更好还是更坏呢
