But that doesn't mean

但是这并不意味着
that every part of my body existed before I was born,

组成我身体的所有部件都是先于我的存在
and that every part of

并不是每一个部件
my body will continue to exist after I die.

都会在我死后依然存在
Take my heart. My heart is a part of my body.

打个比方我的心脏是我身体的一部分
Yet, for all that, it didn't exist before my body began to exist.

然而它并不是先于我的存在
It came into existence as part of,

它的出现
along with, the creation of my body,

是伴随着我身体的出现而产生的
and it won't continue to exist,

在我死后它就不存在了
at least not very long, after the destruction of my body.

至少在我身体死亡之后不会存活很长时间
There'll be a brief period in which,

在我死亡后很短的时间内
as a cadaver I suppose, my heart will continue to exist.

我的心脏将会继续存在
