  If we take this simple straightforward view and say

• 
  
  you're dead when you're not P-functioning anymore,
  即 没运用人体功能你就死了
• 
  
  then you were dead,
  那你当时已经死了
• 
  
  on and off and on and off, last night.
  昨晚你不停地死去活来

  Well, that clearly doesn't seem to be the right thing to say.

  So we're going to have to revise the P-functioning
  所以我们要重新定义一下人体功能

  or the end of P-functioning theory of death.
  或者由人体功能结束而定义的死亡

• 
  
  We're going to have to refine it
  我们需要完善它
• 
  
  to deal with the obvious fact
  以更好解释
