  But of course, if we do go back to the existence requirement,
  但是 如果我们接受存在前提

  When you're dead, you don't exist.

• 
  
  don't we?

  If I accept the existence requirement,
  如果我接受存在前提

  we've got an argument that says death isn't bad for me,
  我们的结论会是 死亡对我不是坏事

  which is really rather surprising.

  I can keep the claim that death is bad for me
