  This just brings us back to the thought
  这又带回到我们的另一个思考
•

  在我死后一直存在
• 
  
  looks like it should depend on what I am. So in a minute,
  这取决于另一个问题"我是谁" 待会
• 
  
  that's the question that I'm going to turn to.
  我会谈到这个问题

• 
  
  Might I still exist after the death of my body?
  在死后依然存在"会让人觉得很厌烦

  So no harm is done,
  其实没什么的
• 
  
  once we've clarified the question
  一但我们证实了我们
•

  试图想要解决的问题
•

•

  我们与其说
