死亡笔记的使用方法
HOW TO USE IT

I

The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
名字被写在笔记本里的人会死掉。

This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
自己脑中必须要记得对方的长相，否则即使写上名字也不会有效果。因此，所有同名同姓的人并不会一次全部死光。

If the cause of death is written within 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
写完名字之后，在人间界时间单位40秒之内，继续写上死因的话，该人就会死于这个原因。

If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.
没有写上死因的人，将一律死于心脏麻痹。

After writing the cause of death, details of the death should be written in the next 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
写完死因之后，有6分40秒的时间，可以记述更详细的死亡过程。

II

This note shall become the property of the human world, once it touches the ground of (arrives in) the human world.
这本笔记本从它掉落人间界地面的那一刻起，它就是人间界的东西。

The owner of the note can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, i.e. a god of death.
笔记本所有者能够察觉前任持有主·死神的姿态及声音。

The human who uses this note can neither go tn Heaven nor Hell.
使用过这本笔记本的人，不会上天堂也不会下地狱。

III

If the time of death is written within 40 seconds after writing the cause of death as a heart attack, the time of death can be manipulated, and the time can go into effect within 40 seconds after writing the name.
写上死因为心脏麻痹之后，若在40秒内继续写上死亡时刻，即使是心脏麻痹亦可操纵死亡时间。该时刻在写上名字之后的40秒内同样有效。

The human who touches the DEATH NOTE can recognize the image and voice of its original owner, a god of death, even if the human is not the owner of the note.
触摸到死亡笔记本的人，即使非笔记本的所有者，也能察觉前任持有主---死神的姿态和声音。

IV

The person in possession of the DEATH NOTE is possessed by a god of death, its original owner, until they die.
拥有死亡笔记本的人到自己死亡为止，前任持有者死神都会跟在身边。

If a human uses the note, a god of death usually appears in front of him/her within 39 days after he/she uses the note.
死亡通常会在人类使用笔记本后的39日之内，现身在使用者面前。

Gods of death, the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, do not do, in principle, anything which will help or prevent the deaths in the note.
死亡笔记本的前任持有者死神，基本上不会提供协助，也不会干扰笔记本的使用。

A god of death has no obligation to completely explain how to use the note or rules which will apply to the human who owns it.
死亡笔记本的使用方法、所有者可能触犯的问题，死神没有义务全部说明。

V

A god of death can extend his life by putting human names on the note, but humans cannot.
死神在死亡笔记本上写上人类的姓名，可以藉此延长自己的寿命，但人类不行。

A person can shorten his or her own life by using the note.
一个人可藉由死亡笔记本缩短自己的寿命。

The human who becomes the owner of the DEATH NOTE can, in exchange of half of his/her remaining life, get the eyeballs of the god of death which will enable him/her to see a human's name and remaining lifetime when looking through them.
死亡笔记本的所有者，可用自己所余寿命的一半换得死神的眼球。用死神的眼球看着人的脸，就能看到那个人的姓名与剩余寿命。

A god of death cannot be killed even if stabbed in his heart with a knife or shot in the head with a gun. However, there are ways to kill a god of death, which are not generally known to the gods of death.
死神的心脏被刀刺和头部被枪击也都不会死。但杀死死神的方法是存在的，虽然死神也不知道该怎么做。

VI

The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is reasonably assumed to be carried out by that human.
写入的死亡状况限定于合乎物理学以及那个人做了也不奇怪的范围之内，否则无法实现。

The specific scope of the condition for death is not known to the gods of death, either. So, you must examine and find out.
死神也不知道死亡状况的详细有效范围到哪里，使用者必须自己验证。

VII

One page taken from the DEATH NOTE, or even a fragment of the page, contains the full effects of the note.
从死亡笔记本撕下一页或一小片纸张，也都适用于所有死亡笔记本的效果。

The instrument to write with can be anything, 《e.g. cosmetics, blood, etc》as long as it can write directly onto the note and remains as legible letters.
只要能在笔记本上写成文字，任何书写道具皆可使用。就算用化妆品和血液亦可。

Even the original owners of the DEATH NOTE, gods of death, do not know much about the note.
前任持有者死神对死亡笔记本也有很多不了解的地方。

VIII

You may also write the cause and/or details of death prior to filling in the name of the individual. Be sure to insert the name in front of the written cause of death. You have about 19 days (according to the human calendar) in order to fill in a name.
先写上死因及死亡状况，然后再将姓名填入签名的位置同样有效。这种情况下，填入姓名的有效期限为人间界单位的十九天。

Even if you do not actually possess the DEATH NOTE, the effect will be the same if you can recognize the person and his/her name to place in the blank.
死亡笔记本持有者以外的人类，假如把认识面孔的姓名写入笔记本，也具有与持有者相同的效果。

IX

The DEATH NOTE will not affect those under 780 days old.
死亡笔记本的效果无法作用于出生未满780天的人类。

The DEATH NOTE will be rendered useless if the victim's name is misspelled four times.
脑中浮现同一人物的面孔，却重复四次写错姓名的时候，死亡笔记本对该名对象即不再有效。

X

"Suicide" is a valid cause of death. Basically all humans are thought to possess the possibility to commit suicide. It is, therefore, not something "unbelievable to think of."
死因为“自杀”是有效的。几乎所有人都具有自杀的可能性，“难以想像”的情况并不包括在内。

Whether the cause of the individual's death is either a suicide or accident, if the death leads to the death of more than the intended, the person will simply die of a heart attack, this is to ensure that other lives are not influenced.
无论自杀或意外，死亡笔记本都无法直接让未被写上姓名的第三者死亡。假如记入的死因会牵连到第三者，姓名被写在笔记本上的人将死于心脏麻痹。
