Only by touching each other\'\'s DEATH NOTE can human individuals who own the DEATH NOTE in the human world recognize the appearance or voice of each other\'\'s god of death.
即使是同样持有死亡笔记的两人，但接触不到对方的死亡笔记的话也不能看到对方的死神。
An individual with the eye power of a god of death can fell the name and life span of other humans by looking at that person\'\'s face.
By possessing the DEATH NOTE，an individual gains the ability to kill and stops being a victim.
From this point，a person with the DEATH NOTE cannot see the life span of other DEATH NOTE owners，including him/herself.
But，it is not really necessary for the individual to view the life span of him/herself nor other DEATH NOTE owners.
拥有死神眼的虽然可以看到其他人的寿命和姓名，但不能看到同是拥有死亡笔记的人的寿命（包括自己）。
The god of death must not tell humans the names or life spans of individuals he sees.
This is to avoid confusion in the human world.
死神不能告诉人类别人的姓名和寿命。
XIX
It is prerequisite for the DEATH NOTE used in the human world that a living god of death makes sure that the humans in the human world use it.
落到人间界的死亡笔记，必须死神（活著的）的意志认为可以给人类使用才能生效。
It is very difficult to consider that a god of death who has possessed a human could die，but if he should die，the DEATH NOTE that he brought into the human world will not lose its power.
虽然死神一般不会死，但如果死神死了，落在人间界的该本死亡笔记仍然有效。
XX
In order to see the names and life spans of humans by using the eye power of the god of death，the owner must look at more than half of that person\'\'s face.
When looking from top to bottom，he must look at least from the head to the nose.
If he looks at only the eyes and under，he will not be able to see the person\'\'s name and life span.
Also，even though some parts of the face，for example the eyes，nose or mouth are hidden，if he can basically see the whole face，he will be able to see the person\'\'s name and life span.
It is still not clear how much exposure is needed to tell the name and life span，and this needs to be verified.
用死神眼看别人的姓名和寿命时，必须看到人脸的左右一半以上；上下的话，必须看到头顶到鼻子部位，如果只是看到眼睛以下部位的话无效。另外，如果眼睛、鼻子、口等其中一个部位被遮掩起来的话，也可以看到。要遮掩外貌的百分之几才会看不到姓名和寿命，这就有待死亡笔记的主人自己去验证了。
If above conditions are met，names and life spans can be seen through photos and pictures，no matter how old they are.
But this is sometimes influenced by the vividness and size.
Also，names and life spans cannot be seen by face drawings，however realistic they may be.
从照片和录像上也可以看到该人的姓名和寿命，但根据大小和清晰度也有可能会看不到。不管多麼仿真的绘画也是无效的。
XXII
The individuals who lose the ownership of the DEATH NOTE will also lose their memory of the usage of the DEATH NOTE.
This does not mean that he will lose all the memory from the day he owned it to the day he loses possession，but means he will only lose the memory involving the DEATH NOTE.
丧失死亡笔记所有权的人，关於死亡笔记的记忆会随之消失。但并不是指持有死亡笔记期间的记忆全部消失，而是以跟死亡笔记没有关系的状态继续存在。
XXIII
Whenever an individual with ownership of more than two DEATH NOTES loses possession one of the DEATH NOTES, he will not be able to recognize that DEATH NOTE\'\'S god of death\'\'s appearance or voice anymore.
The god of death himself will leave, but all the memory involving that DEATH NOTE will remain as long as he maintains onership of at least one other DEATH NOTE.
如果持有两本或以上死亡笔记的人类，放弃其中一本后，会再也感知不到该死亡笔记的死神。但只要手上还有一本，有关所有死亡笔记的记忆也不会消失。

XXVII
If you write, "die of disease" with a specific disease\'\'s name and the person\'\'s time of death, there must be a sufficient amount of time for the disease to progress. If the set time is too tight, the victim will die of a heart attack after 6 minutes and 40 seconds after completing the DEATH NOTE.
如果在笔记上写上「死於疾病」而又填上疾病的名称和死亡时间，那麼必须要足够的时间去让疾病形成。若果时间过於紧迫，受害人会在写上名字及详情后的六分四十秒后死於心脏麻痹。

this is called the 23-day rule

XXVIII
If you write, "die of disease" like before with a specific disease\'\'s name. but without a specific time, if it takes more than 24 days for the human to die the 23-day rule will nto take effect and the human will die at an adequate time depending on the disease.
