赎罪日逢平日的,从午后起可以砸核桃、剥石榴子,因为那不算真工,且免人心里发慌。拉夫犹大 家里摘白菜,拉巴 家里刷葫芦;拉巴 见他们午后未到就动手,就说西边有信来,奉 拉比约哈难 之名说那是禁的。

拉比希亚·巴尔·阿巴 又奉 拉比约哈难 之名说:赎罪日若逢平日,人从午后起可以砸核桃、剥石榴子,因为那算不得真工,又是为免人心里发慌——人若不知斋戒完了有饭吃,那一日末几个时辰就格外难过(据 拉比泽拉希亚·哈莱维)。
And Rabbi Ḥiyya bar Abba said that Rabbi Yoḥanan said: If Yom Kippur occurs on a weekday, one may crack nuts and remove pomegranate seeds from the late afternoon and onward, because doing so involves no actual labor and due to anxiety, i.e., if a person does not know that there is food prepared for when the fast ends, he suffers more during the final hours of the day (Rabbi Zeraḥia HaLevi).

革玛拉 记说:拉夫犹大 家里的人素常摘白菜。
The Gemara relates: The members of Rav Yehuda’s house would trim cabbage.
-
拉巴 家里的人素常刷葫芦。
The members of Rabba’s house would scrub gourds.

有一次 拉巴 看见他们动手早了,还没到午后,就对他们说:西边、就是以色列地有信来,奉 拉比约哈难 之名说,这样行是禁的。
Once Rabba saw that they were doing this early, before the late afternoon, he said to them: A letter came from the West, i.e., from Eretz Yisrael, in the name of Rabbi Yoḥanan, saying that doing so is prohibited.
