众贤何以说:纵在天还明的时候,也不可拿添热的东西裹安息日的热水呢?
Why did the Sages say that one may not insulate hot water for Shabbat in something that adds heat, even while it is still day?

那是立一条禁令,恐怕人竟拿带着火星的热灰去盖它。
It is a decree lest one come to cover it in hot ashes that contain a glowing ember.

人未必分得清「用热灰添热」与「别样添热」之别。
People may not differentiate between addition of heat by means of hot ashes and other additions of heat.

阿巴耶 对他说:由他拿热灰裹罢,有什么妨碍呢?
Abaye said to him: Let him insulate it with hot ashes, what is the problem?

拉瓦 答他说:那是立一条禁令,恐怕他到安息日去拨那炭、要它烧起来,就犯了托拉之禁。
Rava answered him: It is a decree lest one come to stoke the coals in order to make them burn on Shabbat and thereby violate a Torah prohibition.
