不到四肘的便无责。这条教我们两层:一是两处公共区虽隔着私人区仍算一区,二是物在空中不算落定。

他若掷不到四肘,便无责,因为他既不为从一区搬到另一区担责,也不为在公共区里搬行担责。
If he throws it less than four cubits, he is exempt, as he is neither liable for carrying from domain to domain nor for carrying in the public domain.

革玛拉 问:他立这条 哈拉哈 是要教我们什么呢?
The Gemara asks: What is he teaching us with this halakha?
-
革玛拉 答:他是要教我们下面两层。
The Gemara answers: He is teaching us the following two things.
-
一层是:那两处公共区彼此相并算——这一处公共区虽被一处私人区隔开,两处仍算作一区。
First, that domains join together; even though one public domain is separated from the other by a private domain, they are treated as one domain.
-
又一层是:我们不说「物在空中便算已经落定」。
And second, that we do not say that an object in airspace is considered at rest.
-
那东西既不算落在私人区里,掷它的人便无责。
The object is not considered to have landed in a private domain, and therefore the one who threw it is exempt.
