——须把它整个浸在 哈罗塞特 里,因莴苣里有苦味与毒。因为你若心里想:不必把莴苣整个浸在 哈罗塞特 里,那又何必叫他吃苦菜以先洗手呢?他的手并没有触着那汁水,就没有使它染了不洁。革玛拉驳这一层说:其实我可以对你说:照 哈拉哈 说,不必把莴苣浸在 哈罗塞特 里,那毒自会消。那毒是被 哈罗塞特 的气味消去的。革玛拉问:既如此,蘸以先又何必洗手呢?革玛拉答:恐怕他到底把莴苣浸了下去,所以非洗手不可,免得把不洁传了过去。

one must submerge it in the ḥaroset, due to the bitterness and poison in the lettuce.

因为你若心里想:不必把莴苣整个浸在 哈罗塞特 里,那又何必叫他吃苦菜以先洗手呢?
For if it could enter your mind that one need not thoroughly submerge the lettuce in ḥaroset, why do I need him to wash hands before eating bitter herbs?
-
他的手并没有触着那汁水,就没有使它染了不洁。
He did not touch the liquid with his hands, and therefore he did not render it ritually impure.

革玛拉驳这一层说:其实我可以对你说:照 哈拉哈 说,不必把莴苣浸在 哈罗塞特 里,那毒自会消。
The Gemara rejects this contention: Actually, I will say to you: According to the halakha, one need not submerge the lettuce in ḥaroset and the poison dies.
-
那毒是被 哈罗塞特 的气味消去的。
The poison is nullified from the smell of the ḥaroset.
-
革玛拉问:既如此,蘸以先又何必洗手呢?
The Gemara asks: But in that case, why do I need the washing of hands before dipping?
-
革玛拉答:恐怕他到底把莴苣浸了下去,所以非洗手不可,免得把不洁传了过去。
The Gemara answers: Perhaps one will submerge the lettuce, and it is therefore necessary to wash one’s hands to avoid the possible transfer of ritual impurity.
