(接上面 拉比梅伊尔 的话)——人可以在十四日把它作完。这话是就哪一种说的呢?是就他在十四日以先已起了头的工说的。他若不曾在十四日以先起头,十四日便不可从头作起,纵不过是作一条小带子、一个小发网也不可。革玛拉细论这一句:为节所需的,可以作完;不为节所需的,便不可作完——这合上头第三说。革玛拉不取这一解:其实两样一理,纵不为节所需的也可以作完;这一句所教的是:纵为节所需的,作完可以,从头起便不可——这正合上头第三说。

——人可以在十四日把它作完。
one completes it on the fourteenth.

这话是就哪一种光景说的呢?
When is that the case?
-
是就他在十四日以先已经起了头的工说的。
It is when he initiated the labor prior to the fourteenth.
-
他若不曾在十四日以先起头,十四日便不可从头作起,纵不过是作一条小带子、一个小发网,也不可。
However, if he did not initiate the labor prior to the fourteenth, he should not initiate it on the fourteenth, even if it is only manufacturing a small belt or even a small hairnet.

革玛拉细论这一句:为节所需的,可以作完。
The Gemara analyzes this: When it is for the purpose of the Festival, yes, one may complete this labor.
-
不为节所需的,便不可作完——这合上头第三说。
However, when it is not for the purpose of the Festival, no, one may not complete it, in accordance with the third possibility above.
-
革玛拉不取这一解:其实两样一理,纵不为节所需的,也可以作完。
The Gemara rejects this analysis: Actually, the same is true; we may also complete the task even when it is not for the purpose of the Festival.
-
这一句所教的是:纵为节所需的工,作完可以,从头起便不可——这正合上头所举的第三说。
And this comes to teach us that even when it is for the purpose of the Festival, completing a labor, yes, one may do so, but initiating a labor, no, one may not, in accordance with the third aforementioned possibility.
