——凡托拉学者受人羞辱而不像蛇一般报仇怀恨的,就算不得托拉学者:托拉与学托拉之人的尊荣当维护,受辱时须回以厉色。革玛拉问:托拉里岂不是明明写着:「不可报仇,也不可埋怨你本国的子民」(利未记 19:18)么?革玛拉答:那一条禁的是钱财上的事,不是人身受辱的事,如 《巴拉伊塔》 里教道:什么是报仇?什么是怀恨?报仇是这样一个例:一人对邻舍说:把你的镰刀借我。那人说:不借。次日,那不肯借镰刀的人对他说:把你的斧子借我。他若对他说:我不借你,正如你先前不借我——这就是报仇。

who does not avenge himself and bear a grudge like a snake when insulted is not considered a Torah scholar at all, as it is important to uphold the honor of Torah and its students by reacting harshly to insults.

革玛拉问:托拉里岂不是明明写着:「不可报仇,也不可埋怨你本国的子民」(利未记 19:18)么?
The Gemara asks: But isn’t it written explicitly in the Torah: “You shall not take vengeance nor bear any grudge against the children of your people” (Leviticus 19:18)?

革玛拉答:那一条禁的是钱财上的事,不是人身受辱的事,如 《巴拉伊塔》 里教道:什么是报仇?什么是怀恨?
The Gemara responds: That prohibition is written with regard to monetary matters and not personal insults, as it was taught in a baraita: What is revenge and what is bearing a grudge?

报仇是这样一个例:一人对邻舍说:把你的镰刀借我。那人说:不借。
Revenge is illustrated by the following example: One said to his fellow: Lend me your sickle, and he said: No.
-
次日,那不肯借镰刀的人对他说:把你的斧子借我。
The next day he, the one who had refused to lend the sickle, said to the other person: Lend me your ax.
-
他若对他说:我不借你,正如你先前不借我——这就是报仇。
If he said to him: I will not lend to you, just as you did not lend to me, that is revenge.
