(续上)拉比约书亚 答:他们若是丑的,就会更有学问。另一解:妥拉所以比作水、酒、奶,是因这三样液体只因疏忽看管而坏,妥拉的话也只因疏忽而被忘记——水、酒、奶若看守好,就不会变坏,也不会有脏东西掉进去。

另一解:妥拉被比作水、酒与奶,是因为正如这三种液体只因分心疏忽才变坏,同样,妥拉的事也只因分心疏忽才被忘记。
Alternatively, the Torah is likened to water, wine, and milk because just as these three liquids are spoiled only by diversion of attention, so too, are Torah matters forgotten only through diversion of attention.

If water, wine and milk are guarded, they will not spoil or have dirty objects fall into them.
