(续上)学业对他难如铁器的学生,是因为他对密释纳不熟,密释纳在他那里没有条理;密释纳不清楚,再研读革玛拉就更难,如经上说:「铁器钝了,若不将刃磨快」(传道书 10:10)——「刃」也可解作「表面」,指密释纳的基本说法;「磨快」也可解作「败坏」。
-
学业对他难如铁器,就是难以明白,这是因为他对密释纳不熟悉,密释纳在他那里没有条理。
whose studies are hard as iron for him, i.e., difficult to understand, this is due to his lack of familiarity with the Mishna, which is not organized for him.
-
若密释纳不清楚,任何进一步研读革玛拉的事就更加困难,正如经上所说:「铁器钝了,若不将刃磨快」(传道书 10:10)。
If the Mishna is unclear, any further study of Gemara is rendered all the more difficult, as it is stated: “And does not whet [kilkal] the edge [panim]” (Ecclesiastes 10:10).
「磨快」原文 קִלְקַל,「刃」原文 פָּנִים。讲法取两词的另一义。中文不写罗马字。
-
因为「刃」一词也可解作「表面」,这表明表面,就是密释纳的基本说法,被败坏了。
As panim can also mean surface, this indicates that the surface, i.e., the basic statements of the Mishna, is corrupted.
-
正如前面所解释的,「磨快」一词也可解作「败坏」。
As stated previously, kilkal can also mean corrupted.
