……犹如船上索具中打了结的绳索要穿过孔眼一般。
as it is for a knotted rope [tzippori] to pass through an eye [veshet] in a ship’s rigging.
注:「打结的绳索」原文 צִיפּוֹרֵי,「孔眼」原文 וֶושֶׁט(本义食道、咽喉),此处取船具之义;一说 צִיפּוֹרֵי 指羊毛结团、刺球之类。

拉比约哈难 说:其难犹如升帆索要穿过孔眼一般。
Rabbi Yoḥanan said: It is as difficult as it is for a halyard [pitirei] to pass through an eye [veshet].
注:「升帆索」原文 פִּטּוּרֵי,或解为粗缆。
