(续上)怕她怀孕断奶而害死前夫的婴孩。问:自己的孩子岂不也一样?答:对自己的孩子,丈夫肯出钱让她用蛋和奶喂养;别人的孩子他不肯出钱。她虽可向前夫的继承人索取,但 阿巴耶 说,妇人羞于上法庭,这样等于害死了自己的儿子。

……所以要顾虑她或许会怀孕,怀孕时奶水干了,缺奶就会害死她初生的孩子。
therefore, one should be concerned that perhaps she will become pregnant and her milk will dry up during pregnancy, and the lack of milk will kill her newborn child.
-
革玛拉问:若是这样,即使他的妻子怀的是他自己的孩子,也有同样的顾虑。
The Gemara asks: If so, even if his wife is pregnant with his own child, the same concern applies.
-
革玛拉解释:对他自己的孩子,她会用蛋和奶喂养他,代替母乳。
The Gemara explains: For his own child, she will feed [memasmesa] him with eggs and milk as a substitute for the mother’s milk.
注:「喂养」原文 memasmesa,指把蛋和奶调匀喂给婴孩。
-
革玛拉问:即使孩子不是他的,也还是这母亲的孩子;为了自己的孩子,她也会用蛋和奶喂养他。
The Gemara asks: Even if the child is not his, it is still the mother’s child, and for her child she will also feed him with eggs and milk.
-
革玛拉答:丈夫不会给她钱,为不是他的孩子去置办食物。
The Gemara answers: The husband will not give her money to procure food for a child that is not his.
-
革玛拉问:但她可以向前夫的继承人起诉,要他们供养这孩子。
The Gemara asks: But she could sue her first husband’s heirs to provide subsistence for the child.
-
阿巴耶 说:妇人羞于上法庭,所以她得不到足够的供养给他。
Abaye said: A woman is embarrassed to come to court, and therefore she will not obtain enough sustenance for him.
-
结果她等于害死了自己的儿子。
Consequently, she effectively kills her son as a result.
