革玛拉问:积极诫命压过禁令,是由「羊毛与细麻」一语空出而推得的,这只合 拉比以实玛利 学派「妥拉所说的衣服都是羊毛或细麻」之说;不取此说的拉比们又从哪里推出这条原则?
-
革玛拉评道:照 拉比以实玛利 学派所教——妥拉所说的一切衣服都是羊毛或细麻做的——这样推论是妥当的。
§ The Gemara comments: This works out well with regard to that which the school of Rabbi Yishmael taught, that all garments mentioned in the Torah are composed of linen or wool.

可是照拉比们的意见——他们不接受这一说——积极诫命压过禁令这条原则,他们从哪里推出来?
However, according to the opinion of the Rabbis, who do not accept this opinion, from where do they derive the principle that a positive mitzva overrides a prohibition?
-
如前所说,繸子这条积极诫命压过羊毛细麻混织之禁,是由经文中一个空出的用语推出的;然而只有照 拉比以实玛利 学派那位 坦拿 的意见,这个用语才是空出来、可供释义的。
As stated previously, the conclusion that the positive mitzva to place fringes on a garment overrides the prohibition against mixing linen and wool is derived from a free expression in a biblical verse; however, the expression is free for interpretation only in the opinion of the tanna from the school of Rabbi Yishmael.
注:「空出的用语」指经文中看似多余、因而空出来可作释义之用的字眼(原文 מוּפְנֶה);详见叶四背。
