接上叶末问:日出之前那一刻其实算白日;称它为「夜」,是因为有人那时还睡着——故经文的「当你躺卧时」也够得上。

革玛拉 答:不,并不相抵。
The Gemara answers: <b>No,</b> there is no contradiction.

日出之前的那一刻其实算白日;此处称它为「夜」,是因为有人在那时候还睡着——真到需要时,那一刻也够得上经文所说的 当你躺卧时,虽然其实已是白日。
<b>Actually,</b> the time just before sunrise <b>is</b> considered <b>day and the fact that it is referred to</b> here as <b>night</b> is because <b>there are people who</b> are still <b>asleep at that time</b> and, if the need arises, it can be characterized as <i>beshokhbekha</i> [when you lie down] despite the fact that it is already day.
与上叶末的化解正好相对:那里以「有人已起身」把黎明后算作白日,这里以「有人还睡着」把日出前算作夜。两处都不按天光定界,按人的作息定界;中文译得出,那份「同一把尺两头用」的对称却要两段并读才显。
