וממאי דרבנן היא דילמא ר' יהודה היא ותהוי נמי ר' יהודה אימר דשמעת ליה לר' יהודה יצאו מעצמן סוחטין לכתחילה מי שמעת ליה אלא מאי אית לך למימר כיון דלאו בני סחיטה נינהו אפילו לכתחילה אפילו תימא רבנן כיון דלאו בני סחיטה נינהו אפילו לכתחילה ש"מ רבנן היא ש"מ
And how do you know that this is the [ruling of] the Rabbis: perhaps it is R. Judah['s view]? — Even granted that it is R. Judah['s]: when have you heard R. Judah [to permit the juice], when it exudes of itself: have you heard him [to rule that] we may express it at the very outset?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Surely not.
