Wer Lebensmittel zweiten Grades [Verunreinigung] isst, sollte nicht in einer Olivenpresse arbeiten [da sein Körper zweiten Grades wird und er dann Flüssigkeiten unrein macht]. Und nicht-heilige Lebensmittel, die mit der Strenge heiliger Lebensmittel zubereitet wurden, folgen immer noch den Regeln nicht-heiliger Lebensmittel [dh im Gegensatz zu heiligen Lebensmitteln können sie weder durch Verunreinigungen zweiten Grades noch durch Verunreinigungen vierten Grades wiedergegeben werden Grad Verunreinigung]. Rabbi Elazar bar Rabbi Tzadok sagt: Tatsächlich sind sie wie Terumah , indem [wenn sie einen Ursprung der Verunreinigung berühren] zwei unrein gemacht werden [diejenigen, die aus einer Verunreinigung ersten und zweiten Grades gemacht wurden] und eine ungültig gemacht wird [die eines dritten Grades ;; und es produziert kein viertes].
Bartenura on Mishnah Tahorot
האוכל אוכל שני לא יעשה בבית הבד – he should not engage in the making of [olive] oil in the olive press, for Rabbi Yehoshua above (in Mishnah 2 of our chapter) agrees with Rabbi Eliezer that a person who consumes food that is second degree [of ritual impurity] he himself becomes second degree [of ritual impurity and invalidates the heave offering and defiles liquids to be first degree [of ritual impurity] (that is the oil).

English Explanation of Mishnah Tahorot
If one eats food with second [degree uncleanness he must not work in an olive-press. A person who eats food with second degree uncleanness gets second degree uncleanness, as we learned in mishnah two. Therefore, he shouldn't work in an olive press because when he touches the olive oil, he will convey to it first degree uncleanness, because it is a liquid.

Bartenura on Mishnah Tahorot
על גב הקודש – on the purification of Holy Things.

English Explanation of Mishnah Tahorot
Common food that was prepared under conditions proper to the cleanness of consecrated food is still regarded as common food. Rabbi Elazar bar Zadok says: it is regarded as terumah to convey uncleanness at two removes and to render terumah invalid at one additional remove. The mishnah again makes reference to common food (hullin) that was prepared under the conditions of purity that are normally used for holy food. Such food is still considered to be hullin, and therefore there is no such thing as third degree impurity. Food that had contact with such food that had second degree impurity can still be eaten. Rabbi Elazar bar Zadok says that it is like terumah. First and second degree are impure, third degree is invalid but doesn't convey impurity onward. In other words, by treating this common food as if it was holy, it does attain added holiness.

הרי אלו כחולין – and they don’t come into the category of third-degree [of ritual impurity].

Bartenura on Mishnah Tahorot
הרי אלו כתרומה – and they do have a third degree [of ritual impurity]. And these Tannaim/Mishnaic teachers both of them (see the previous Mishnah) hold that unconsecrated foods that were made through the purification of Holy Things are not similar to Holy Things, for there isn’t anything that makes fourth degree [of ritual impurity] other than Holy Things from Holy Things alone. And they dispute with the Mishnah above (i.e., the previous Mishnah) that teaches that “third degree [of ritual impurity] spoils foods of Holy Things”/"השלישי שבכולן ...פוסל לאוכלי קודש".
