Uno no puede pararse en un dominio privado y beber en el dominio público, o en el dominio público y beber en un dominio privado, a menos que lleve su cabeza y la mayor parte de su cuerpo al lugar donde bebe. [Esto, cuando bebe con vasos de los que necesita—un decreto para que no venga a traerlos (a su dominio). Pero está permitido con vasos que no necesita, incluso si no lleva su cabeza y la mayor parte de su cuerpo al dominio (del agua)]. Del mismo modo, con una tina (para el prensado del vino), [frente al diezmo (ma'aser). Si su cabeza y la mayor parte de su cuerpo están en la tina, él bebe sin diezmar, esto es una bebida "casual" (en oposición a "fija"), pero fuera de la tina, no se le permite beber sin diezmar, esto es " "beber" fijo. Uno puede recibir (agua) de un mazcheilah (una canaleta del techo) [Se llama "mazcheilah", para cualquier cosa que "se arrastra" a lo largo de una pared o en el suelo se llama "zochel". (Deuteronomio 32:24): "zochalei lejos" ("rastreadores en el polvo")] debajo de diez tefachim [Se entiende así: Uno puede pararse en el dominio público y recibir (agua) del mazcheilah en un recipiente (que es sostenido) menos de diez tefachim (desde el terreno del dominio público. ("recibir" :) específicamente, como se explica en la gemara. Pero no puede presionar su boca o un vaso contra un mazcheilah que está a menos de tres tefachim del techo, incluso si está a menos de diez tefachim (desde el suelo del dominio público). Ya que corre a lo largo de la pared y está a menos de tres tefachim desde el techo, se considera como el techo, y ("presionando , "etc.) constituiría transportar desde el techo, un dominio privado, al dominio público.]; y puede beber de una pipa en cualquier caso. [Es decir, ya sea" recibiendo "o" presionando ", para una pipa siempre se proyecta en el dominio público. (La gemara califica esto como una referencia a una tubería que no es de cuatro por cuatro tefachim, y por lo tanto, no es un dominio en sí mismo).]
Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin
וישתה ברה"ר – and these words regard with utensils that require him, for we make the decree as perhaps a person will carry it, but with utensils that don’t require him, it is permissible, even if he didn’t bring in his head and the majority of his body into the public domain.

Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin
וכן בגת – regarding tithing, that if he brought his head and the majority of his body into the wine-pressing vat, he can drink without tithing, for it is considered a ‘chance’/incidental drinking but outside the wine-pressing vat, he is not allowed to drink without tithing for that would be regular drinking.

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
A man may not stand in a private domain and drink in the public domain or stand in a public domain and drink in a private domain unless he puts his head and the greater part of his body into the domain in which he drinks. If one stands in one domain and drinks from another, he is considered to be bringing water from one domain to the other. This is the opposite of the case of urinating in the previous mishnah. However, this is permitted if his head and most of his body are in the domain in which he is drinking. Even though his legs are in the other domain, since the water won’t really go directly down to his legs this is permitted.

And similarly concerning a winepress. The same rule as above also applies to standing outside of a winepress and drinking directly from the winepress. This is prohibited unless his head and most of his body is in the area of the winepress. The Talmud explains that this is prohibited even if the winepress is only a karmelit and not a private domain.

Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin
המזחלה – like a kind of sloping building made next to a wall where water is running or on top of the ground which is called “flowing”/זוחל as it is written (Deuteronomy 32:24): “[with venomous] creepers in dust.”

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
A man may intercept water from a gutter at a level below ten handbreadths, This refers to someone standing in the public domain who wishes to collect the runoff rainwater overflowing from the gutters on a roof. He may not collect this water directly from the gutter because the gutter is in the private domain and he is in the public domain. What he should do is put his vessel ten handbreadths within the ground of the public domain and catch the water there. Once the water is within the ten handbreadths mark it is already in the public domain and he is therefore not taking water from one domain to another.

Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin
למטה מעשרה טפחים – is our reading, and this is how it should be understood: A person stands in the public domain and catches [liquid] in a vessel that is ten handbreadths lower from the water that is coming down from the gutter/spout and he catches it explicitly as it explains in the Gemara (Talmud Eruvin 99b) but he does not combine/join and attach to the mouth or the utensil to the spout which is less than three [handbreadths] nearest the roof, even though it is less than ten [handbreadths], nevertheless, for since it is lying on the length of the wall and within three [handbreadths] of the roof, it is like the roof and it is like removing from the roof which is the private domain to the public domain.

English Explanation of Mishnah Eruvin
And from a water-spout he may drink in any manner. Whereas the gutter goes all the way around the wall, the water spout goes straight from the wall emptying out in the public domain. It does not have the status of a private domain and therefore he may drink directly from it.

Bartenura on Mishnah Eruvin
ומן הצנור מ"מ – that is to say, whether it catches or whether it attaches because the spout always protrudes and goes out to the public domain, and in the Gemara (Talmud Eruvin 99b) it establishes that when the spout lacks four [handbreadths] by four [handbreadths] it doesn’t divide a domain to itself.
