The maltster, indeed, instead of a tax of six shillings, would be obliged to advance one of eighteen shilling upon every quarter of malt.

确，麦芽制造不每四分之一麦芽征收 6 先令税， 迫预付 18 先令之一。

It could not be more inconvenient for the maltster to advance a lighter tax, than it is at present for the brewer to advance a heavier one.

麦芽制造预付轻税款比现在啤酒预付税款更不方便。

The maltster does not always keep in his granaries a stock of malt, which it will require a longer time to dispose of than the stock of beer and ale which the brewer frequently keeps in his cellars.

麦芽制造并不总在他粮仓里储存麦芽，与酿酒经常在他地窖里储存啤酒和麦芽酒相比，处理麦芽需要更长时间。

But whatever inconveniency might arise to the maltster from being obliged to advance a heavier tax, it could easily be remedied, by granting him a few months longer credit than is at present commonly given to the brewer.

但，无论麦芽制造因迫预付更税带来不便，都可以很容易地得到补救，方法给予他比目前通常给予酿酒信贷长几个月。
