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

的确，麦芽制造不是每四分麦芽征收 6 先令的税， 而是被迫预付 18 先令。

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.

麦芽制造预付较轻的税款啤酒预付较重的税款更不方便。

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.

麦芽制造并不总是他的粮仓里储存麦芽，与酿酒经常他的地窖里储存的啤酒和麦芽酒相，处理麦芽需要更长的时间。

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.

但是，无论麦芽制造因被迫预付更重的税而带来的不便，都可以很容易地得到补救，方法是给予他目前通常给予酿酒的信贷长几个月。
