| 巧妙な策略 外国人居住地の橋の通行料は、手押し車で18キャッシュ（およそ3/4d）、荷物を担いだ苦力が4キャッシュである。手押し車を押してきた人は門にたどり着くと、車を解体してただの「荷物」にしてしまい、余分な通行料を払わなくて済むようにする。この考えは悪くはない。分別のなさに知恵がついたもので、特に評判の悪い税金から逃れるための斬新な手段としてお薦めだ。AN INGENIOUS DEVICE. The toll for a wheelbarrow going over one of the bridges in the foreign settlement being 18 cash (about 3/4d.), while a coolie carrying a burden passes for 4 cash, barrow drivers upon arriving at the gate take their barrows to pieces, and thus transforming them into simple "burdens" avoid the additional impost. The notion is not a bad one. It combines simplicity with ingenuity, and is especially to be commended as a novel means of evading an unpopular tax. |

Ten toll for a wheelbarrow going over one of the bridges in the foreign settlement being 18 cash (about id.), while a coolie carrying a burden passes for 4 cash, barrow drivers upon arriving at the gate take their barrows to pieces, and thus transforming them into simple "burdens"
avoid the additional impost. The notion is not a bad one. It combines simplicity with ingenuity, and is especially to be commended as a novel means of evading an unpopular tax.
