"For Whom the Bell Tolls."

VOA: special.2010.04.09

It just means he was-- he could've been hired by somebody to sit at a roadside and collect taxes and tolls and stuff.

他可能只是。。。,他受雇于某人在路边,收税款及通行费等等。

And,so,instead of having where before you had something like one- hundred tolls you had to pay on the Loire River, if you're transporting some goods, they eliminate all those tolls, they try to create uniform weights and measures, and that'll take one-hundred years before that really works.

相对于从前,诸如你想,通过卢瓦尔河运输货物,你必须支付一百元的过路费,他们取消了所有此类收费,他们尝试建立统一的度量单位,这些想法在一百年之后才得以实现
