玻璃工和玻璃制造商如何应对窗户税？

So what you can still observe to this day in England is how older houses, where it's clear there was once a window and then it was bricked up to reduce window tax.

因此，直到今天，你仍然可以在英国看到古老的房屋，很明显，那里曾经有一扇窗户，然后用砖砌起来以减少窗户税。

Since the imposition of the window tax, however, the rents of houses have, upon the whole, risen more or less, in almost every town and village of Great Britain, with which I am acquainted.

然而，自从征收窗户税以来，在我所熟悉的英国几乎每一个城镇和村庄，房屋租金总的来说都或多或少地上涨了。

The natural tendency of the window tax, and of all other taxes upon houses, is to lower rents. The more a man pays for the tax, the less, it is evident, he can afford to pay for the rent.

窗户税和所有其他房屋税的自然趋势是降低租金。一个人缴纳的税款越多，显然他付得起房租的能力就越少。
