To this Nekhludoff answered that it would be difficult to determine whether one cultivated the land for himself or for others.

对此，聂赫留朵夫回答说，很难确定一个人是为自己耕种还是为他人耕种。

The rent and profit of barley land, besides, must always be nearly equal to those of other equally fertile and equally well cultivated land.

此外，大麦地的地租和利润，必须始终与其他同样肥沃和同样耕种的土地的地租和利润几乎相等。

Geissler waved his hand broadly around, and said: " Margrave, landowner—that's you! House and stock and cultivated land—they can't starve you out if they try" !

盖斯勒大手一挥， 说道：“侯爵， 地主——就是你！房子、牲畜和耕地——他们想饿死你也饿不死” ！

It must be a long time after the first establishment of such colonies, before it can become profitable to feed cattle upon the produce of cultivated land.

在第一次建立这样的殖民地之后，一定要经过很长时间，才能利用耕地的出产养牛。

If they occupied the same proportion of cultivated land which corn does at present, they would regulate, in the same manner, the rent of the greater part of other cultivated land.

如果它们占据的耕地比例与目前的耕地相同， 它们就会以同样的方式调节大部分其他耕地的地租。

In all great countries, the greater part of the cultivated lands are employed in producing either food for men or food for cattle. The rent and profit of these regulate the rent and profit of all other cultivated land.

在所有大国中，耕地的大部分用于生产人的食物或牛的食物。这些耕地的地租和利润调节所有其他耕地的地租和利润。

But the ordinary price of barley has never been a monopoly price; and the rent and profit of barley land have never been above their natural proportion to those of other equally fertile and equally well cultivated land.

但是大麦的普通价格从来就不是垄断价格；大麦地的地租和利润从来没有超过与其他同样肥沃和同样耕种的土地的自然比例。
