On one occasion the mayor and council of New York forbade them to sell by retail and on another prohibited the exercise of their religious worship.

有一次，纽约市长和议会禁止他们零售，另一次禁止他们进行宗教礼拜。

It is upon this account that goods sold by retail are generally as cheap, and frequently much cheaper, in the capital than in small towns and country villages.

正是由于这个原因， 首都的零售商品通常比小城镇和乡村便宜， 而且往往便宜得多。
