Five shillings and sevenpence, however, seems to have been the most common price.

然而，五先令七便士似乎是最常见的价格。

Eighteen pence a day may be reckoned the common price of labour in London and its neighbourhood.

一天 18 便士可以算作伦敦及其附近地区的普通劳动力价格。

At Lerwick, the small capital of the Shetland islands, tenpence a-day, I have been assured, is a common price of common labour.

在设得兰群岛的小首都勒威克， 我得到保证， 每天十便士是普通劳动的普通价格。

But at half-a-crown the stone, which at this moment (February 1773) I understand to be the common price, such a hide would at present cost only ten shillings.

但在半克朗的石头上，据我所知，这是目前（1773 年 2 月）的普遍价格，这样一张生皮目前只需十先令。
