In other words, if I'm a rich, wealthy person in Corinth, I would say, "I'll be the local tax collector, and I'll guarantee you I'll send to Rome this amount of money for a year."

换句话说，如果我是科林斯的富人，我会说，“我想当本地税吏，我保证每年向罗马缴纳多少多少钱“

So the word "tax collector" didn't necessarily mean that the person themselves were wealthy, but whoever had the tax-- - what's the thing I'm looking for?-- franchise, whoever had the tax franchise for that area would be someone from a wealthy background.

所以“税吏“一词并不是指,那人就是有钱人，不过拥有。。。,那个词怎么说来着-,拥有该地区收税权的人,应该是家境富裕的。
