There was no use in telling her that the fifth comfit weighed a quarter of an ounce, and made every sale into a loss to her pocket.

告诉她第五颗糖重四分之一盎，她每卖一盎都会亏本，但没有用。

Tea in bright green canisters, and comfits in tumblers-Miss Matty and I felt quite proud as we looked round us on the evening before the shop was to be opened.

茶叶装在亮绿色的罐子里，糖放在玻璃杯里——在店铺开业的前一天晚上，马蒂小姐和我环顾四周，感到非。

I had expended my own small store in buying all manner of comfits and lozenges, in order to tempt the little people whom Miss Matty loved so much to come about her.

我已经花光了己的小小积蓄，买了各种各样的蜜饯和含片糖，为的是吸引那些马蒂小姐非喜欢的小家伙们来找她买东西。
