呵呵，这是原文，这样看就明白一点了
我知道是原文，前面的理解是什么意思，就是后面的不明白。pass up 什么意思，one pound bricks又是什么意思呢。
he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for his butter他发现顾客不会去选择会放在tub里面融化的很快的butter（他对手生产的，而会付一个比较好的价钱去买他的butter，），pass up是不屑一顾的意思 ，
still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks（一英镑一块butter）.
