So however many that is,

所以不管有多少人
that is what you try to recruit

你都应该试着吸纳进来
and you recruit typically at a time

而且这个时候
when it's easy to get people together

应该是个比较容易能够召集群众的时刻
so you can tell them the story.

以便你能够把这件事告诉大家
The best time would be at some great festival.

因此最好的时机就是在一些盛大的节日上
There are festivals held in each city just for its own citizens

有些城市的节日只有当地居民才参与
and my guess is that when you could do that,

当你觉得时候到了
when you felt that you could recruit a full colony

可以从科林斯居民中
from your fellow citizens in Corinth,

招满去殖民地的人
let us say, that's what you did.

这就是你要做的
But it would often happen that there were not enough Corinthians

但是经常会没有足够的人
