hanging around town and making trouble.

更愿意打发他们离开
It is only speculation,

这只是猜测
but it seems to make sense and

但却有理可言
we know we don't hear of such troubles

我们在雅典底比斯和斯巴达
within Athens and Thebes, and Sparta.

都没有看到这些状况
It also is possible, again it's just speculation,

再一次只是猜测也很有可能
that population pressure might well be greater in the cities

这些进行殖民的城市
that did the colonizing.

人口压力相对大
They tended,in general,

这些城市也许大体上
not to have as much farmland as the places

并没有像未进行殖民的城市
that I have described as not being colonizers,

那样多的农田
who may not have felt the pressures of land hunger,

未进行殖民的城市没有土地匮乏的问题
