So, I think we have to understand that

我认为我们需要明白的是
colonization provided something analogous to that for the Greek people.

殖民为希腊人提供了类似的好处
So now, here we are

那么现在
somewhere in the seventh century,

我们来到了前七世纪的某个时刻
most of these places I've been talking about have been settled,

我所讲到的大多数地方都有希腊人定居
the currents that I have been describing are flowing

我所讲到情况在这些地方产生
and the kinds of problems they have give rise to

大部分城市
what will be felt in most of the towns

都会经历这些状况导致的问题
and that is the proper introduction

这正是明年
to the next topic, which I'll discuss next year.

我所讲的话题的一个恰当引论
No not--it seems like a year,

不是明年感觉像过了一年
but it's next Tuesday actually.

我们下周二再见
