Well, let me turn at last

现在我们来看看
to one of the most interesting features

克利斯提尼宪法的
of the constitution introduced by Cleisthenes;

一个很有趣的特征
gives us a picture of how things worked

它向我们展示了它是如何运作的
that we wouldn't get any other way.

在其他文献中都没有类似的记载
I'm talking abut the law that was passed on ostracism.

我们现在谈谈贝壳放逐法
Our word ostracism derives from it,

英语排斥绝交一词就来自于此
but it's something quite different.

但那时的情况又有些不同
If somebody says we're going to ostracize this guy today,

如果我们说今天与这个家伙绝交了
it means we're not going to invite him for a drink;

那么今天我们不会约他一起喝酒
we're not going to go to his parties, things like that.

也不和他一起去派对
No this was something far different

但那时比现在严重得多
