To have a system of life that allowed the Spartan citizens

即能建立一种让斯巴达公民
not to work in order to live;

无需工作也能生存的生活体系
no other Greek state would have that.

没有一个希腊城邦有那样的体制
If you want to think about

如果你回溯公元前七世纪时
Greek slavery in the seventh century B.C.,

古希腊的奴隶制度
think about what I told you about Hanson's reconstruction

想一想我和你们说过的
of the development of the polis.

汉森所重建的城邦发展理论
Think about farmers who themselves worked the fields,

想一想农民亲自下地劳作的场面
and are assisted in their work in the fields by one or two slaves

只带自家一两个奴隶来协助自己
that they owned. That's not the Spartan system.

这在斯巴达的体制中是看不到的
The Spartan system will be Spartans at home,

在斯巴达体制下斯巴达人待在家里
training constantly for their military purposes,

进行军事训练
