I remember I raised it about colonization;

记得在讲到殖民地时我提过这个问题
let me raise it about tyranny.

针对僭主制我们再探讨一次
What were the contributions made by this development

历史上僭主的发生发展对希腊的生活
in Greek history to the life of Greece

有什么样的贡献呢
and they were many.

其贡献是如此繁多
Obviously, economical growth in the way I've pointed out,

明显的有像我已指出的经济增长
social change up to a certain point,

以及社会发展到某种阶段
but certainly doing away forever with the aristocracy of birth

永远刨除以与生俱来的贵族身份
as the normal basis for citizenship and participation in the state.

来判定公民身份和公众参与的基准
I would go further.

更深一步来说
I would say that by destroying that

即通过消灭贵族制
and substituting for some kind of an economic basis for what role you play,

代之以经济基础作为决定社会地位的基准
