in the Restoration, that is 1815-1830,

在重建时期也就是1815年至1830年间
a city had 1,500 people in it.

一个城市有一千五百人
There's that many people lined up at the Milford Mall

米尔福德购物中心门前总会排起长龙
when it opens in this country.

自它在这个国家开业就是如此
In 1841 they start using 2,000 people agglomerated,

1841年他们开始让两千个人聚居在一起
that is, living in an urban--;the church, the steeple.

那就叫居住在城市里了教堂也算
Open up the church and look at all the people or whatever.

打开教堂的大门放眼望去全是人
You know what I mean. That's an urban area.

你明白我的意思这就算一个城区
In the United States, I have no idea.

美国的情况我就不晓得了
A city used to be 5,000.

一个城市过去通常有五千人
I think it may be 25,000 or something like that.

我觉得可能有两万五千人差不多这么多人
It doesn't matter.

这不重要
