This newly founded Spartan Empire was different

这个新的斯巴达帝国
from the Athenian Empire in a variety of ways.

在很多方面与雅典帝国不同
Remember the Athenian Empire,

记得雅典帝国
it started out as a voluntary association

开始于一个自愿的联盟
with a very clear common purpose,

有很明确的共同目标
to liberate those Greeks who were still under Persian rule

就是解放波斯统治下的希腊人
and to preserve their freedom from their Persian neighbors

维护自由抵抗邻国波斯
and former conquerors.

抵抗侵略者
On the other hand,

然而
this new empire under Lysander

这个由赖山德统治的新帝国
had no purpose

没有共同目标
and it was not voluntary in any shape,manner or form;

没有自愿的形式规矩或组成
