术语“贝壳弹劾”的详细信息

英译术语:

ostracism

汉语语境:

雅典民主制中的放逐制度即贝壳弹劾，通常被看作是平民与精英之间对立关系的表现；而苏格拉底的审判更是这种对立关系在事实上的体现。然而，从贝壳弹劾的内容与影响来看却并非如此，它通过象征性的作用将上述张力具象化，以此作为对政治领袖与精英的内在约束，实现了内在张力的缓解与平衡。

英语语境:

Ostracism, the ancient Athenian institution of exile, always seemed to be the manifestation of the tense between the masses and the elites. And the trial of Socrates even seemed to have reflected this relationship in reality. After a careful study of the content and influence of ostracism, however, we may get a different conclusion. That is, through its symbolic effect, ostracism became an internal restriction on political leaders and elites, and helped to relieve and balance that tense.
