氏族

This is the fundamental law of the gens, the bond which holds it together.

这是氏族的根本规则，维系氏族的纽带

They could not inherit from their father, because they did not belong to his gens, within which his property had to remain.

不过，他们不能继承自己的父亲，因为他们不属于父亲的氏族，而父亲的财产应该留在父亲自己的氏族内。

All offices were elective, generally within a gens, and to that extent hereditary to the gens.

一切职位多半都是在氏族内部选举的，因而是在氏族范围内世袭的。

When the idea of a gens was developed , it would naturally have taken the form of gens in pairs .

当氏族观念日益发展时很自然地就会出现成双配对的氏族。

It was composed of all the sachems and war-chiefs of the different gentes, who were genuinely representative because they could be deposed at any time.

它是由各个氏族的酋长和军事首领组成的──这些人是氏族的真正代表，因为他们是随时都可以撤换的

It is frequently quoted as an important argument of Morgan on the relation between the nation and the gentes.

"在氏族制度下，民族尚未兴起"，摩尔根的这句话，中国学术界十分熟悉，它经常被引用，被认作是摩尔根论及"民族"与"氏族"关系的一个重要观点。

There are several gentes intermingled by marriage in every tribe composed: of gentes.

就每一氏族本身来说，都是"外婚的"，但就部落的其余氏族而言，则是"内婚的"。

For since marriage was prohibited within the gens, there had to be at least two gentes in any tribe to enable it to exist independently.

因为在氏族内部禁止通婚的情况下，每个部落必须至少包括两个氏族才能独立存在。

With respect to the number of gentes in a tribe , the more numerous the people the greater, usually, the number of gentes

至于每个部落中的氏族数目，通常也是人口数愈大则氏族愈多。

All quarrels and disputes are settled by the whole of the community affected, by the gens or the tribe , or by the gentes among themselves

一切争端和纠纷，都由当事人的全体即氏族或部落来解决，或者由各个氏族相互解决
