闪米特人的

Before this time, according to inscriptions which have been found, Babylonian Semites lived there.

在此之前的时间，根据铭文已被发现，巴比伦闪米特人住在那里。

Ethnologically considered, the Babylonians are a mixed people, composed partly of the Sumerian and the most ancient Semitic emigrants, partly also of the continuously invading West Semites, and further more of Kassites and other people, all of whom were amalgamated.

ethnologically考虑，巴比伦人，是一个混合的人，组成部分的苏美尔和最古老的犹太人移民，这部分也正在不断侵入西闪米特人，并进一步更多的kassites和其他人，所有这些人都被合并。

At an early date the south must have been settled by Semites, who spoke a language related to Ge'ez, which was afterwards to a great extent influenced by the languages of the native population, particularly by the Agau dialects.

早日在一个南方必须得到解决，由闪米特人，他们以一种语言相关ge'ez ，这是事后在很大程度上受语言的土著人口中，特别是由agau方言。

Amurru's wife is sometimes the goddess Asaratum who in northwest Semitic tradition and Hittite tradition appears as wife of the god El which suggests that Amurru may indeed have been a variation of that god.

阿姆茹的妻子有时候在西北方的闪米特人传统中，是女神阿萨拉顿，而在希泰人传统里面，却是神伊尔的妻子，暗示了阿姆茹可能事实上是一个神的不同面。

Ironically, the division of the ancient worldsintosAsia and Europe was probably borrowed by the Greeks from the Phoenicians, the ancestors of today's Lebanese; indeed, Europe and the Arabic Maghrib may well be derived from the same Semitic root, referring to the setting of the sun.

奇怪的是，将古代世界分成亚洲与欧洲的分法很可能是希腊人从腓尼基人也就是今天黎巴嫩人的祖先那里借用过来的。说真的，欧洲一词与阿拉伯语的西方一词很可能来源于闪米特语系的意思是&太阳落下&的同一个词根。

Briefly recapitulating the political history of the Eastern Semites, we may distinguish four periods.

简要地回顾一下政治史的东方闪米特人，我们可区分四个时期。

Already by 3000 BC several city-states had been established by Sumerians dark-skinned, non-Semitic people who probably migrated from the east

在公元前3000年前，苏美尔人就建立了好几个城邦国家。他们皮肤黝黑，可能是从东方移民过来的非闪米特人。

All the racial peculiarities of the Semites are best explained from the character of a desert people.

所有种族特殊性的闪米特人，是最好的解释，从性质沙漠的人。

This power, and with it the entire dominion of the Semites in south-western Asia, was overthrown by the Persians.

这项权力，而与整个统治的闪米特人在东南亚，西亚，也被推翻，由波斯人。

The further question as to how the original ancestors of the Semites came to Arabia, is for the present beyond historical knowledge.

进一步的问题是，如何原始祖先闪米特人来到沙特阿拉伯，是本超越历史知识。

The split between the two groups can hardly be papered over.

这两个团体间的分歧难以掩饰。

This approach not only encourages a greater number of responses, but minimizes the likelihood of stale groupthink.

这种做法不仅鼓励了更多的反应，而且减少跟风的可能性。
